If you were gonna sell it all?
Which auction house would you contact? I am thinking of selling my rangers collection and was wanting some of your guys advice on which auction house to contact. What is the typical juice they charge. Would i be better off listing everything on ebay?

Re: If you were gonna sell it all?
Josh - I don't know much about auction houses, but speaking as a collector, I would sell things individually. Many people are not in a position to buy a whole lot, so that might drive down the number of people interested. For example, someone who wants a Hamilton bat may not be interested in the pair of cleats, so you are turning away that potential buyer. I can't speak about fees, but I think you'd be looking at a wider audience selling on eBay. I personally check eBay first. Only later do I look at auction houses. Other thoughts?

Re: If you were gonna sell it all?
First question is what are you selling? If you have high end stuff use an auction house. For baseball its tricky. Grey Flannel is the go to auction for basketball and football but I don't know how their baseball stuff does. Lelands seems to always have a good baseball selection. Most charge you between 15 and 20% depending on a variety of factors. For the cheaper stuff use Ebay or the classifieds here. I agree that individually is better. Alot of collector's don't collect a team but collect players and that way they will bid on your stuff. If you sell the whole thing as one lot it will discourage bidders. Personally I collect NFL stuff but only one jersey per player no specific team. If a jersey I wanted was bundled with alot of stuff i didn't want I wouldn't bid unless it was something impossible to find that I had to have. Also you might want to talk to Barry Meisel he sold Rangers stuff for awhile a few years ago maube he would sell it on consignment for you.

Re: If you were gonna sell it all?
If you can send me a list, I'd be happy to take some of those things off your hands and save you the trouble.
Especially Hamilton and Kinsler.
God Bless

I'd look at Robert Edwards Auctions for anything you consider high end like Rangers World Series items you might have. They have one auction per year sometime in the spring.
