If you want the money quickly, I would list the item on ebay with a low opening bid and a reserve. You may be able to work out a deal off of ebay and save yourself the fees once bidders start contacting you (even though ebay has started cracking down on that).
If it is a truly unique/rare item, I would send it to an auction house where anything can happen.
Or just send it to Ken Goldin where people pay $8k for a Cano bat.

I 2nd the notion that Goldin Auctions will be able to maximize the price for you. Anyone at GUU is welcome to contact me personally or Chris if you have a unique item you wish to get the most for. i do not want to make this an advertisement, but suffice to say we have not only the most extensive list of game used collectors, but also the largest sports collectibles list of customers who are OUTSIDE OF the hobby. This means they will not normally peruse EBAY or another auction site, and you may be the person whose item that catches their imagination and it goes for triple what you expect.
regards and good luck
