Robert Edward Auctions is an auction house for vintage cards. What it costs to consign, when you are paid, the deadlines, and who to ask for.

In short. Robert Edward Auctions adds a 23% buyer’s premium to the hammer price. The seller’s commission is not published — it is negotiated per consignment.

No house pays to appear here or to appear higher. What follows is what Robert Edward Auctions publishes, or has told us directly, with the date we last checked. It is not a recommendation, and nothing here is a view on what your cards are worth. We also buy cards ourselves; that has no bearing on anything written here.

Before you ask for two quotes

Robert Edward Auctions and Huggins & Scott are the same company. Asking both is not a second opinion.

What a buyer pays on top

Before you call

Know roughly what is there first — which cards matter, and which are graded. Ask for the seller's commission in writing, ask whether anything else is charged (photography, insurance, return of unsold lots), and ask when you will be paid. Then ask at least one other house the same questions.
