Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for a quick sale. COMC is excellent for low-value inserts to save on shipping costs. Local card shows or team-specific Facebook groups (Yankees collectors) are also viable.
Selling Tips
Due to its high print run, grading is only recommended if the card is perfectly centered and flawless to chase a PSA 10. For a raw sale, use high-quality photos out of the sleeve to show the surface and ship in a penny sleeve and top loader using eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracking.
