Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to its auction and 'Buy It Now' reach for player collectors. Facebook groups dedicated to 'Blue Jays' or 'Topps Chrome' collectors are also viable.
Selling Tips
Photograph outside of the top-loader (but inside a clean penny sleeve) to show the true sparkle of the refractor. Use keywords like 'Hof', 'Numbered', and 'Scherzer Blue Jays'. Shipping via eBay Standard Envelope ($0.64 - $1.12) is the most cost-effective for a card in this price range.
