eBay (as part of a lot or set), COMC, or Sportlots. This card is best sold as part of a larger 1994 Collector's Choice team set rather than a standalone item.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is a flawless PSA 10 candidate, as grading fees far exceed the value. List it with the keyword 'Fictional' or 'Fantasy Team' to help collectors find it specifically. Use a penny sleeve and top loader for shipping.
