Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk lot of 1990 Donruss, in a Cubs team set, or via COMC (Check Out My Cards). Individual listing on eBay is not recommended due to shipping costs outweighing the card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The grading fee (approx. $20) is significantly higher than the card's worth. Best used for 'shoebox' set building or as a freebie 'filler' in a larger trade. If listing, use ‘eBay Standard Envelope’ for cheap shipping if you can bundle it with other cards.
