Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk lot or a team-specific 'quarter box' at local card shows. Individual listings on eBay are typically not profitable due to shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fees are significantly higher than the card's potential value. Use eBay Standard Envelope for cheap shipping if listed individually, or bundle it with other 1980s/90s Blue Jays or Mets cards to increase appeal.
