Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading will far outstrip the market value of an PSA 8. List it as '1991 Fleer Ultra Ickey Woods Bengals #23' and use a high-resolution scan to show the condition clearly. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader via eBay standard envelope to keep shipping costs low.
