Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is for sentimental reasons, as the grading fee (approx $20+) will significantly exceed the market value. Selling as part of a St. Louis Cardinals 1991 team set is the most effective way to move this card. Use 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping to keep costs down for the buyer.
