Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, COMC, or local card shops. eBay is best for reaching individual collectors looking for specific 80s rookies.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value, it is generally not cost-effective to pay for professional grading unless pristine. Sell raw in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a team bag, or bundle with other 1987 Topps rookies (like Bo Jackson or Mark McGwire) to maximize shipping efficiency.
