Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in a 'dollar bin' at a local card show, as part of a lot on eBay, or through a high-volume platform like COMC to minimize shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees will far outweigh the market value. List it in a 'pick your card' listing or include it in a 1990s Rookie lot. If selling individually, use a Plain White Envelope (PWE) to keep shipping costs below $1.00.
