Selling Tips
Due to the low value and condition issues, grading this card is not financially recommended as fees will far exceed the card's value. List with clear photos of both front and back. Use a bubble mailer for protection unless sold as a low-cost 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping option to attract budget buyers.
