Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to its high volume of low-to-mid range parallel sales. It would also perform well in 'dollar boxes' at local card shows or as part of a Mike Trout player lot.
Selling Tips
This card is likely not worth the cost of grading unless you are certain it will hit a PSA 10. List it with the keyword 'Flame' to distinguish it from the base version. Use a penny sleeve and top loader for shipping, and utilize eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost, tracked shipping under $20.
