Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a 'Buy It Now' with 'Best Offer'), COMC, or Sportlots. Best sold as part of a Bengals team lot or 1982 set lot.
Selling Tips
Due to the low individual value and centering flaws, grading is not recommended as costs would far exceed the market value. Sell in a protective penny sleeve and top-loader to prevent further corner wear. Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping to keep costs low for the buyer.
