Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in a lot on eBay or Mercari, or as a 'filler' card for player/team collectors at a local card show. High fees on single sales make it difficult to sell individually.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees will far outweigh the profit. Include it in a 'Phoenix Cardinals' or '1991 Pacific' set lot to maximize utility. Use keywords like 'Super Bowl Champion' or 'Cardinals Wide Receiver' for search visibility.
