Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Yamamoto RC Blue', 'Dodgers Rookie', and 'Topps Holiday'. Photograph the card outside of the top-loader (but inside a penny sleeve) to show the surface clarity. This card is likely not worth the $25+ grading fee unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10, so selling 'raw' is recommended.
