Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Usually sold in bulk 'commons' bins at local card shops, at garage sales, or as part of a complete 1991 Donruss set. Individual listing on eBay is generally not cost-effective due to shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee far exceeds the card's value. Best used as a set filler or for a player collector. If selling, list as part of a Phillies team lot or a bulk junk-wax era lot.
