Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you believe it is a flawless PSA 10, as the grading fee far exceeds the value of a mid-grade copy. Use keywords like 'Hall of Fame,' 'HOF,' and 'Gold Cup' in any listing. For shipping, use a penny sleeve and top loader inside a standard envelope to minimize costs.
