Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, COMC, or local card shows. Due to the low raw value, selling as part of a lot or on COMC/eBay standard envelope is recommended.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless submitting as part of a bulk submission, as grading costs will exceed the value. List clearly on eBay using keywords like 'Rookie RC', '1985 Topps Anniversary', and ship securely in a penny sleeve and top loader using eBay Standard Envelope.
