Demand Level
Niche/Low. Frank Viola has a dedicated following among Mets, Twins, and Red Sox fans, but base cards from the 'Junk Wax' era (1987-1994) have massive supply and very low individual demand.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Boston Red Sox team set, a Frank Viola player lot, or in a bulk 'commons' box at a local card show. Listings on eBay as a single item are generally not cost-effective due to shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading significantly outweighs the market value. If selling online, list it in a 'pick your card' multi-listing to save on fees. Use a plain white envelope (PWE) for shipping to keep costs down for the buyer.
