Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card to reach Miami Heat team collectors. COMC is also a viable option for low-to-mid end inserts.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Purple Prizm' in the title. Photography should capture the rainbow refraction to distinguish it from the base insert. Shipping in a bubble mailer with tracking (Ground Advantage) is recommended if sold above $20; otherwise, eBay Standard Envelope is better for lower price points.
