Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in a large 'bulk lot' or 'team set' on eBay. Individually, it is best suited for a 'pick-your-card' style listing or COMC. Local card shop 'dollar bins' or 'nickel boxes' are standard for this era.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of shipping and grading heavily outweighs the market value. If selling online, use a 1-cent 'eBay standard envelope' for shipping to keep costs low for the buyer. Use clear photos of the black borders to show edge condition accurately.
