Selling Tips
Do not grade this card individually as the cost of PSA/BGS service will likely exceed the card's resale value. List it with the keywords 'RC', 'Rookie', and 'Rockies' to capture team collector interest. Shipping via eBay Standard Envelope (PWE) is the most cost-effective method for this price point.
