Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk team set lot on eBay, in a 'quarter-box' at a local card show, or donated. Shipping individually is not cost-effective.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees will never be recovered. To sell, group it with other 1980s/90s Red Sox players like Wade Boggs or Roger Clemens to attract team collectors. Use an eBay Standard Envelope for cheap shipping if selling for $1 or less.
