Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Most effectively sold in a lot with other 1991 Fleer cards or Chicago Bears cards on eBay. Otherwise, it is best suited for a 'quarter bin' at a local card show or shop.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees will be significantly higher than the card's terminal value. If listing online, use a high-resolution scan to show the condition clearly and list as part of a 'pick-your-card' team set listing to save on shipping costs (PWE - Plain White Envelope is recommended).
