Selling Guide

Best sold as part of a lot on eBay, or individually on COMC (Check Out My Cards). Local card shop buy-back bins or Mercari 'junk wax' bundles are also viable options.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading ($15+) far exceeds the resale value of the card. If selling online, combine it with other 1992 Upper Deck Yankees or other Steve Howe cards to save on shipping for the buyer. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a Plain White Envelope (PWE) to keep costs low.
