Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot), COMC, or local card shop 'dollar' bins. It is not currently cost-effective to sell as a single item due to shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fees significantly outweigh the market value. Best sold as part of an Oakland Athletics team set or a '1991 Leaf' lot. Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping if selling individually to keep costs low for the buyer.
