Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for individual sales), COMC (best for bulk storage/sale), or Mercari. Local 49ers fan groups on Facebook may also show interest.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value, grading is not recommended unless the surface is flawless. When listing, use keywords like 'Frank Gore 49ers HOF' and 'Chrome Legends'. Ship in a bubble mailer with tracking for protection, as the chrome surface is prone to pressure indentations.
