Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk team lot or set on eBay, or placed in a 'quarter bin' at a local card show. Selling as a single item is generally not cost-effective due to shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fee (approx. $19+) significantly exceeds the card's market value. Include it in a '1990s Cleveland Indians' lot to attract buyers looking for multiple cards from that era to save on shipping. Use 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping for $1.00 or less to remain competitive.
