Selling Guide

eBay is the best platform for this specific card to capture the widest audience of Trout collectors. COMC is a secondary option for long-term consignment.
Selling Tips
Due to the reflective nature of the card, use multiple photos from different angles to prove the surface is scratch-free. Use keywords: 'Mojo Refractor', 'Angels', 'Short Print Style'. Only grade this card if you are confident it will hit a PSA 10, as the gap between raw and PSA 9 value is slim.
