Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk lot of Giants players on eBay, or placed in a 'quarter bin' at a local card show. Not recommended for individual online listing due to shipping costs outweighing card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading ($15-$25+) is much higher than the card's potential value ($0.50). Include it in a 'San Francisco Giants 90s Stars' lot to maximize interest. Use a Standard Envelope for shipping if sold individually to keep costs low.
