eBay (as a PWE/Standard Envelope listing), COMC (best for processing high volumes of lower-value inserts), or Sportlots.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading ($19+) far exceeds the average raw or mid-grade market value. Use 'Chase Utley 2007 Topps Generation Now Hitting Streak' in the title. Remove from binder and place in a penny sleeve and top loader immediately to prevent further surface wear.
