Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, COMC, or local card shows. Due to low raw value, best sold as part of a lot or bulk listing rather than individually, unless graded in PSA 10 condition.
Selling Tips
Do not grade unless certain of a PSA 10 due to high grading costs relative to raw value. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader securely if selling individually.
