Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a PWE/Standard Envelope listing), COMC (best for low-value base cards), or Facebook 'Cleveland Guardians' collector groups.
Selling Tips
This card is generally not worth the cost of grading unless you are certain it will hit a PSA 10. List using 'eBay Standard Envelope' for $0.60-$1.00 shipping to keep the total price attractive to buyers. Best to sell in a 'team lot' with other Guardians rookies to maximize shipping value.
