Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for a low-mid range prospect card like this. It could also find a buyer in a dedicated Cincinnati Reds fan group on Facebook or as a 'throw-in' for a COMC submission.
Selling Tips
It is not recommended to grade this card as the grading fee will likely exceed the market value. List it as '2023 Optic Steele Hall Lime Green Emoji' to capture keyword searches. Use a clear photo without the scuffed top loader to showcase the surface quality.
