Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it is a PSA 10 and you need it for a personal registry, as the cost of the slab will likely outweigh the market value. Use the keyword '2023 Topps Phillies Team Set' to attract buy-it-now customers. Always ship in a penny sleeve and top loader.
