Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot or single for bulk sellers), COMC, or local card shop dollar bins.
Selling Tips
Best sold as part of a complete 1986 Fleer set or team lot rather than individually, as the individual grading and shipping costs will exceed the card's value. If selling raw, ship securely in a penny sleeve and top loader using standard envelope shipping with tracking.
