Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now with Best Offer) or local sportscard shows. COMC is a good secondary option for selling lower-value vintage cards over time.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the centering and corner wear will limit it to a low grade that won't justify the $15-20 grading fee. Use high-resolution scans and mention 'Dwight Evans Boston Red Sox' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a cardboard-reinforced envelope.
