Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of modern basketball card hunters. COMC is a good secondary option for lower-cost shipping for the buyer.
Selling Tips
Listing now during his rookie season is optimal. Use keywords like 'Utah Jazz RC', 'Numbered', and 'Green Explosion'. Use a bubble mailer with tracking; a plain white envelope (PWE) is risky for a numbered card.
