Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in a large 'bulk lot' of 1992 Fleer cards on eBay, or as a low-cost 'filler' card on COMC. Selling individually is difficult due to shipping costs relative to card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees will never be recovered. If selling, include it in a 1990s Astros team set or a Fleer year-complete set to maximize interest. If listed individually, utilize eBay Standard Envelope for $0.60-$1.00 shipping to keep the total price attractive for set builders.
