Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for high visibility. COMC is excellent for lower-value raw cards to avoid shipping overhead. Facebook Baseball Card groups are great for quick sales with no fees.
Selling Tips
Avoid grading this card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10; the cost of grading often exceeds the value of a PSA 9. When listing, use keywords like 'RC', 'Royals', and 'Short Print' (though technically base, it is a seasonal set). Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a bubble mailer for protection.
