Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a 'Buy It Now' or as part of a team set), COMC for high-volume low-value processing, or local card shop bulk bins.
Selling Tips
This card is best sold as part of a 'Lot' or 'Team Set' for Detroit Tigers or Houston Astros collectors. Because it is a base card, the cost of grading will likely be higher than the final sale price. Always use a penny sleeve before inserting into a top-loader to prevent surface scratches.
