Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to its high volume of player-specific collectors. COMC is a good secondary option for lower-value relics to save on shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading will likely exceed the market value of the card. List as an 'eBay Standard Envelope' eligible item to keep shipping costs under $1.00 for the buyer. Mention 'MVP' and 'Marlins' in the title.
