Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now with Best Offer), COMC for long-term storage and easier flipping, or Milwaukee-area Facebook card groups.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value vs. high grading fees ($19+), grading is not recommended unless you are certain it is a PSA 10. Use a 100pt or 130pt thick top loader for shipping to avoid squeezing the relic. Highlight 'Game-Used' in the title rather than 'Player Worn'.
