Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in bulk lots on eBay, at a local card shop's 'common' bins, or at a garage sale. Individually, it is not cost-effective for most online platforms due to shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fee will be significantly higher than the final sale price. If selling, bundle it with other 1988 Score Cleveland Indians or other Greg Swindell cards. Use an envelope (PWE) to keep shipping costs under $1.00.
