Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for wide audience), COMC (good for mid-tier long-term sales), or Washington Nationals fan groups on Facebook.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'On-Card Auto' and 'RC'. Since it is a lower-value autograph, grading may not be cost-effective unless you believe it is a guaranteed PSA 10. Ship in a bubble mailer (ground advantage) rather than a plain white envelope due to the value of the autograph.
