Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay mass-listings or COMC (Check Out My Cards). Shipping cost typically exceeds the value of a single card, so it is often sold in player lots or team sets.
Selling Tips
Grading is generally not recommended for this specific card unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint 10, as the cost of grading ($20+) outweighs the market value. Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping for $1.00 or less to keep the total price attractive to buyers.
