Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk lot on eBay, at a local garage sale, or donated. Individual sale is not recommended due to shipping costs exceeding the card's value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. To maximize value, include it in a '1991 Topps Complete Set' or an 'Atlanta Braves Team Lot.' If listing individually, use eBay Standard Envelope for under $1 shipping, but realistically, this is a dime-box card.
