Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot), COMC, or local card shop bulk bins. Selling as a single on eBay is difficult due to shipping costs exceeding the card's value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10, as the grading fee will exceed the market value. Best sold as part of a Boston Red Sox team lot or a Hall of Fame player lot to maximize shipping efficiency.
