Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Joey Votto 'player lot' on eBay or through a COMC (Check Out My Cards) bulk submission. Not recommended for individual sale due to shipping costs exceeding card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fees will be 10-20 times the card's worth. Use keywords like 'Cincinnati Reds', 'Future HOF', and 'ToppsTown Insert'. Shipping should be done via eBay Standard Envelope ($0.60 - $1.00) to keep total costs low for a buyer.
