Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold on eBay as part of a 'pick-your-card' listing, or through COMC (Check Out My Cards) for low-value inventory management. Local card shop bulk bins or Facebook 'Team Lots' groups are also viable.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card individually as the grading fees ($19+) will far exceed the card's value. List as part of a lot with other Red Sox players or 2024 Topps inserts. If listing on eBay, use 'Top Loader' and a 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) to keep shipping costs under $1.00.
