Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or COMC (Check Out My Cards) as part of a larger bulk lot or set breakdown, as individual shipping costs outweigh the card's raw value.
Selling Tips
Best sold raw as part of a 1997 Topps set or multi-card lot. Do not grade this card as the grading fees far exceed the potential value of the card even in a Gem Mint 10.
