Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for high-velocity prospect cards. COMC is a secondary option for long-term vaulting and sales to dedicated prospectors.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Top Prospect' and 'Orange Scope' in the title. Use high-resolution photos that catch the light on the scope pattern. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a bubble mailer (not a PWE) due to the card's thickness and surface sensitivity.
