Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading ($19+) far exceeds the raw value. List it as '2024 Topps Otto Lopez Blue Border #499 Marlins'. Mention 'PWE shipping available' to keep the total cost low for the buyer. Move it to a penny sleeve and top loader immediately to prevent carpet fiber scratches.
