Flaws to Note
Softness/white showing on the bottom left corner; slightly off-center L-R (right heavy); potential for 'dimples' or 'print lines' which are common in the 2023 Donruss foil sets.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (highest volume for parallels), COMC (good for long-term inventory), or sportscardforum/Reddit (to avoid high fees on lower-value items).
Selling Tips
Sell during the baseball season when Witt Jr. is on a hitting streak. Use keywords like 'KC Royals', 'Red Foil', and 'Short Print' despite it being a standard parallel to increase visibility. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a bubble mailer for protection.
