Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for high-volume base rookies. COMC (Check Out My Cards) is recommended for low-value base cards to save on shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10, as grading fees currently exceed the value of a PSA 9. Use keywords like 'Red Sox Prospect' and 'RC' in the listing title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a non-machinable envelope (eBay Standard Envelope) for low-cost tracked shipping.
