Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a low-cost 'Buy It Now' with the eBay Standard Envelope shipping option) or Sportlots. It would also do well in a 'pick your own card' bulk listing.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading will significantly exceed the market value. List it with the eBay Standard Envelope ($0.63-$1.11) to keep the total cost attractive to set builders who only need this specific number.
