Comparable Sales
Modern uncorrected Topps base photo error cards typically sell for $1.00 to $5.00 raw on eBay depending on player popularity and listing visibility.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now listing with key terms 'ERROR' and 'Misprint'), COMC, or local card trading groups/Mets fan forums.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'ERROR' and 'Starling Marte Photo' clearly in the eBay title. Do not grade, as grading costs ($15-$25) will likely exceed the market value of the card.
