Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for single low-value cards, or COMC for long-term consignment. It would also sell well in 'Rookie Lots' on Facebook Marketplace or at local card shows in the NY/NJ area.
Selling Tips
Due to the high cost of grading ($19-25+) relative to the card's value, it is not recommended to grade this unless you are certain it is a flawless PSA 10. List as a 'Buy It Now' with 'Standard Envelope' shipping ($0.60 - $1.10) to keep costs low for the buyer.
