Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot), COMC, or local card shop bulk bins. Selling as a single item online is difficult due to shipping costs outweighing card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the fees will far exceed the return. Best sold as part of a 1992 Stadium Club complete set or a Texas Rangers team lot. If listing on eBay, use 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping to keep costs low for the buyer.
