Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, COMC (Check Out My Cards), or local card shows. Due to the low individual value of raw vintage base cards from this era, bundling with other 1986 Donruss stars or selling on COMC is often most efficient.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fees will far exceed the card's final value unless bundled. Sell raw in a penny sleeve and top loader. Use descriptive keywords like Hall of Fame, White Sox, and Vintage.
