Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a 'PWE' - Plain White Envelope listing) or COMC (Check Out My Cards). This type of 'common' card is best sold as part of a lot or used to complete a set for a dedicated collector.
Selling Tips
Due to the low value, professional grading is not recommended as fees will exceed the card's value. List with high-resolution scans and offer inexpensive shipping to attract set-builders.
