Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot or low-cost BIN), COMC, or Sportlots. Generally best sold in bulk with other 1977 Topps or Packers cards.
Selling Tips
Due to low market value, grading is not recommended as the cost of grading significantly exceeds the card's value. List as '1977 Topps #44 Mike McCoy Packers' and use a standard PWE (Plain White Envelope) for shipping to keep costs down for the buyer.
