Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for reach), COMC (best for low-maintenance selling), or specialized Baseball Card Prospecting Facebook groups.
Selling Tips
Sell raw unless you are certain of a PSA 10, as grading fees may exceed the value of a PSA 9. Use keywords like 'Auburn Tigers', 'Draft Prospect', and 'Short Print' to attract specific collectors. Ship in a bubble mailer with tracking for protection.
