PSA 8: $8-12, PSA 9: $15-25, PSA 10: $45-60

Selling Guide

eBay (best for single low-value cards via eBay Standard Envelope), COMC (for long-term consignment), or as part of a 'player lot' on Mercari/Facebook.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are confident in a PSA 10, as grading fees will exceed the value of a PSA 9. Use the 'eBay Standard Envelope' shipping method for $0.60-$1.00 to keep the total price attractive to buyers. Use keywords like 'Moniak RC', '1986 Design', and 'Angels' (his current team) to increase visibility.
