Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a team lot or cheap PWE listing), COMC (best for low-value base cards), or local Giants team collector groups on Facebook.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees will be significantly higher than the final sale price. Sell as a 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) listing on eBay for $1.00 - $1.50 with free shipping to attract Giants team set builders. Include keywords like 'SF Giants Prospect' and 'RC'.
