Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction or Buy It Now with 'Best Offer'), COMC, or team-specific Facebook collector groups (Red Sox/Orioles fans).
Selling Tips
Sell raw rather than grading, as the grading cost likely exceeds the value boost. Use keywords like 'Red Sox Orioles Quad Jersey' and 'AL East Stars' in the title. Ship in a padded bubble mailer using a 100pt to 130pt thick top loader.
