Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for high-volume base cards. For a raw copy, a local card shop or Facebook Dodgers collector group would avoid seller fees. If graded PSA 10, eBay or MySlabs are recommended.
Selling Tips
As a standard base card, grading is generally not recommended unless you are confident it is a 'perfect' Gem Mint 10, as the cost of grading often exceeds the value of a PSA 9. List with keywords 'Dodgers', 'First Dodger Card', and 'Pops 10' if applicable. Use a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a bubble mailer if shipping via eBay Standard Envelope.
