Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Yankees team lot on eBay, or in a 'commons' bin at a local card show. Not recommended for individual sale due to shipping costs outweighing card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees will far exceed the return. List as part of a 1992 New York Yankees team set or a bulk lot of 1992 Studio cards to attract shipping-conscious buyers.
