Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value, grading this card individually is not economically viable since grading fees will exceed the card's value even in a PSA 10. Sell raw or bundle with other Mariners/rookie cards into a lot. Ensure safe shipping in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a secure team bag.
