Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the return on investment is negative due to grading fees. Use clear, high-resolution photos of the corners and the serial number. List as 'Josh Donaldson Blue Jays Game Used Jersey #/99'. Use a bubble mailer with tracking rather than a plain envelope due to the card's thickness.
