Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction or Buy It Now with Best Offer) is the best platform. Alternatively, Joey Votto player groups on Facebook or the 'Blowout Cards' forums would reach targeted collectors.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the visible corner wear will limit it to an 8, which doesn't provide a return on the grading fee. Use a thick 130pt top loader for protection and mention 'Short Print' and 'Hobby' in the title to attract buyers.
