Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card to capture the widest audience of player collectors. For a quick sale at a fair price, a Bobby Witt Jr. fan group on Facebook or a local card show would also be effective.
Selling Tips
Do not grade if you suspect anything less than a 9, as the cost of grading may eat the profit margin over raw value. If listing on eBay, use high-resolution scans to show the sharp corners. Use keywords: 'RC', 'Numbered', 'Amethyst', 'Royals', and 'Short Print'. Ship in a penny sleeve, top loader, and cardboard-protected bubble mailer.
