Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction or Buy It Now), COMC (Check Out My Cards), Mercari, or as a bundle in team-lot sales on Twitter/X or Facebook Groups.
Selling Tips
Grading is likely not cost-effective due to modern submission fees exceeding potential raw value gains unless part of a bulk submission aiming for PSA 10. List raw with clear photos removed from the outer top-loader to eliminate glare.
