Selling Guide
Where to Sell
COMC, eBay (best as part of a lot or bulk listing due to low individual value), or local card shops.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value, it is not economically viable to have this card professionally graded unless it is part of a larger bulk submission. Best sold raw as part of a set, team lot, or player lot.
