Flaws to Note
Visible edge wear on the bottom right corner; minor surface dimples typical of Panini chrome products; centering is slightly heavy on the left border.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (highest volume for low-mid tier inserts) or Complicated (COMC) for consistent sales to set builders.
Selling Tips
Avoid grading unless the surface is flawless, as collegiate inserts have lower ROI than NBA Prizm. List using 'Duke Blue Devils' and 'Orlando Magic' keywords to maximize search traffic. Use a penny sleeve and top loader.
