Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Most effectively sold in a St. Louis Cardinals team lot on eBay or as part of a bulk set filler on COMC. Selling individually is generally not cost-effective due to shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees will significantly exceed the market value. List as part of a '1992 Topps Lot' or 'Cardinals Team Lot' to maximize interest. Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping to keep costs low for the buyer.
