Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a New York Yankees team set, a 1992 Upper Deck complete set, or in a bulk 'dime box' at a local card show. Individual sale on eBay is not recommended due to shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fee will be significantly higher than the card's worth. List as part of a lot of 1990s Yankees or Upper Deck cards to maximize interest. Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping if sold individually to keep costs down.
