Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay or listed on COMC (Check Out My Cards). Low value makes single-card shipping on eBay (unless using eBay Standard Envelope) unprofitable.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee will be significantly higher than the card's value. List it as '1992-93 OPC Premier James Patrick #172' and include 'New York Rangers All-Time Scoring Leaders' in the description to attract team historians.
