Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to its auction format and broad reach. Blue Jays-specific Facebook groups or COMC are also viable options for a fixed-price listing.
Selling Tips
Highlight '18/18' as a 'Bookend' in the listing title to appeal to serial number collectors. Take photos from multiple angles to show the depth of the relic windows. Ship in a thick-card top loader (likely 100pt - 130pt) and a bubble mailer.
