Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for a single base card like this. It could also move quickly in low-cost lots on Facebook Marketplace or at local card shows to set collectors.
Selling Tips
As a base card, grading is only recommended if the card is perfectly centered and flaw-free, as anything less than a PSA 10 often nets a loss after grading fees. Use eBay Standard Envelope for $0.69-$1.11 to keep shipping costs low for buyers.
