Selling Guide

Selling Tips
Wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth before photographing to remove smudges from the matte finish. List as '2021 Triple Threads Tatis' with high-quality photos. Given the high cost of grading ($19+) vs. the card's raw value ($5), it is recommended to sell this card raw rather than grading it. Use a bubble mailer for protection due to the card thickness.
