Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for quick sale; COMC is excellent for long-term consignment if you don't want to handle shipping. Facebook Reds fan groups are also viable.
Selling Tips
Sell during a De La Cruz hitting streak to maximize price. Use keywords like 'Rookie', 'Cycle', and 'City Connect'. Because this is a print-on-demand card with a reported print run of 114,354, only grade if the card is perfectly centered and flawless to chase a PSA 10.
