eBay (as a 'Buy It Now' with best offer) or COMC. It is also a great candidate for a $1 bin at a local card show or as part of a Mavericks 'team lot' on Facebook Marketplace.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading will likely be higher than the final sale price. Use 'Dallas Mavericks' and 'Blue Velocity' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader using the eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracking.
