Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now/Best Offer), COMC, or Sportlots. For lower-value cards like this, selling in a lot with other 1970s stars or Colts cards is often more effective than an individual auction.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you believe it is a flawless PSA 9 or 10, as the grading fee exceeds the value of a mid-grade example. Use '1977 Topps Bert Jones Colts #95' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader via eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracking.
