Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of prospect 'bubble' traders. Facebook Yankees fan groups are also a viable option to avoid fees.
Selling Tips
Do not grade unless you are certain of a PSA 10, as the grading fee currently exceeds the raw value. List with keywords like 'Yankees Top Prospect' and 'SSP' or 'Case Hit' if applicable to the specific retail odds of the Rockets parallel.
