Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for mid-grade vintage base cards. COMC is also a good option for low-cost vintage to avoid individual shipping logistics.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fees would exceed the market value increase. Sell as 'Raw' or 'Vintage'. Always mention 'Hall of Fame' in the title. Use a penny sleeve and top-loader for shipping.
