Selling Tips
As an unlicensed prospect card, it is best to sell during a hot streak or spring training. Shipping via eBay Standard Envelope ($0.64 - $1.11) is recommended to keep costs low. Do not grade this card unless you are doing it for a personal collection, as the fee will likely exceed the value gain.
