Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary market for SLUs. Mercari or specialized Sports Card/Memorabilia Facebook groups are also excellent options.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Unopened,' 'NIP,' 'Beezer,' and 'Florida Panthers Vintage.' Take high-resolution photos of the four corners of the card to show condition. Ship in a box, never a bubble mailer, to prevent the plastic bubble from crushing during transit.
