Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for TCG), TCGPlayer (market standard), or Mercari. Local card shops are an option but will offer lower wholesale prices.
Selling Tips
Use high-resolution scans or macro photos of front and back. Mention 'Shadowless' and 'Base Set' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve inside a top-loader or semi-rigid Card Saver to prevent bending. Use a bubble mailer with tracking rather than a plain envelope.
