Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the gold standard for TCG. TCGPlayer is great for high-volume sellers. Mercari is good for casual collectors.
Selling Tips
Use keywords: '1st Edition', 'Jungle', 'Vintage', 'WOTC'. Take a clear photo of the back of the card to show edge wear. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a bubble mailer or rigid cardboard to prevent bending.
