Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for targeted collectors), Facebook Marketplace (great for D.C. area local sales), or Mercari.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Mr. National', 'SGA', and 'Walk-Off Home Run'. In the D.C. area, list on local FB groups to avoid shipping risks. If shipping, double-box with plenty of bubble wrap as the arms are very thin and prone to snapping.
