Selling Guide
Where to Sell
TCGplayer (best for market price), eBay (as part of a lot), or Facebook MTG Buy/Sell/Trade groups. Selling locally at a Game Store (LGS) will likely result in a 'bulk' offer of only a few cents.
Selling Tips
This card is best sold as a 'bundle' or 'lot' with other animal-themed cards to increase value. If selling individually, use a 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping method to keep costs low, as tracked shipping will exceed the card's value.
