Selling Guide
Where to Sell

Selling Tips
If shipping online, remove glass and ship paper rolled in a sturdy tube, or package glass extremely carefully with heavy bubble wrap and corner protectors. Use key terms like 'LeRoy Neiman Vintage 1979 Poster', 'Equestrian Horse Art', 'Hammer Graphics NYC', '70s Gallery Print'. Take non-glare photos in indirect natural light.
