Selling Guide
Where to Sell
TCGPlayer (best for fast sales), eBay (best for getting top dollar via auction or BIN), or local gaming stores (convenient but will only pay 50-60% of value).
Selling Tips
Take high-resolution photos of the front and back out of the sleeve to prove condition. Mention 'Pack Fresh' or 'Near Mint' if there is no whitening on the back. Ship in a penny sleeve inside a top loader, reinforced with cardboard to prevent bending.
