Selling Guide
Where to Sell
TCGplayer (best for singles), eBay (best for lots), or Mercari. Local game stores (LGS) for bulk trade-ins.
Selling Tips
Sell as a playset (4 copies) to maximize value, as players need 4 for a deck. Use a 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) with a top-loader for cheap shipping.
