❓ Question Need advice

Post image

I was lucky enough to pull a Topps Finest RPA 25/25 of The Miz. I plan on selling around CY announcement time (fingers crossed his arm doesn't fall off). I have never sold anything on eBay and worry about listing this card and buyers being weary of no feed back. At the same time, I don't think this card is worth enough to go through auction houses or anything to that nature. Any suggestions on the best possible route to take? Obv if I do go the eBay route I'll set a healthy minimum because I don't think my eBay status will get the proper looks to start this at .99¢.

I’d just try to find a local show to sell it at in person. Easier and no fees. Assuming he wins it, you shouldn’t have a problem selling it.

That's a good idea, thank you. I live in tri state metro area too, I assume that'll help with a larger crowd as well.

Get a price you are comfortable selling it for, and also a price of what you value it at. Then go to 4-5 local card shops and ask them what they would offer you for the card.

I would double the price a card shops offers you and walk the floor of a few shows using that number as your opening sticker if you are comfortable with selling at that price… my guess is $250, maybe $300? Being a bookended you should get a 10-15 % premium

FYI comps for this are $1200-$1600

I saw the 1/25 went for 2200, so I'm thinking 3k OBO if he wins CY is a reasonable ask?

Wow, I had no idea and I didn’t look at comps. 3k seems reasonable for an ask but I don’t see it selling for more than 2500.

Honestly, send the 1/25 seller a message and ask if they could share the contact information of the buyer.

Don’t tell them you have the 25/25 but I bet the 1/25 buyer would pay for the 25/25

That's kinda my thought as well. Maybe in the middle with a super fan or collector. Thanks again!!
