How to Sell Pokemon Cards in 2020 and Beyond w/ Ray from @thenashvilleflippers

For this episode I brought on Ray from @thenashvilleflippers not only because he is a hobby collector and investor, but also because he is a part time eBay reseller. I wanted to get his insight on selling because it is an overlooked skill when it comes to collecting and long term investing. Collectors forget that there may come ties in the future where we'll want/need to sell parts of our collections so we will NEED to know how to sell.
