My question is, are you in a rush to sell?
Nah not so much. The cards have been sitting on my shelf for 10 years already... Though I am still trying to figure out if I can somehow monitor whether the card is fluctuating in value, so that I might use this information to choose when to sell (or if to sell urgently).

if you contact a vendor such as SCG or CFB, they'll give you either cash, or store credit
That's a great tip. I'll keep that in mind. We don't have anything like that here in NZ (that I know of).

sell the lower value stuff first to build a reputation and get some feedback
This sounds the most appealing to me.
Having you all mention that I will need to inherit some reputability (through trading or a 3rd party), is very insightful. I hadn't considered it, and now I can imagine many aspects in which a trade can go awry. As a result, I've been looking for some sort of guide on trading etiquette - something that will suggest how best to preview (photograph), package & ship cards. Do you have any suggestions?
A friend was looking through my old MTG collection and pulled out a Foil Polluted Delta (Onslaught). Told me to hard cover protect it asap and see if anyone would like to buy it.
I have given it a UV protective case, but am finding a hard time understanding how best to trade it, as I live in NZ.
I've attached a pic of it in its sleeve...
It has no discernible scratches, indentations or blemishes; except for a tiny, white scuff mark (about the size of 1/2 a pin head) on a corner of the reverse side. It has potentially seen one hours worth of sunlight in it's lifetime, total.
I don't think I have much chance of finding a buyer locally. How best can I go about selling a card like this?
Thanks
