Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading ($19+) exceeds the value of the card in this condition. Use keywords: '1975 Topps', 'Hank Aaron', 'Roger Maris', 'Record Holders', and 'Vintage'. Be sure to take a high-resolution photo out of the top loader to show the surface scratch clearly to avoid returns.
