Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card in raw condition. It could also sell quickly at a local card show in a 'vintage' value bin.
Selling Tips
Due to the damage (crease and scratch) and poor centering, this card is not a candidate for professional grading. Sell as 'Raw' and use high-resolution photos to clearly show the corner damage and surface. Mention 'HOF' and 'Oscar Robertson' in the title to attract player collectors.
