Selling Tips
Due to the high cost of grading ($19+), this card should only be graded if it is an absolute PSA 10 contender. Selling as a 'raw' common is best. Use '1977 Topps George Buehler Raiders #137' as the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a standard envelope (PWE) to keep shipping costs low for the buyer.
