Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for mid-to-lower grade cards of this era. Local card shows or vintage-specific Facebook groups are also viable.
Selling Tips
Due to the lower grade (approx PSA 3), grading this card would likely result in a net loss after fees. Sell it raw, highlighting 'Ron Guidry RC' in the title. Use clear, well-lit photos of both the front and back to show the corner wear accurately.
