Selling Tips
This specific card in this condition is best sold as part of a 'lot' of 1966 Topps cards or Phillies team cards to maximize value. Do not grade this card; the cost of grading ($19+) far outweighs the market value of the card ($1-2). Use clear photos and disclose all creases to avoid returns. Ship via eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracking.
