High confidence. This is a mass-produced base card from the junk wax era; there are no known counterfeits due to the high production volume and low individual market value.

Extreme centering issues (miscut appearance toward the right edge), whitening on corner tips, and lack of a protective sleeve suggests potential surface scratches.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in bulk lots on eBay, at local garage sales, or donated. Individual sale is not recommended due to shipping costs outweighing the card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fee will be 100x the card's value. To sell, combine it with other 1980s Cubs cards as a team lot or include it in a 'bulk brick' of 1988 Topps cards to move inventory.
