Best sold in a 'dollar bin' at a local card show, as part of a bulk lot on eBay, or donated. Shipping costs for a single sale would exceed the card's market value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. Given the sticker damage and corner wear, the grading fee ($15+) is significantly higher than the potential return. Best used to fill a set hole or for a young collector's starter pack.
