Flaws to Note
Significant top-to-bottom centering issues (the top white border is much thinner than the bottom). Lower right corner shows visible fraying/softening. General edge wear consistent with age.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot), COMC, or Sportlots. Too low value for major auction houses or individual sale on specialty platforms.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading is 20-50x the card's value. List it as part of a 1985 Topps team set or a 'Father & Son' lot to maximize interest. Use a penny sleeve and top loader for protection.
