Flaws to Note
Significant left-to-right off-centering; white corner wear on the top left and bottom right; minor edge chipping along the right side; general surface wear typical of paper stock from this era.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a team set or bulk lot on eBay. Not worth selling individually online due to shipping costs exceeding card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. Use it to complete sets or give it to a young collector. If selling, list it as 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping to keep costs low for the buyer.
