Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay or Mercari, or as a bargain bin item at a local card show. Given the condition, it is not a candidate for high-end auction houses.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees would significantly exceed the card's final market value due to the visible creases and corner wear. List it as 'Vintage Reggie Jackson All-Star' to attract Yankee collectors. Use a penny sleeve and top-loader for shipping to prevent further creasing.
