Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off to the right side of the card. Some very minor white chipping might be present on the bottom right corner tip, though it remains relatively sharp.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay (as part of a team lot or 'pick your card' listing), COMC for long-term inventory, or local card shop bulk bins.
Selling Tips
Grading is generally not recommended for this specific card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10, as the grading fee will likely exceed the card's market value. Best sold as part of a Cincinnati Reds team set or a Joey Votto player lot to maximize shipping efficiency.
