Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card in raw condition. It could also move quickly in a 'vintage' binder at a local card show or on Facebook collector groups.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The grading fees (approx. $20) will exceed the market value of the card in this condition. Sell as 'Raw Vintage' and provide a clear photo of the front to show the image quality. Use high-quality sleeves and a top loader for shipping.
