Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Standard 1986 Topps card stock weight, correct font styling, appropriate color saturation, and standard grey cardboard back. Not a heavily counterfeited card due to low overall modern monetary value.
Flaws to Note
Noticeable centering issue with heavy top-to-bottom skew where the top border is significantly narrower than the bottom. Minor corner wear consistent with a mid-grade vintage card.

eBay or COMC are best for lower-value vintage inserts, or bundled in vintage lots to maximize shipping efficiency.
Selling Tips
Due to low raw value, grading this card is not financially recommended since grading fees will exceed the total card value. Sell raw in a penny sleeve and top loader using standard eBay auction or fixed-price format with clear photos.
