Key Features

Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. The cardboard stock aging, color palette of the 1975 design, and specific wear patterns are consistent with genuine vintage 1975 Topps stock. This specific card is not a common target for high-end counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Significant structural damage including a heavy horizontal crease across the middle-left edge, severe edge chipping, rounded corners, and visible surface scuffing. There appears to be a small puncture or deep dent near the bottom-center border.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for 'dollar bins' at local card shows, Facebook Marketplace 'bulk lot' listings, or as a low-cost eBay filler for set builders.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fees will far exceed the card's market value. If selling on eBay, use 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping to keep costs low. It is best sold as part of a 1975 Topps starter lot rather than a standalone item.
