Condition Grade
Estimated PSA 8 (Near Mint-Mint). The card appears to have slightly soft corners upon close inspection, particularly the bottom left. Centering looks reasonably good for the era, but the high-gloss surface may hide fine scratches.

Demand Level
Low. While Schilling has historic stats, the card originates from the Junk Wax era where millions were printed. Market demand is currently limited due to oversupply and some personal controversies affecting the player's collectibility.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in a lot on eBay or Mercari, or as part of a Phillies team set. Not generally worth the fees of a high-end auction house unless it is a confirmed PSA 10.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading ($19+) significantly exceeds the market value of the card at most grades. List as part of a Philadelphia Phillies team lot or a Curt Schilling career lot to maximize chances of a sale.
