Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card, ideally as part of a lot or for a set builder. COMC is also a good option for low-to-mid grade vintage singles.
Selling Tips
Due to the heavy wear, grading is not recommended as the fees would exceed the card's value. List with clear photos of the back to show the cartoon and stats. Use keywords like 'Vintage Detroit Pistons' and '1970-71 Topps' to attract set builders.
