Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot or cheap buy-it-now), COMC for long-term inventory, or local card shop 'bargain bins'. Small market for individual sale unless graded Gem Mint.
Selling Tips
Due to the centering issues, this card is best sold raw as part of a Bengals team set or a 1982 Topps rookie lot. Professional grading is not recommended unless the card is absolutely flawless (centering 50/50), as grading fees will exceed the market value of a PSA 7 or 8.
