I don't collect cards...so any input on what to do with this card would be appreciated. Also, any idea on value would also be helpful.

Should I?

-get it graded?
-put it on ebay without being graded?
-accept offers or make trades with Net54 members? I collect most paper items other than cards (Brooklyn Dodgers, NY Mets, NY Giants Football, Press Passes, Ticket Stubs, Programs, Wire Photos, etc.).

Thanks,

Jeff

If I was looking to sell it, I would get it graded with PSA. You do have to be a member so if you do not have any other cards to grade - it may not be worth your while to get a membership. If you know somebody with a PSA membership, you could get them to grade it for you. If you do not know anybody, then I would send it in to SGC or Beckett for grading. It will probably get a 3, perhaps a 4 and if it does grade a 3 or 4 you should be able to get $300-$400 for it.

Not disagree with pwilk17, but I seem to do better selling cards on ebay that are not graded, when they are gd-vg. You might get a 4, but I doubt it with the staining on the back. I think you would have a lot of luck on ebay, sellin ungraded. Best of luck!

I'd try the trade route. I think could get something good for it.

I did well with the one that I had. Steve made me a very happy collector and he is happy with it.
