If you take some time to browse the archives you will see that fishing for high prices never works. If you check out past auctions, sales, ebay listings etc, (which is what most people do before they purchase anything) you will see that your initial and subsequent asking prices are a bit "hopeful". I think if you do a bit of homework and ask a reasonable price at the start you will not have to play games along the way. The condition of the card is not great, but again still a card most want to own.
I am just trying to be helpful, and would suggest posting it to the discussion board first, and ask what members think about condition and real value. You could also open it up for offers to see what interested parties are willing to pay. I have my feeling of what is a fair value, you are welcome to PM me for my personal opinion. I am glad you are having fun as a new member. I just joined my self recently, but I do spend "a lot" of time browsing through the archives in order to make informed decisions.

Agree with the statement above... the other part of this that might be making buyers leery is the fact that its not graded for authenticity purposes. Im not pointing the finger, but with vintage cards its always a concern... with that being said... to help out...
i would start the bidding at $80 in hopes that it gets the thread moving towards a sale for you! Best of luck
