What kind of grading; this 41 years old Wayne Gretzky rookie card?

Some of you guys have a keen eye on what grading a card could get at PSA and such, so I wanted to ask your opinion in this Wayne Gretzky rookie card as it has one bigger dent in the corner and one smaller in another. Any thoughts?

would think it tops out at a 5 w that corner.
Finnish Sportscaster.....a 5 is a decent grade with this supersize item

5 was my first and only thought as well.

Cool card, haven't seen that one before.

It is labeled as a 1980 so not his "rookie" card unfortunately but a rare card none the less!!
Probably a 4-5 at best. I am interested in it if it's available?

Yeah, it was printed in Helsinki in 1980, but it's the Finnish version of the card from the English-language set printed in 1979. It's fun also since the picture is of him at the age of 17, wearing a pre-NHL Edmonton Oilers jersey - an away jersey with orange logo, that was discarded when Edmonton Oilers joined the NHL. And yes! It's available so feel free to drop me a DM!
I've subbed a few of those for grading. My guess is a 4 based on a good sample size of experience with those.
I tried to put this up on eBay, but apparently as a new selleri it's illegal to sell anything above 200 USD. How insane is that? eBay's Customer Service just told me that I need to sell small items first in order to build up permission to get my sell limit raised, and that I can ask raises every 30 days if I've been successful selling small things the month prior. Why do they care how much I want to charge?
How on earth do you lot sell your cards on eBay?!?!?!
Auction style and let it ride is the way around that...

Sadly the limit is on auctions as well! Ugh.
It will move on the Wayne Gretzky collectors page or Wayne Gretzky cards page on FB I am a member of both and both have a lot of collectors..

Well if you start it at 99cents, it is not like that eBay can cap the bids, that would be insane.
2nd, if you are brand new and have like no feedback, then you may not get the bids you desire, as items sold by low feedback sellers are always a crap shoot in terms of the prices they get. Hopefully you have high feedback as a buyer. Otherwise I would find a friend with a decent account to move this for you.
And the selling limits are not insane, they are there to protect the community and prevent hit and run scammers. Just like becoming a seller on MySlabs, you have to earn your place. As far as the timeline, I have no clue how that works. Also, I see the limit as $500 (but might be an old page)
