EBay listings for ungraded 57T Williams in VG seem to range from $125 - $175.
To establish a price, you should carefully examine the ebay listings that purport to be VG and compare to yours as many sellers on ebay have a very optimistic grading scale. Your VG maybe their VG-EX or EX - or, to put it another way, their VG might really deserve a G technical grade (I agree that the technical grade of yours should be VG for the reasons that others have stated). You should not accept that anything advertised as VG is guaranteed to be VG. fwiw...

What Jim said.
Let me just add that you should look at SOLD ebay auction results (advanced search) to see what similar cards went for.
Good luck!

Thanks. I've had a look at the sold items in Ebay and compared similar quality cards to my own. I've just posted the card for sale in the B/S/T section. I think I've priced it fairly. Fingers crossed.

57 Topps is a good looking set. Your Ted is about the same condition as mine, and I think yours is fairly priced.
