Historical option prices for this thinly-traded ticker. Live quotes are wide and stale — use where each contract actually traded plus its 30-day range to place a limit order. 103 contracts (avg 398 vol/day, 100 traded recently)

SLM averages only 398 option contracts/day, so quotes are thin and bid/ask spreads run wide. Use the last actually-traded price below to set a limit order rather than chasing the displayed ask. Most tradeable call: the $23.00 09-18 call last traded $2.80 on 07/21 (now $4.90/$5.30) — try a limit near $4.90. Also watch the $28.00 09-18 call last traded $0.55 on 07/30 (now $1.10/$1.45) — try a limit near $1.10; the $28.00 01-15 call last traded $1.65 on 07/30 (now $2.10/$3.20) — try a limit near $2.10. Most tradeable put: the $31.00 11-20 put last traded $5.65 on 07/30 (now $2.80/$5.60) — try a limit near $4.20.
