Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; Graded (PSA 7): $20 - $35; Graded (PSA 8): $60 - $90
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $2 to $10 depending on sharpness. PSA 8 copies have recently sold for approximately $75, while PSA 9 copies reach over $350.
Condition Details
The card shows slightly soft corners, particularly at the bottom left. Centering is shifted moderately to the right (approximately 70/30). The top edge shows minor chipping, and there is a noticeable horizontal surface line/scratch across the player's chest area.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading in current condition. The visible surface mark and rightward centering will likely limit the grade to a PSA 5 or 6, which does not carry enough of a premium to justify the grading fees plus shipping.
Card Description
The card features Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Ham of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is shown in a portrait shot wearing his black home jersey with number 59 visible. The bottom features a classic late-70s design with a 'STEELERS' pennant, an 'AFC' logo, and a pink football helmet icon denoting his position as Linebacker.
Notable Features
Features a Pro Football Hall of Famer. This is a standard vintage base card from the 1978 Topps set. No rookie designation (Ham's rookie was 1973).
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with period-appropriate card stock and the typical half-tone printing pattern visible. The aging of the white borders is consistent with Topps production from the late 1970s.
