Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Poor (P 1)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.25 - $1.00; Graded (if low grade): Not recommended for professional grading due to heavy damage.
Recent Sales
Comparable raw 1978 Topps commons in similar condition generally sell for under $1.00 or are found in bulk lots.
Condition Details
Severe damage at the top-left corner and border with visible paper loss and heavy tearing. Noticeable corner rounding, edge wear, and slight surface scuffing.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth grading. The grading fees would far exceed the total value of the card given its poor condition and heavy structural damage at the top border.
