The 1978 Topps Dave Cowens #40 is a Basketball card released in 1978. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.26.
An ungraded copy is worth around $1.26, a PSA 9 around $27.73, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $176.92 and a pristine BGS 10 around $230.00. That's roughly a 140× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $1.26 and top grades reaching $176.92, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
