The 1978 Topps Don Calhoun #281 is a Football card released in 1978. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.03.
An ungraded copy is worth around $1.03, a PSA 9 around $15.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $27.50 and a pristine BGS 10 around $36.00. That's roughly a 27× 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?
The spread between raw ($1.03) and top-graded ($27.50) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.
