The 1978 Hostess Jim Palmer Hand Cut #116 is a Baseball card (Hand Cut parallel) released in 1978. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $3.32.
An ungraded copy is worth around $3.32, a PSA 9 around $76.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $326.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $424.00. That's roughly a 98× 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 $3.32 and top grades reaching $326.00, 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.
