The 1979 Topps Ken Mendenhall #438 is a Football card released in 1979. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.00.
An ungraded copy is worth around $1.00, a PSA 9 around $17.99, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $45.50 and a pristine BGS 10 around $59.00. That's roughly a 46× 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 ($1.00) and top-graded ($45.50) 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.
