Card #
#110
Condition Grade
PSA 6 (EX-MT). While the surface and corners look relatively sharp, the centering is significantly shifted to the right (approx 70/30) and the top margin is thicker than the bottom. This prevents a high-grade designation.

Demand Level
Low to Moderate. Demand is primarily from Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts team collectors or those completing the 1978 set. Not a high-value vintage card.

$1.00 - $3.00
Graded Value
PSA 5: $8-12, PSA 6: $15-20, PSA 7: $25-30
Comparable Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $1.00-$2.00 plus shipping on eBay. PSA 8 copies recently sold in the $50 range, but this specific card's centering would prevent it from reaching that tier.
Description
This 1978 Topps Bert Jones features a classic sideline photo of the Baltimore Colts quarterback wearing a team jacket and helmet. The design is iconic for the era, utilizing a banner-style nameplate in blue and a red 'COLTS' ribbon at the top left.
Key Features
Features the 1976 NFL MVP Bert Jones. Part of a classic 1970s Topps design set with high nostalgia value for Colts fans.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity based on the natural chip-prone card stock, the specific dot-matrix print pattern in the 'COLTS' banner, and the correct color saturation for late 70s Topps. This is not a commonly counterfeited card.
Flaws to Note
Significant right-side centering bias. Bottom edge appears slightly rough (likely a factory cut issue common to the year). Minor whitening may be present on the corners under magnification.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for a single base card like this. It could also be sold as part of a lot of 1970s football cards on Mercari or at a local card show.
Selling Tips
Due to low value and poor centering, grading this card is not recommended as fees will exceed the card's value. List as '1978 Topps Bert Jones Colts #110' and use a standard white envelope (PWE) for shipping to keep costs low for the buyer.
