What's the difference between graded and raw 1977 1977 78 Topps #78?

Graded copies of the 1977 1977 78 Topps #78 are sealed in PSA, SGC, or BGS holders with an assigned condition grade on a 1–10 scale; raw copies are ungraded and the buyer assesses condition directly. Graded copies typically command a premium because the holder authenticates and grades the card in one step — but for raw cards, the upside is condition-judgment that beats the grader's eye.
