What's the difference between graded and raw 1979 1979 Topps #490?

Graded copies of the 1979 1979 Topps #490 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.

Is my 1979 1979 Topps #490 a reprint?

Reprints exist for nearly every popular pre-1980 baseball card (including the 1979 1979 Topps Al Cowens). Originals show period-appropriate cardstock thickness, an offset-printing dot pattern visible under a 10× loupe, and back-design fidelity matching the era's printing process. If the card has modern gloss, sharp uncreased corners on a card that should show 76+ years of age, or paper that feels too white and crisp, treat it as a reprint until verified by a professional grading service.
