🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Trending Up
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 4 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $24 → $13 → $23 → $35 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +59% across the window ($18 → $29).
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($35 on 2026-10-01) landed 25% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 449 of this card, and only 5.3% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Only if you're confident it's a 10

Only about 1 in 19 copies of this card get a 10. A 10 is worth $679, but after the $92 cost it barely beats the $13 raw copy.

Expected value if graded$13 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$13 (from 123 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 5% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 5%).

How these numbers work
All-in cost $92: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card, insured shipping to PSA ~$12, PSA insured return shipping ~$20. Sending it to your PSA Vault instead skips return shipping (vault intake and storage are free): ~$72 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$33.
Grade odds (this card, 449 PSA-graded): 10 · 5%, 9 · 24%, 8 · 37%, 7 or lower · 33%. People send their best copies, so a random raw copy usually grades a bit lower.
Values when it comes back (~95 days, about Feb 12, 2027): today's values (the set has no clear 3-month trend).
Expected value if graded = each grade's chance × its value, minus the all-in cost. A guide, not a guarantee — centering and corners on your copy decide the grade.
