Trending Up
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 58 recorded sales · 11 in the last year · trades every few months · high-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $50 → $80 → $44 → $55 → $45 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +17% across the window ($40 → $52).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 479 of this card, and only 7.5% 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.

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 ~$55.
Grade odds (this card, 479 PSA-graded): 10 · 8%, 9 · 30%, 8 · 34%, 7 or lower · 28%. 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.
