TCA Value iTCAxis Value is a recency-weighted market value from REAL sales of this exact card+grade (recent comps count most, outliers stripped) — steadier and harder to game than a single 'last sale', which can be one lucky auction or a shill bid. When a card has few or no recent comps, we estimate transparently from its own older sales, its other grades, and comparable cards (same subject/set/rarity tier), factoring subject trend and scarcity — and we LABEL it as an estimate until real sales arrive.

  • 9 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $74 → $150 → $166 → $155 → $160 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +86% across the window ($83 → $155).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 179 of this card, and only 10.6% 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.

Worth grading

About a 11% gem (PSA 10) rate on this card's own PSA pop - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected value ~$220 before the $79 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$141 after, vs a raw copy around $14 (est.). Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $1,296 ten.
