🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Trending Up
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
- 15 recorded sales · 5 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Its last few sales went $22 → $35 → $62 → $45 → $41 — a clear march higher.
- Median moved +25% across the window ($32 → $40).
- Census check: PSA has graded 709 of this card, and only 25.7% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
- 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 ~$34.
Grade odds (this card, 709 PSA-graded): 10 · 26%, 9 · 40%, 8 · 17%, 7 or lower · 18%. 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.
