Trending Up
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
- 24 recorded sales · 11 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Its last few sales went $242 → $220 → $192 → $195 → $200 — a clear march higher.
- Median moved +19% across the window ($147 → $197).
- Census check: PSA has graded 533 of this card, and only 3.6% come back a 10 — a genuine condition rarity.
- 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 $292: PSA Express tier fee $199 per card (expected $250 with PSA's upcharge if it comes back worth more than the tier allows), insured shipping to PSA ~$12, PSA insured return shipping ~$30. Sending it to your PSA Vault instead skips return shipping (vault intake and storage are free): ~$262 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$1,668.
Grade odds (this card, 533 PSA-graded): 10 · 4%, 9 · 15%, 8 · 17%, 7 or lower · 64%. 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.
