⤵ Sell · next 3 monthsIts one sale in the last 3 months, $550, was far above the about $358 it sold for in the nine months before. After a jump like this the next sales usually came in lower than the jump sale, though well above the old price (1,655 cards since 2019). The set is rising, but this card has already jumped well ahead of it.

Trending Up
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • 29 recorded sales · 9 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $365 → $383 → $375 → $499 → $550 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +35% across the window ($257 → $370).
  • 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.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Grade it

Only about 1 in 28 copies of this card get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $1,930, more than the $292 it costs to grade plus the $175 raw copy you give up.

Expected value if graded$1,638 (after $292 all-in cost)
Raw value today$175 (from 36 raw sales)
VerdictGrade it

Grading pays even without a 10.

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 13, 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.
