🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Cooling Off
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
  • 65 recorded sales · 19 in the last year · trades every few months · high-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $268 → $286 → $205 → $200 → $225 — ran up to a peak of $286, then cooled back off.
  • Median moved -13% across the window ($252 → $215).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 1,537 of this card, and only 1.5% come back a 10 — a genuine condition rarity.
  • Net-net, the heat is coming off — recent sales are softening. Could be a breather, could be a top; the trash doesn't say which.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Grade it

Fewer than 1 in 50 copies of this card get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $800, more than the $143 it costs to grade plus the $100 raw copy you give up.

Expected value if graded$657 (after $143 all-in cost)
Raw value today$100 (from 294 raw sales)
VerdictGrade it

Grading pays even without a 10.

How these numbers work
All-in cost $143: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card (expected $101 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): ~$113 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$687.
Grade odds (this card, 1,537 PSA-graded): 10 · 1%, 9 · 8%, 8 · 16%, 7 or lower · 74%. 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.
