🧬 Should I slab it?

Only if you're confident it's a 10

Only about 1 in 15 copies of this card get a 10. A 10 is worth $576, but after the $92 cost it barely beats the $11 raw copy.

Expected value if graded$9 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$11 (from 113 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 7% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 7%).

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 ~$29.
Grade odds (this card, 522 PSA-graded): 10 · 7%, 9 · 30%, 8 · 30%, 7 or lower · 33%. 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.
