  • Median moved +77% across the window ($50 → $88).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 157 of this card, and only 4.5% 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 22 copies of this card get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $294, more than the $105 it costs to grade plus the $25 raw copy you give up.

Expected value if graded$189 (after $105 all-in cost)
Raw value today$25 (from 5 raw sales)
VerdictGrade it

Grading pays even without a 10.

How these numbers work
All-in cost $105: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card (expected $73 with PSA's upcharge if it comes back worth more than the tier allows), 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): ~$85 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$209.
Grade odds (this card, 157 PSA-graded): 10 · 4%, 9 · 24%, 8 · 29%, 7 or lower · 42%. 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.
