🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Steady
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
  • 4 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $16 → $31 → $16 → $30 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 398 of this card, and only 5.3% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

Automated analysis generated from this card’s real recorded sales and PSA population data — no opinions, no predictions guaranteed. Entertainment and research only, not financial advice.

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 ~$75.
Grade odds (this card, 398 PSA-graded): 10 · 5%, 9 · 21%, 8 · 35%, 7 or lower · 39%. 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.
