Trending Up
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
- 16 recorded sales · 5 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- The recent trail reads $85 → $100 → $59 → $60 → $66 — a clear march higher.
- Median moved +69% across the window ($37 → $63).
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($66 on 2026-07-24) landed 32% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- Census check: PSA has graded 186 of this card, and only 7.0% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
- Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.

How these numbers work
All-in cost $102: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card (expected $70 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): ~$82 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$142.
Grade odds (this card, 188 PSA-graded): 10 · 7%, 9 · 31%, 8 · 31%, 7 or lower · 31%. 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.
