🗑️ 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.
  • Following the trash: $20 → $18 → $95 → $6 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($6 on 2026-10-21) landed 64% 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, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Grade it

Only about 1 in 14 copies of this card get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $224, more than the $102 it costs to grade plus the $14 raw copy you give up.

Expected value if graded$122 (after $102 all-in cost)
Raw value today$14 (from 27 raw sales)
VerdictGrade it

Grading pays even without a 10.

PSA fee $60 + shipping both ways $32 + likely upcharge $10
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.
