🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Trending Up
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • 15 recorded sales · 4 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $120 → $135 → $86 → $95 → $55 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +210% across the window ($30 → $93).
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($55 on 2026-10-14) landed 36% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 183 of this card, and only 9.3% 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 $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 ~$136.
Grade odds (this card, 183 PSA-graded): 10 · 9%, 9 · 25%, 8 · 29%, 7 or lower · 37%. 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.
