🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Cooling Off
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 63 recorded sales · 10 in the last year · trades every few months · high-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $43 → $58 → $65 → $55 → $50 — ran up to a peak of $75, then cooled back off.
  • Median moved -15% across the window ($66 → $56).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 582 of this card, and only 8.1% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, the heat is coming off — recent sales are softening. Could be a breather, could be a top; the trash doesn't say which.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Grade it

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 ~$79.
Grade odds (this card, 582 PSA-graded): 10 · 8%, 9 · 29%, 8 · 31%, 7 or lower · 32%. 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.
