🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Too Thin To Call- Only 2 recorded sales on the books — not enough for a trend without kidding ourselves. The last one changed hands at $26 on 2026-03-14.
- With this little to go on, the honest answer is we can't call a direction — one auction would swing the whole read.

Mad Mike — across every card
Subject page →🧬 Should I slab it?
Grade itOnly about 1 in 12 copies of this card get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $151, more than the $92 it costs to grade plus the $18 raw copy you give up.
Break-even: you need about a 2% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 8%).
How these numbers work
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.
