🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Steady
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 71 recorded sales · 9 in the last year · trades every few months · high-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $109 → $125 → $85 → $55 → $65 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($65 on 2026-11-08) landed 24% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 493 of this card, and only 9.3% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Only if you're confident it's a 10

Only about 1 in 11 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $86 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if graded$22 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$12 (from 141 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 7% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 9%).

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 ~$42.
Grade odds (this card, 500 PSA-graded): 10 · 9%, 9 · 33%, 8 · 30%, 7 or lower · 29%. People send their best copies, so a random raw copy usually grades a bit lower.
Values when it comes back (~95 days, about Feb 13, 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.
