Trending Up
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
- 11 recorded sales · 5 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- The recent trail reads $15 → $35 → $26 → $47 → $31 — a clear march higher.
- Median moved +74% across the window ($16 → $28).
- Census check: PSA has graded 493 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.
Automated analysis generated from this card’s real recorded sales and PSA population data — no opinions, no predictions guaranteed. Entertainment and research only, not financial advice.

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 ~$48.
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.
