🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Steady
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 41 recorded sales · 5 in the last year · trades every few months · high-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $75 → $51 → $45 → $41 → $70 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • 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.

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.

🧬 Should I slab it?

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)

VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

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.
