🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Too Few Recent Sales
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • 8 recorded sales · 1 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • The recent trail reads $260 → $455 → $560 → $1,289 → $810 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 187 of this card, and only 10.2% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • None

🧬 Should I slab it?

Grade it

Expected value if graded$92 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$20 (from 16 raw sales)

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 ~$112.
Grade odds (this card, 192 PSA-graded): 10 · 10%, 9 · 30%, 8 · 27%, 7 or lower · 33%. 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.
