🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Steady
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • 46 recorded sales · 11 in the last year · trades every few months · high-confidence sample.
  • The recent trail reads $57 → $51 → $45 → $45 → $38 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($38 on 2026-10-10) landed 27% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 519 of this card, and only 9.2% 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 if you're confident it's a 10

Only about 1 in 11 copies of this card get a 10. A 10 is worth $555, but after the $92 cost it barely beats the $11 raw copy.

Expected value if graded$19 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$11 (from 136 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 8% 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 ~$39.
Grade odds (this card, 519 PSA-graded): 10 · 9%, 9 · 30%, 8 · 30%, 7 or lower · 31%. 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.
