🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Too Few Recent Sales
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 12 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • The recent trail reads $297 → $294 → $300 → $480 → $425 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($425 on 2026-10-11) landed 25% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 209 of this card, and only 12.9% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • None

🧬 Should I slab it?

Grade it

Only about 1 in 8 copies of this card get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $157, more than the $92 it costs to grade plus the $15 raw copy you give up.

Expected value if graded$65 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$15 (from 28 raw sales)
VerdictGrade it

Break-even: you need about a 2% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 13%).

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 ~$85.
Grade odds (this card, 209 PSA-graded): 10 · 13%, 9 · 38%, 8 · 28%, 7 or lower · 22%. 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.
