🧬 Should I slab it?

Grade it

Only about 1 in 17 copies of this card get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $124, more than the $92 it costs to grade plus the $13 raw copy you give up.

Expected value if graded$32 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$13 (from 136 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 ~$52.
Grade odds (this card, 486 PSA-graded): 10 · 6%, 9 · 30%, 8 · 32%, 7 or lower · 32%. 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.
