🗑️ The Garbologist says…

No Sale In 12 Months
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 8 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $30 → $28 → $31 → $49 → $53 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($53 on 2025-03-29) landed 29% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 211 of this card, and only 7.1% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, nobody has sold this card at this grade in the last 12 months, so the trail above is history, not today's market. We don't call a direction until it sells again.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Grade it

Only about 1 in 14 copies of this card get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $247, more than the $102 it costs to grade plus the $17 raw copy you give up.

Expected value if graded$145 (after $102 all-in cost)
Raw value today$17 (from 20 raw sales)
VerdictGrade it

Grading pays even without a 10.

How these numbers work
All-in cost $102: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card (expected $70 with PSA's upcharge if it comes back worth more than the tier allows), 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): ~$82 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$165.
Grade odds (this card, 211 PSA-graded): 10 · 7%, 9 · 27%, 8 · 28%, 7 or lower · 38%. 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.
