🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Steady
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
- 9 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Following the trash: $12 → $25 → $30 → $40 → $25 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
- Census check: PSA has graded 532 of this card, and only 5.3% 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 10Only about 1 in 19 copies of this card get a 10. A 10 is worth $709, but after the $92 cost it barely beats the $13 raw copy.
Expected value if graded$19 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$13 (from 125 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10
Break-even: you need about a 4% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 5%).

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, 532 PSA-graded): 10 · 5%, 9 · 24%, 8 · 36%, 7 or lower · 35%. 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.
