🗑️ The Garbologist says…

No Sale In 12 Months
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 4 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • The recent trail reads $26 → $32 → $10 → $14 — ran up to a peak of $32, then cooled back off.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($14 on 2024-08-23) landed 41% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 454 of this card, and only 4.0% come back a 10 — a genuine condition rarity.
  • 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.

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 25 copies of this card get a 10. A 10 is worth $635, but after the $92 cost it barely beats the $12 raw copy.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $89, is $3 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$12 (from 146 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 7% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 4%).

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 ~$17.
Grade odds (this card, 454 PSA-graded): 10 · 4%, 9 · 30%, 8 · 34%, 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.
