⤵ Sell · next 3 monthsIts one sale in the last 3 months, $65, was far above the about $39 it sold for in the nine months before. After a jump like this the next sales usually came in lower than the jump sale, though well above the old price (1,655 cards since 2019). The set is rising, but this card has already jumped well ahead of it.

🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Trending Up
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 15 recorded sales · 5 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $55 → $30 → $43 → $35 → $65 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +86% across the window ($18 → $32).
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($65 on 2026-10-05) landed 25% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 489 of this card, and only 6.7% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Only if you're confident it's a 10

Only about 1 in 15 copies of this card get a 10. A 10 is worth $538, but after the $92 cost it barely beats the $12 raw copy.

Expected value if graded$7 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$12 (from 120 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 8% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 7%).

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 ~$27.
Grade odds (this card, 489 PSA-graded): 10 · 7%, 9 · 30%, 8 · 31%, 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.
