TCA Value iTCAxis Value is a recency-weighted market value from REAL sales of this exact card+grade (recent comps count most, outliers stripped) — steadier and harder to game than a single 'last sale', which can be one lucky auction or a shill bid. When a card has few or no recent comps, we estimate transparently from its own older sales, its other grades, and comparable cards (same subject/set/rarity tier), factoring subject trend and scarcity — and we LABEL it as an estimate until real sales arrive.

  • Census check: PSA has graded 193 of this card, and only 11.4% come back a 10 — tough to gem.

Worth grading

About a 11% gem (PSA 10) rate on this card's own PSA pop - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected value ~$181 before the $49 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$132 after, vs a raw copy around $7 (est.). Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $667 ten.
