🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Cooling Off
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
- 34 recorded sales · 5 in the last year · trades every few months · moderate-confidence sample.
- Following the trash: $60 → $45 → $39 → $36 → $50 — a steady drift lower.
- Median moved -24% across the window ($54 → $41).
- Census check: PSA has graded 229 of this card, and only 12.7% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
- Net-net, the heat is coming off — recent sales are softening. Could be a breather, could be a top; the trash doesn't say which.

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 ~under $0.
Grade odds (this card, 230 PSA-graded): 10 · 13%, 9 · 40%, 8 · 26%, 7 or lower · 21%. 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.
