🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Cooling Off
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
  • 6 recorded sales · 4 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $50 → $26 → $20 → $25 → $22 — a steady drift lower.
  • Median moved -39% across the window ($36 → $22).
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($22 on 2026-09-15) landed 27% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 572 of this card, and only 4.5% come back a 10 — a genuine condition rarity.
  • 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.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Grade it

Only about 1 in 22 copies of this card get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $255, more than the $98 it costs to grade plus the $20 raw copy you give up.

Expected value if graded$157 (after $98 all-in cost)
Raw value today$20 (from 141 raw sales)

Grading pays even without a 10.

How these numbers work
All-in cost $98: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card (expected $66 with PSA's upcharge if it comes back worth more than the tier allows), 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): ~$78 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$177.
Grade odds (this card, 572 PSA-graded): 10 · 5%, 9 · 17%, 8 · 28%, 7 or lower · 50%. 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.
