🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Cooling Off
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
- 7 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Its last few sales went $18 → $20 → $12 → $17 → $22 — a steady drift lower.
- Median moved -29% across the window ($26 → $19).
- Census check: PSA has graded 151 of this card, and only 8.6% 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, 151 PSA-graded): 10 · 9%, 9 · 30%, 8 · 30%, 7 or lower · 31%. 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.
