Trending Up
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
- 8 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Following the trash: $18 → $22 → $36 → $50 → $35 — a clear march higher.
- Median moved +26% across the window ($28 → $36).
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($35 on 2026-10-24) landed 22% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- Census check: PSA has graded 197 of this card, and only 6.6% 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.

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 ~$87.
Grade odds (this card, 197 PSA-graded): 10 · 7%, 9 · 27%, 8 · 34%, 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.
