🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Too Few Recent Sales
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • 13 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $102 → $77 → $150 → $205 → $180 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 197 of this card, and only 6.6% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • None

🧬 Should I slab it?

Grade it

Only about 1 in 15 copies of this card get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $159, more than the $92 it costs to grade plus the $18 raw copy you give up.

Expected value if graded$67 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$18 (from 20 raw sales)

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.
