🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Steady
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
  • 7 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $40 → $5 → $10 → $8 → $40 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($40 on 2026-06-28) landed 93% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 473 of this card, and only 6.1% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

Automated analysis generated from this card’s real recorded sales and PSA population data — no opinions, no predictions guaranteed. Entertainment and research only, not financial advice.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Only if you're confident it's a 10

Only about 1 in 16 copies of this card get a 10. A 10 is worth $509, but after the $92 cost it barely beats the $11 raw copy.

Expected value if graded$8 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$11 (from 120 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 7% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 6%).

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 ~$28.
Grade odds (this card, 473 PSA-graded): 10 · 6%, 9 · 26%, 8 · 31%, 7 or lower · 37%. 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.
