🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Too Few Recent Sales
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
- 3 recorded sales · 1 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
- Its last few sales went $10 → $23 → $28 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($28 on 2026-06-05) landed 40% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- Census check: PSA has graded 130 of this card, and only 19.2% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
- None

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 ~$7.
Grade odds (this card, 131 PSA-graded): 10 · 19%, 9 · 41%, 8 · 24%, 7 or lower · 15%. 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.
