🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Steady
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 25 recorded sales · 4 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $182 → $200 → $236 → $335 → $452 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($452 on 2026-10-15) landed 58% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 225 of this card, and only 13.8% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Only if you're confident it's a 10

Only about 1 in 7 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $68 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $80, is $12 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$5 (from 13 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 21% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 14%).

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 ~$8.
Grade odds (this card, 225 PSA-graded): 10 · 14%, 9 · 38%, 8 · 23%, 7 or lower · 25%. 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.
