Trending Up
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
  • 13 recorded sales · 4 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $59 → $55 → $35 → $45 → $63 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +43% across the window ($31 → $45).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 85 of this card, and only 16.5% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
  • Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Only if you're confident it's a 10

Only about 1 in 6 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $71 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $71, is $21 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$5 (from 51 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 32% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 16%).

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 ~under $0.
Grade odds (this card, 87 PSA-graded): 10 · 16%, 9 · 39%, 8 · 28%, 7 or lower · 17%. 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.
