🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Trending Up
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
  • 17 recorded sales · 4 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $28 → $25 → $40 → $50 → $45 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +52% across the window ($30 → $45).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 106 of this card, and only 6.6% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.

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 15 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $52 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $54, is $38 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$3 (from 62 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 24% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 7%).

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, 106 PSA-graded): 10 · 7%, 9 · 43%, 8 · 30%, 7 or lower · 20%. 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.
