🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Cooling Off
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
- 83 recorded sales · 19 in the last year · trades about once a month · high-confidence sample.
- Following the trash: $370 → $255 → $174 → $250 → $244 — ran up to a peak of $370, then cooled back off.
- Census check: PSA has graded 1,625 of this card, and only 1.8% come back a 10 — a genuine condition rarity.
- Net-net, the heat is coming off — recent sales are softening. Could be a breather, could be a top; the trash doesn't say which.
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.

All-in cost

PSA fee $60 + shipping both ways $42 + likely upcharge $33
How these numbers work
All-in cost $135: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card (expected $93 with PSA's upcharge if it comes back worth more than the tier allows), insured shipping to PSA ~$12, PSA insured return shipping ~$30. Sending it to your PSA Vault instead skips return shipping (vault intake and storage are free): ~$105 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$689.
Grade odds (this card, 1,625 PSA-graded): 10 · 2%, 9 · 11%, 8 · 21%, 7 or lower · 66%. 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.
