  • Census check: PSA has graded 577 of this card, and only 5.9% come back a 10 — tough to gem.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Only if you're confident it's a 10

Only about 1 in 17 copies of this card get a 10. A 10 is worth $574, but after the $92 cost it barely beats the $12 raw copy.

Expected value if graded$18 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$12 (from 126 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 5% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 6%).

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 ~$38.
Grade odds (this card, 577 PSA-graded): 10 · 6%, 9 · 31%, 8 · 30%, 7 or lower · 33%. People send their best copies, so a random raw copy usually grades a bit lower.
Values when it comes back (~95 days, about Feb 13, 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.
