🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Cooling Off
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
- 9 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Following the trash: $14 → $25 → $8 → $11 → $15 — a steady drift lower.
- Median moved -25% across the window ($18 → $14).
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($15 on 2026-07-04) landed 46% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- Census check: PSA has graded 135 of this card, and only 21.5% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
- 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.

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, 135 PSA-graded): 10 · 21%, 9 · 27%, 8 · 19%, 7 or lower · 32%. 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.
