🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Too Thin To Call
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
- Nobody's actually sold this exact card and grade on record, so there's no live market to read — the price you see is a modeled estimate, not a realized sale.
- With this little to go on, the honest answer is we can't call a direction — one auction would swing the whole read.
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?
Grade itOnly about 1 in 3 copies of 1986 Original Series 3 cards get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $220, more than the $92 it costs to grade plus the $20 raw copy you give up.
Expected value if graded$128 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$20 (from 6 raw sales)

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 ~$148.
Grade odds (all 1986 Original Series 3 cards, 18,030 PSA-graded): 10 · 30%, 9 · 39%, 8 · 13%, 7 or lower · 18%. 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.
