🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Trending Up
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
  • 18 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $54 → $77 → $56 → $102 → $180 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +119% across the window ($45 → $99).
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($180 on 2026-09-20) landed 59% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 94 of this card, and only 38.3% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
  • Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Only if you're confident it's a 10

About 1 in 3 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $34 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $61, is $31 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$2 (from 29 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 78% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 38%).

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, 95 PSA-graded): 10 · 38%, 9 · 45%, 8 · 11%, 7 or lower · 6%. 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.
