- 12 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Following the trash: $20 → $16 → $33 → $50 → $38 — a clear march higher.
- Median moved +65% across the window ($16 → $26).
- Census check: PSA has graded 132 of this card, and only 29.5% 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.

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, 132 PSA-graded): 10 · 30%, 9 · 36%, 8 · 15%, 7 or lower · 20%. 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 +10% (half the set's 3-month rise of 25%, capped at +10%).
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.
