Trending Up
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
- 6 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Its last few sales went $4 → $6 → $12 → $11 → $9 — a clear march higher.
- Median moved +69% across the window ($6 → $11).
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($9 on 2026-06-26) landed 37% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- Census check: PSA has graded 132 of this card, and only 42.4% 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?
Keep it rawAbout 1 in 2 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $25 — less than the $92 it costs to grade. Even a 10 ($62) would leave you about -$30 after costs, not more than raw.
Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $38, is $54 short of the $92 all-in cost)

VerdictKeep it raw
Even a PSA 10 would not beat the raw value.

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 · 42%, 9 · 33%, 8 · 12%, 7 or lower · 12%. 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.
