Trending Up
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
- 7 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Its last few sales went $10 → $10 → $10 → $30 → $37 — a clear march higher.
- Median moved +29% across the window ($16 → $20).
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($37 on 2026-10-16) landed 56% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- Census check: PSA has graded 193 of this card, and only 37.8% 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, 193 PSA-graded): 10 · 38%, 9 · 36%, 8 · 13%, 7 or lower · 13%. 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.
