🗑️ The Garbologist says…

No Sale In 12 Months
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • 3 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $22 → $16 → $40 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 241 of this card, and only 18.3% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
  • Net-net, nobody has sold this card at this grade in the last 12 months, so the trail above is history, not today's market. We don't call a direction until it sells again.

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?

Keep it raw

Only about 1 in 6 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $39 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $42, is $50 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$2 (from 36 raw sales)
VerdictKeep it raw

Break-even: you need about a 85% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 18%).

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, 243 PSA-graded): 10 · 18%, 9 · 37%, 8 · 28%, 7 or lower · 17%. 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.
