🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Steady
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
  • 5 recorded sales · 1 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $13 → $18 → $10 → $10 → $16 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($16 on 2026-02-14) landed 38% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 93 of this card, and only 37.6% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
  • Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

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

About 1 in 3 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $28 — less than the $92 it costs to grade. Even a 10 ($67) would leave you about -$25 after costs, not more than raw.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $38, is $54 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$1 (from 9 raw sales)
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, 94 PSA-graded): 10 · 37%, 9 · 35%, 8 · 9%, 7 or lower · 19%. 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.
