🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Too Thin To Call
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • Nobody's actually sold this exact card and grade on record, so there's no live market to read — the price you see is a modeled estimate, not a realized sale.
  • With this little to go on, the honest answer is we can't call a direction — one auction would swing the whole read.

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?

Only if you're confident it's a 10

Only about 1 in 3 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $44 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $63, is $29 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$8 (from 50 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 76% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 32%).

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, 93 PSA-graded): 10 · 32%, 9 · 40%, 8 · 15%, 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 13, 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.
