🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Too Thin To Call
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
- 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.

🧬 Should I slab it?
Grade itAbout 1 in 3 copies of 1986 Original Series 4 cards get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $980, more than the $151 it costs to grade plus the $115 raw copy you give up.
Expected value if graded$829 (after $151 all-in cost)
Raw value today$115 (from 3 raw sales)

How these numbers work
All-in cost $151: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card (expected $109 with PSA's upcharge if it comes back worth more than the tier allows), insured shipping to PSA ~$12, PSA insured return shipping ~$30. Sending it to your PSA Vault instead skips return shipping (vault intake and storage are free): ~$121 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$859.
Grade odds (all 1986 Original Series 4 cards, 14,942 PSA-graded): 10 · 35%, 9 · 35%, 8 · 14%, 7 or lower · 16%. 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.
