🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Trending Up
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 8 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • The recent trail reads $8 → $20 → $10 → $25 → $25 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +125% across the window ($10 → $22).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 150 of this card, and only 32.7% 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.

🧬 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 $36 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $56, is $36 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$2 (from 46 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 78% 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, 151 PSA-graded): 10 · 32%, 9 · 42%, 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 (the set has no clear 3-month trend).
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.
