🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Cooling Off
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • 8 recorded sales · 4 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • The recent trail reads $14 → $8 → $10 → $28 → $18 — ran up to a peak of $28, then cooled back off.
  • Median moved -11% across the window ($15 → $14).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 55 of this card, and only 27.3% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
  • Net-net, the heat is coming off — recent sales are softening. Could be a breather, could be a top; the trash doesn't say which.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Keep it raw

Only about 1 in 4 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $18 — less than the $92 it costs to grade. Even a 10 ($49) would leave you about -$43 after costs, not more than raw.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $25, is $67 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$2 (from 15 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, 55 PSA-graded): 10 · 27%, 9 · 49%, 8 · 13%, 7 or lower · 11%. 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.
