🗑️ The Garbologist says…
No Sale In 12 Months
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
- 3 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
- The recent trail reads $24 → $15 → $15 — holding a steady range.
- Census check: PSA has graded 31 of this card, and only 48.4% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
- Net-net, nobody has sold this card at this grade in the last 12 months, so the trail above is history, not today's market. We don't call a direction until it sells again.
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 rawAbout 1 in 2 copies of 1986 Original Series 6 cards 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, $31, is $61 short of the $92 all-in cost)

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 (1986 Original Series 6 cards, 4,027 PSA-graded): 10 · 45%, 9 · 34%, 8 · 9%, 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 13, 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.
