🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Trending Up
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
  • 16 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $61 → $34 → $27 → $46 → $60 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +41% across the window ($42 → $59).
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($60 on 2026-09-18) landed 22% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 47 of this card, and only 51.1% 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?

Keep it raw

About 1 in 2 copies of 1986 Original Series 6 cards get a 10, and a 9 is worth $17 — 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)
Raw value today$1 (from 13 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 (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.
