🗑️ The Garbologist says…

No Sale In 12 Months
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
  • 6 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $55 → $138 → $97 → $97 → $100 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 46 of this card, and only 43.5% 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 raw

About 1 in 2 copies of 1986 Original Series 6 Checklist cards get a 10, and a 9 is worth $30 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $59, is $33 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$1 (from 1 raw sale)

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 Checklist cards, 249 PSA-graded): 10 · 46%, 9 · 31%, 8 · 7%, 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 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.
