Trending Up
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
- 25 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Its last few sales went $15 → $22 → $40 → $27 → $55 — a clear march higher.
- Median moved +48% across the window ($15 → $22).
- Census check: PSA has graded 133 of this card, and only 26.3% 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.

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, 135 PSA-graded): 10 · 27%, 9 · 36%, 8 · 16%, 7 or lower · 22%. 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.
