🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Steady
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 20 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $200 → $220 → $299 → $200 → $250 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 344 of this card, and only 15.7% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
  • Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

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?

Only if you're confident it's a 10

Only about 1 in 6 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $67 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $84, is $8 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$3 (from 6 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 20% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 16%).

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 ~$12.
Grade odds (this card, 344 PSA-graded): 10 · 16%, 9 · 38%, 8 · 22%, 7 or lower · 24%. 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.
