🗑️ 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.
- Following the trash: $23 → $20 → $33 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
- Census check: PSA has graded 49 of this card, and only 18.4% 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.

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 ~$2.
Grade odds (all 1986 Original Series 3 cards, 18,030 PSA-graded): 10 · 30%, 9 · 39%, 8 · 13%, 7 or lower · 18%. 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.
