🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Steady
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 3 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $30 → $24 → $37 — holding a steady range.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($37 on 2026-09-07) landed 59% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Keep it raw

Only about 1 in 3 copies of 1988 Original Series 15 Diecut cards get a 10, and a 9 is worth $23 — less than the $92 it costs to grade. Even a 10 ($65) would leave you about -$27 after costs, not more than raw.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $36, is $57 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$9 (from 8 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 (1988 Original Series 15 Diecut cards, 1,262 PSA-graded): 10 · 33%, 9 · 42%, 8 · 14%, 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.
