🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Steady
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • 4 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • The recent trail reads $10 → $30 → $25 → $20 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 16 of this card, and only 31.2% 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?

Keep it raw

About 1 in 3 copies of 1988 Original Series 15 cards get a 10, and a 9 is worth $22 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $47, is $45 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$5 (from 17 raw sales)
VerdictKeep it raw

Break-even: you need about a 100% chance of a PSA 10 (1988 Original Series 15 cards: 35%).

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 cards, 2,223 PSA-graded): 10 · 35%, 9 · 41%, 8 · 12%, 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 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.
