- Median moved +40% across the window ($263 → $442).
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($1,549 on 2026-09-27) landed 175% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- 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 $102: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card, insured shipping to PSA ~$12, PSA insured return shipping ~$30. 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 ~$507.
Grade odds (all 2017 Battle Of The Bands Classic Rock cards, 480 PSA-graded): 10 · 60%, 9 · 27%, 8 · 7%, 7 or lower · 6%. 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.
