TCA Value iTCAxis Value is a recency-weighted market value from REAL sales of this exact card+grade (recent comps count most, outliers stripped) — steadier and harder to game than a single 'last sale', which can be one lucky auction or a shill bid. When a card has few or no recent comps, we estimate transparently from its own older sales, its other grades, and comparable cards (same subject/set/rarity tier), factoring subject trend and scarcity — and we LABEL it as an estimate until real sales arrive.

  • Following the trash: $53 → $51 → $85 → $79 → $78 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +41% across the window ($56 → $78).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 194 of this card, and only 6.2% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Worth grading

About a 6% gem (PSA 10) rate on this card's own PSA pop - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected value ~$245 before the $79 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$166 after, vs a raw copy around $19 (est.). Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $2,499 ten.
