🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Cooling Off
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
- 6 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- The recent trail reads $10 → $24 → $8 → $15 → $15 — ran up to a peak of $24, then cooled back off.
- Median moved -21% across the window ($19 → $15).
- Census check: PSA has graded 496 of this card, and only 8.7% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
- Net-net, the heat is coming off — recent sales are softening. Could be a breather, could be a top; the trash doesn't say which.

🧬 Should I slab it?
SLAB ITAbout a 9% 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 ~$72 before the $29 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$43 after, vs a raw copy around $9 (est.). Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $269 ten.
