10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$415 against ~$358 raw — an unusually slim premium reflecting thin sales data (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).
Promo print with few graded examples and limited recent sales; read these figures with caution and verify current listings.
Other graders: PSA leads resale; given thin data, verify against current listings before buying or selling.
