Beating the market, or just riding it?

Not enough trading to say

Describes the last 2 months, not what happens next. Not investment advice.

Is it expensive or cheap?

$2.20 - mid-priced for its set

At $2.20 it is mid-priced for its set - number 697 of 1989 by price. It costs more than 75% of other Uncommon cards we track.

What makes this card unusual?

An ordinary Uncommon from a 8-year-old set

Uncommon is a widely printed rarity - 11,470 tracked cards share it. The set is about 8 years old, so surviving copies in good condition get scarcer over time.

Could you actually buy or sell it?

Unknown

Not enough observations to judge.

How does the grading fee compare?

Fee exceeds raw price

A roughly $22.00 grading fee is 1000% of the $2.20 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $24.20, before shipping, insurance or selling costs. That is a cost comparison, not an estimate of a graded copy's value. We track raw ungraded prices only - no graded sales and no population data. We cannot assess this copy's condition or tell you what a PSA 10 is worth. Check condition and comparable graded sales before deciding whether grading would pay off.
