Five parts, added together. On every line, a higher number is better. Tap the i for what it means.
Easy to buy & sell
20/25
What it measures. How often this card changes hands. High = you can buy or sell one any week at a known price. Why this card got 20 of 25. About 35 sales in 90 days across eBay, ALT, Goldin, Fanatics Weekly and Heritage, with the PSA 9 alone selling 17 times. Every rung from PSA 6 to PSA 10 traded this summer. Twenty-nine copies are listed on eBay right now.
Grading payoff
11/20
What it measures. How much a raw copy gains by being graded, after fees, and how likely a top grade is. High = grading a clean copy is clearly worth it. Why this card got 11 of 20. Only 16% of PSA submissions have come back a 10, and a raw copy today has been passed over for forty years. A 9 ($2,451) beats raw ($1,000) comfortably, so grading still pays, but the 10 is a long shot.
Scarcity
12/20
What it measures. How hard the card is to find and whether that will stay true. High = few exist and no more are coming. Low = plenty around, or supply still growing. Why this card got 12 of 20. Roughly 5,000 Tiffany sets were made in 1986 and 4542 copies of this card have been graded, 456 of them PSA 10s. Finite, but not rare. New submissions still arrive every week from broken sets.
Price trend
14/15
What it measures. Which way prices have been moving. High = rising on real sales. Why this card got 14 of 15. PSA 10 up 198% in 27 months, PSA 9 up 185%, PSA 8 up 127%. Every rung, every month, on every venue. One point held back because the last two PSA 10 prints jumped 20% at once.
Price vs similar cards
12/20
What it measures. Whether today's price looks cheap or expensive next to comparable cards. High = cheap for what it is. Why this card got 12 of 20. The regular 1986 Topps Traded Bonds in PSA 10 sells for about $915; the Tiffany is 17× it. That premium is the norm for Tiffany rookies of this era. Fairly priced against its own history, not cheap.
The premium Bonds rookie, and the best-performing vintage card in this series. A PSA 10 sold for about $5,500 in July 2024, $11,000 a year ago, and $15,500 this summer, with the last two prints at $17,999 (Fanatics Weekly) and $18,600 (eBay). The PSA 9 has nearly tripled too, from $875 to $2,625. It trades every few days across eBay and four auction houses, and the grader passes only one in six.

What the auction houses change.This card moves on both rails, and the houses run a little rich on the 10 and a little cheap on the 9. PSA 10: 2 of 5 sales in 90 days were at Fanatics Weekly, Heritage or ALT, middle price $16,500 against $15,500 on eBay; the summer's two highest prints split one each ($17,999 Fanatics Weekly, $18,600 eBay). PSA 9: the houses' middle price is $2,310 against $2,500 on eBay, with Fanatics Weekly printing both the low ($2,070, Jun 28) and the high ($3,400, Sep 18). Takeaway: sell a 10 wherever the next auction is; buy a 9 at Fanatics Weekly on a quiet week.

Split three ways: 64% PSA, 29% Beckett, 7% SGC. Beckett gives a 9.5 to four in ten; PSA gives a 10 to one in six, which is why the PSA 10 is worth 4× the BGS 9.5.
SUPPLY: CAPPED, STILL FILLING
About 5,000 Tiffany sets exist and cannot be added to. But sets are still being broken and submitted: the PSA count grows every month, mostly 8s and 9s. The PSA 10 count grows slowly because the grader is strict. Estimated value of all slabbed copies at today's prices: about $15.4M.
New PSA 10s per month: tracking started Sep 2026.

Same card, same year, same photo. The regular Traded set was printed in the millions; Tiffany in about 5,000 sets. A Tiffany PSA 10 costs 17 regular PSA 10s. A Tiffany PSA 9 costs about 2.7 of them, which is the cheaper way to own the Tiffany name.

Every angle
The Case For and Against
FOR
The best price chart in this series: PSA 10 up 198% in 27 months, PSA 9 up 185%, on hundreds of sales, not a few
Liquid at every rung: 17 PSA 9 sales in 90 days, a PSA 10 every couple of weeks, five venues bidding
Strict grading protects the top: 16% gem means the 456 PSA 10s will not be joined quickly
A 1986 card with a 2026 chart. Bonds' Hall of Fame question is unresolved, and that is the one story that could reprice this card again
AGAINST
A card that tripled in two years has already made its move. The buyer at $18,600 needs a fourth year like the last two
Grading a raw copy is a coin flip for a 9 and a 16% shot at a 10. Half the time you get an 8, which only breaks even after fees
4,542 graded copies and more arriving every month. This is a liquid market, not a scarce one
The 10 is 6.3× the 9. That gap is a bet on the label, and the SGC 10 at $6,800 shows how much of it is the PSA name
THE VERDICT
Holding a PSA 9 or better? Hold it, or sell into the next Fanatics Weekly if you want out; this is the one vintage card here whose chart has never turned down. Holding raw? Grade it: a 9 ($2,451) beats raw ($1,000) by enough to cover the fees twice over, and even an 8 ($1,154) gets the fees back. Buying? The PSA 9 at $2,300 to $2,700 is the right entry: it trades weekly, it has risen every month, and it costs one seventh of a 10 while carrying the same photo and the same set. Buy the 10 only under $15,500, and never off a listing. Skip the BGS 9.5 and SGC 10 unless they come cheap; the market pays for the PSA label on this card.
