Price history · PSA 5
On-the-record sales go back as far as PSA reports them — late 2017 for GPK — plus eBay-tracked and raw sales as they land.
🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Too Few Recent Sales
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
- 7 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Its last few sales went $10 → $14 → $25 → $50 → $20 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
- Census check: PSA has graded 709 of this card, and only 25.7% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
- None

How these numbers work
All-in cost $92: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card, insured shipping to PSA ~$12, PSA insured return shipping ~$20. Sending it to your PSA Vault instead skips return shipping (vault intake and storage are free): ~$72 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$34.
Grade odds (this card, 709 PSA-graded): 10 · 26%, 9 · 40%, 8 · 17%, 7 or lower · 18%. People send their best copies, so a random raw copy usually grades a bit lower.
Values when it comes back (~95 days, about Feb 12, 2027): today's values (the set has no clear 3-month trend).
Expected value if graded = each grade's chance × its value, minus the all-in cost. A guide, not a guarantee — centering and corners on your copy decide the grade.
