Price history · PSA 10
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…
Trending Up
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
- 23 recorded sales · 4 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- The recent trail reads $925 → $700 → $720 → $1,900 → $1,500 — a clear march higher.
- Median moved +497% across the window ($176 → $1,052).
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($1,500 on 2026-04-13) landed 37% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- Census check: PSA has graded 519 of this card, and only 6.4% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
- Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.

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 ~$79.
Grade odds (this card, 519 PSA-graded): 10 · 6%, 9 · 25%, 8 · 28%, 7 or lower · 41%. People send their best copies, so a random raw copy usually grades a bit lower.
Values when it comes back (~95 days, about Feb 13, 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.
