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…
Steady
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
- 11 recorded sales · 1 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Following the trash: $18 → $17 → $14 → $20 → $39 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
- Census check: PSA has graded 582 of this card, and only 8.1% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
- Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

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, 582 PSA-graded): 10 · 8%, 9 · 29%, 8 · 31%, 7 or lower · 32%. 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.
