Price history · PSA 8
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
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
- 11 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- The recent trail reads $59 → $75 → $105 → $100 → $60 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($60 on 2026-11-07) landed 40% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- Census check: PSA has graded 160 of this card, and only 13.1% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
- 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 ~$164.
Grade odds (this card, 162 PSA-graded): 10 · 13%, 9 · 27%, 8 · 27%, 7 or lower · 33%. 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.
