GPK Price Guide Value iGPK Price Guide Value is a recency-weighted market value from REAL sales of this exact card+grade (recent comps count most, outliers stripped) — steadier and harder to game than a single 'last sale', which can be one lucky auction or a shill bid. When a card has few or no recent comps, we estimate transparently from its own older sales, its other grades, and comparable cards (same subject/set/rarity tier), factoring subject trend and scarcity — and we LABEL it as an estimate until real sales arrive.

🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Steady
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • 16 recorded sales · 4 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $30 → $33 → $56 → $21 → $55 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 502 of this card, and only 8.6% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

Automated analysis generated from this card’s real recorded sales and PSA population data — no opinions, no predictions guaranteed. Entertainment and research only, not financial advice.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

Only a 9% gem rate on this card's own PSA pop - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected ~$74 before the $80 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$-6 after - near or below a raw copy ($12 from 96 raw sales). Not worth grading unless you are confident it is a 10.
