Price history · PSA 9 (ST)
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…
No Sale In 12 Months
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
- 3 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
- The recent trail reads $17 → $10 → $62 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($62 on 2025-09-09) landed 27% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- Census check: PSA has graded 486 of this card, and only 6.0% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
- Net-net, nobody has sold this card at this grade in the last 12 months, so the trail above is history, not today's market. We don't call a direction until it sells again.

PSA fee $60 + shipping both ways $32
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 ~$52.
Grade odds (this card, 486 PSA-graded): 10 · 6%, 9 · 30%, 8 · 32%, 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.
