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…

Cooling Off
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • 4 recorded sales · 1 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $10 → $50 → $10 → $15 — ran up to a peak of $50, then cooled back off.
  • Median moved -58% across the window ($30 → $12).
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($15 on 2025-10-25) landed 28% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 519 of this card, and only 5.0% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, the heat is coming off — recent sales are softening. Could be a breather, could be a top; the trash doesn't say which.

🧬 Should I slab it?

SLAB IT

About a 5% gem (PSA 10) 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 value ~$127 before the $49 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$78 after, vs a raw copy around $9 (est.). Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $910 ten.
