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…
Cooling Off
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
- 5 recorded sales · 4 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
- Following the trash: $32 → $15 → $16 → $25 → $17 — a steady drift lower.
- Median moved -28% across the window ($24 → $17).
- Census check: PSA has graded 489 of this card, and only 6.7% 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?
Only if you're confident it's a 10Only about 1 in 15 copies of this card get a 10. A 10 is worth $538, but after the $92 cost it barely beats the $12 raw copy.
Expected value if graded$7 (after $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$12 (from 120 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10
Break-even: you need about a 8% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 7%).

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 ~$27.
Grade odds (this card, 489 PSA-graded): 10 · 7%, 9 · 30%, 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.
