Price history · PSA 8.5
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 Thin To Call
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
- Only 1 recorded sale on the books — not enough for a trend without kidding ourselves. The last one changed hands at $60 on 2019-03-24.
- With this little to go on, the honest answer is we can't call a direction — one auction would swing the whole read.
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.

All-in cost
$98
PSA fee $60 + shipping both ways $32 + likely upcharge $6
How these numbers work
All-in cost $98: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card (expected $66 with PSA's upcharge if it comes back worth more than the tier allows), 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): ~$78 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$177.
Grade odds (this card, 572 PSA-graded): 10 · 5%, 9 · 17%, 8 · 28%, 7 or lower · 50%. 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.
