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 sniffed around the sales pile.
  • 31 recorded sales · 5 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • The recent trail reads $70 → $48 → $74 → $80 → $50 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 210 of this card, and only 7.6% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

Only a 8% 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 ~$52 before the $80 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$-28 after - near or below a raw copy ($4 from 21 raw sales). Not worth grading unless you are confident it is a 10.
