Price history · PSA 10
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 sniffed around the sales pile.
- Only 1 recorded sale on the books — not enough for a trend without kidding ourselves. The last one changed hands at $4,200 on 2025-06-25.
- With this little to go on, the honest answer is we can't call a direction — one auction would swing the whole read.

PSA fee $60 + shipping both ways $32 + likely upcharge $12
How these numbers work
All-in cost $104: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card (expected $72 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): ~$84 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$156.
Grade odds (this card, 217 PSA-graded): 10 · 4%, 9 · 22%, 8 · 31%, 7 or lower · 43%. People send their best copies, so a random raw copy usually grades a bit lower.
Values when it comes back (~95 days, about Feb 13, 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.
