Price history · PSA 8 (ST)
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
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
- Nobody's actually sold this exact card and grade on record, so there's no live market to read — the price you see is a modeled estimate, not a realized sale.
- 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.

🧬 Should I slab it?
Grade itOnly about 1 in 24 copies of this card get a 10; across every grade, a graded copy should be worth about $240, more than the $104 it costs to grade plus the $15 raw copy you give up.
Expected value if graded$136 (after $104 all-in cost)
Raw value today$15 (from 31 raw sales)
VerdictGrade it
Grading pays even without a 10.

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 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.
