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…
No Sale In 12 Months
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
- 3 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
- Its last few sales went $70 → $78 → $100 — holding a steady range.
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($100 on 2025-06-04) landed 44% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- Census check: PSA has graded 1,625 of this card, and only 1.8% come back a 10 — a genuine condition rarity.
- Net-net, nobody has sold this card at this grade in the last 12 months, so the trail above is history, not today's market. We don't call a direction until it sells again.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Expected value if graded$659 (after $135 all-in cost)
Raw value today$100 (from 150 raw sales)

PSA fee $60 + shipping both ways $42 + likely upcharge $33
How these numbers work
All-in cost $135: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card (expected $93 with PSA's upcharge if it comes back worth more than the tier allows), insured shipping to PSA ~$12, PSA insured return shipping ~$30. Sending it to your PSA Vault instead skips return shipping (vault intake and storage are free): ~$105 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$689.
Grade odds (this card, 1,625 PSA-graded): 10 · 2%, 9 · 11%, 8 · 21%, 7 or lower · 66%. 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.
