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…
No Sale In 12 Months
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
- 8 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Following the trash: $5,658 → $7,500 → $7,643 → $5,401 → $8,500 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
- Census check: PSA has graded 2,076 of this card, and only 1.6% 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.
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

PSA fee $60 + shipping both ways $42 + likely upcharge $26
How these numbers work
All-in cost $128: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card (expected $86 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): ~$98 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$551.
Grade odds (this card, 2,076 PSA-graded): 10 · 2%, 9 · 13%, 8 · 23%, 7 or lower · 63%. 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.
