Card # 143a
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…

Trending Up
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 34 recorded sales · 8 in the last year · trades every few months · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $26 → $22 → $45 → $39 → $60 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +34% across the window ($27 → $31).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 137 of this card, and only 43.8% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
  • Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.

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.

BORDERLINE

Roughly a 32% gem rate on this set's PSA pop - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected ~$36 before the $19 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$17 after - about even with a raw copy ($6 (est.)). A coin flip that only pays off on a high grade.
