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…

Steady
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
  • 13 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • The recent trail reads $25 → $44 → $30 → $75 → $95 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($95 on 2026-05-11) landed 27% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 84 of this card, and only 41.7% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
  • Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

NO RAW PRICE YET

About a 42% gem (PSA 10) rate on this card's own PSA pop - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected value ~$43 before the $80 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$-37 after. No raw (ungraded) sale of this card is on record, so there is no raw price to compare grading against yet.
