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.
  • 3 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $100 → $100 → $83 — holding a steady range.
  • Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

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.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

Only a 32% gem rate on the 1986 GPK PSA pop (all sets that year) - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected ~$41 before the $80 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$-39 after - near or below a raw copy ($18 from 5 raw sales). Not worth grading unless you are confident it is a 10.
