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…
Cooling Off
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
- 19 recorded sales · 5 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- The recent trail reads $10 → $15 → $22 → $28 → $16 — ran up to a peak of $28, then cooled back off.
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($16 on 2026-10-19) landed 33% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- Census check: PSA has graded 75 of this card, and only 24.0% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
- Net-net, the heat is coming off — recent sales are softening. Could be a breather, could be a top; the trash doesn't say which.

🧬 Should I slab it?
Keep it rawOnly about 1 in 4 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $23 — less than the $92 it costs to grade. Even a 10 ($75) would leave you about -$17 after costs, not more than raw.
Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $33, is $59 short of the $92 all-in cost)

VerdictKeep it raw
Even a PSA 10 would not beat the raw value.

How these numbers work
All-in cost $92: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card, insured shipping to PSA ~$12, PSA insured return shipping ~$20. Sending it to your PSA Vault instead skips return shipping (vault intake and storage are free): ~$72 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~under $0.
Grade odds (this card, 75 PSA-graded): 10 · 24%, 9 · 47%, 8 · 19%, 7 or lower · 11%. 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.
