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
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • 11 recorded sales · 6 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $22 → $22 → $43 → $50 → $50 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +55% across the window ($30 → $46).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 44 of this card, and only 54.5% 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 55% gem 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 ~$33 before the $19 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$14 after - about even with a raw copy ($5 (est.)). A coin flip that only pays off on a high grade.
