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.

  • Its last few sales went $18 → $30 → $52 → $50 → $35 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +16% across the window ($21 → $34).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 76 of this card, and only 55.3% 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.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

Only 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 ~$26 before the $80 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$-54 after - near or below a raw copy ($2 from 19 raw sales). Not worth grading unless you are confident it is a 10.
