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.

Cooling Off
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
  • 4 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $154 → $33 → $20 → $20 — a steady drift lower.
  • Median moved -79% across the window ($93 → $20).
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($20 on 2025-06-07) landed 33% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 23 of this card, and only 52.2% 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.

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 52% 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 ~$21 before the $80 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$-59 after - near or below a raw copy ($2 from 5 raw sales). Not worth grading unless you are confident it is a 10.
