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…

Too Thin To Call
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
  • Only 2 recorded sales on the books — not enough for a trend without kidding ourselves. The last one changed hands at $18 on 2026-09-07.
  • With this little to go on, the honest answer is we can't call a direction — one auction would swing the whole read.

🧬 Should I slab it?

NO RAW PRICE YET

About a 42% gem (PSA 10) rate on the 1988 GPK PSA pop (all sets that year) - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected value ~$43 before the $80 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$-37 after. No raw (ungraded) sale of this card is on record, so there is no raw price to compare grading against yet.
