Price history · PSA 9
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…
Too Few Recent Sales
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
- 6 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Its last few sales went $52 → $17 → $10 → $8 → $6 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($6 on 2026-01-17) landed 63% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- None

🧬 Should I slab it?
Keep it rawOnly about 1 in 3 copies of 1988 Original Series 15 Diecut cards get a 10, and a 9 is worth $17 — less than the $92 it costs to grade. Even a 10 ($81) would leave you about -$11 after costs, not more than raw.
Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $37, is $55 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 (1988 Original Series 15 Diecut cards, 1,262 PSA-graded): 10 · 33%, 9 · 42%, 8 · 14%, 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.
