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…
Cooling Off
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
- 3 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
- The recent trail reads $10 → $6 → $9 — a steady drift lower.
- Median moved -32% across the window ($10 → $7).
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($9 on 2026-07-02) landed 54% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- 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.

🧬 Should I slab it?
Keep it rawAbout 5 in 10 copies of 2016 GPK cards get a 10, and a 9 is worth $19 — less than the $92 it costs to grade. Even a 10 ($37) would leave you about -$55 after costs, not more than raw.
Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $28, is $64 short of the $92 all-in cost)

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 (all 2016 GPK cards, 6,595 PSA-graded): 10 · 53%, 9 · 35%, 8 · 7%, 7 or lower · 5%. 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.
