🗑️ The Garbologist says…
No Sale In 12 Months
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 $8 → $14 → $8 → $21 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
- Heads up: the last recorded sale ($21 on 2024-08-10) landed 53% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
- Census check: PSA has graded 6 of this card, and only 16.7% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
- Net-net, nobody has sold this card at this grade in the last 12 months, so the trail above is history, not today's market. We don't call a direction until it sells again.

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 2021 GPK cards, 45,478 PSA-graded): 10 · 20%, 9 · 22%, 8 · 17%, 7 or lower · 41%. 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.
