Price history · PSA 10
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
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
- 10 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades every few months · moderate-confidence sample.
- Following the trash: $155 → $76 → $60 → $128 → $104 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
- Census check: PSA has graded 26 of this card, and only 50.0% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
- None

🧬 Should I slab it?
Keep it rawAbout 1 in 2 copies of 2023 MLB Series 3 cards get a 10, and a 9 is worth $70 — less than the $92 it costs to grade. Even a 10 ($107) would leave you about $15 after costs, not more than raw.
Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $78, is $14 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 ~$6.
Grade odds (2023 MLB Series 3 cards, 2,377 PSA-graded): 10 · 47%, 9 · 34%, 8 · 12%, 7 or lower · 8%. People send their best copies, so a random raw copy usually grades a bit lower.
Values when it comes back (~95 days, about Jan 21, 2027): today's values +10% (half the set's 3-month rise of 25%, capped at +10%).
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.
