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…
Steady
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
- 5 recorded sales · 1 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
- Following the trash: $38 → $52 → $42 → $35 → $120 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
- Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

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 ~$177.
Grade odds (2023 MLB Series 3 cards, 2,471 PSA-graded): 10 · 46%, 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 Feb 12, 2027): today's values +5% (half the set's 3-month rise of 11%, 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.
