Card # 257a
GPK Price Guide Value iThis card has no sale at this grade yet, so the value is an estimate from its other grades and from cards like it, and it is labelled as an estimate until it sells. How this one was worked out: Estimate $17 - no sale of this card at any grade or parallel yet: geometric mean of 2 measured estimates - [1] its set: 92 sale-backed other cards, 20 of them Gold Refractor /50, x 3.3 the measured 26-50 numbered-to-base ratio across GPK cards (601 sales in that band), less the measured never-sold discount (21%) ($10) | [2] from its own raw (ungraded) sales ($21, 10 sales, newest Sep 11, 2025) x 1.30 (measured raw -> PSA curve).

🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Too Thin To Call
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
  • Nobody's actually sold this exact card and grade on record, so there's no live market to read — the price you see is a modeled estimate, not a realized sale.
  • With this little to go on, the honest answer is we can't call a direction — one auction would swing the whole read.

Automated analysis generated from this card’s real recorded sales and PSA population data — no opinions, no predictions guaranteed. Entertainment and research only, not financial advice.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

Only a 45.4% gem rate on the 2024 GPK PSA pop (all sets that year) - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected ~$43 before the $80 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~-$37 after - near or below a raw copy ($20 (guide value, not a sale)). Not worth grading unless you are confident it is a 10.
