Historical option prices for this thinly-traded ticker. Live quotes are wide and stale — use where each contract actually traded plus its 30-day range to place a limit order. 93 contracts (avg 106 vol/day, 93 traded recently)

PKG averages only 106 option contracts/day, so quotes are thin and bid/ask spreads run wide. Use the last actually-traded price below to set a limit order rather than chasing the displayed ask. Most tradeable call: the $260.00 10-16 call last traded $11.58 on 08/05 (now $9.60/$10.90) — try a limit near $10.25.
