About this guide
Garbage Pail Kids values move fast — a gem-mint 10 of an '85 Original Series sticker can trade at multiples of its raw price, and modern GPK Chrome parallels swing week to week. This free guide tracks every recorded graded slab sale, the live population report for each card and grade, and computes a fair TCAxis Value that weights recent sales most heavily — steadier than a single "last sale." Cards with no sales yet are shown as "never sold" with their population, so the checklist is complete even where the market hasn't spoken. Data refreshes continuously throughout the day.
