Card # 43B
Garbage Pail Kids
TCA Value iTCAxis Value is a recency-weighted market value from REAL sales of this exact card+grade (recent comps count most, outliers stripped) — steadier and harder to game than a single 'last sale', which can be one lucky auction or a shill bid. When a card has few or no recent comps, we estimate transparently from its own older sales, its other grades, and comparable cards (same subject/set/rarity tier), factoring subject trend and scarcity — and we LABEL it as an estimate until real sales arrive.

Cooling Off
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
  • 5 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $61 → $593 → $222 → $160 → $350 — ran up to a peak of $593, then cooled back off.
  • Median moved -32% across the window ($327 → $222).
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($350 on 2025-03-19) landed 23% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 83 of this card, and only 12.0% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, the heat is coming off — recent sales are softening. Could be a breather, could be a top; the trash doesn't say which.

Worth grading

About a 12% gem (PSA 10) rate on this card's own PSA pop - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected value ~$105 before the $29 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$76 after, vs a raw copy around $4 (est.). Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $454 ten.
