Card # 1a
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.

🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Trending Up
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash. Liquidity read: 25 recorded sales on file (2 in the last year), trading only a few times a year — a moderate-confidence sample. The recent trail reads $2,811 → $3,552 → $2,603 → $4,000 → $4,000 — a clear march higher. Across the trailing window the median has moved +59% ($3,576 vs $2,250). Heads up: the last recorded sale ($4,000 on 2026-05-27) landed 54% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point. Census check: PSA has graded 1,456 of this card, and only 1.6% come back a 10 — a genuine condition rarity. Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.
