Card # 42b
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…

Cooling Off
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 10 recorded sales · 3 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Its last few sales went $25 → $45 → $30 → $38 → $35 — a steady drift lower.
  • Median moved -15% across the window ($41 → $35).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 89 of this card, and only 5.6% 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.

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.

Coin flip

Roughly a 6% gem 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 ~$44 before the $29 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$15 after - about even with a raw copy ($10 (est.)). A coin flip that only pays off on a high grade.
