Card # 54a
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…

Steady
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 5 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $11 → $15 → $8 → $16 → $13 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($13 on 2025-03-18) landed 24% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 276 of this card, and only 11.6% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

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 ~$161 before the $49 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$112 after, vs a raw copy around $15 (est.). Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $765 ten.
