Card # 55a
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 sniffed around the sales pile.
  • 6 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • The recent trail reads $24 → $16 → $9 → $32 → $30 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +82% across the window ($16 → $30).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 101 of this card, and only 11.9% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.

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 ~$61 before the $19 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$42 after, vs a raw copy around $9 (est.). Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $190 ten.
