Card # 72b
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.

Trending Up
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash. Liquidity read: 48 recorded sales on file (12 in the last year), trading every few months — a high-confidence sample. Its last few sales went $42 → $71 → $64 → $75 → $71 — a clear march higher. Across the trailing window the median has moved +24% ($68 vs $46). Census check: PSA has graded 271 of this card, and only 17.7% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily. Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.

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.
