Card # 74a
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
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile. Liquidity read: 4 recorded sales on file (2 in the last year), trading only a few times a year — a limited-confidence sample. Following the trash: $20 → $20 → $10 → $14 — ran up to a peak of $20, then cooled back off. Across the trailing window the median has moved -39% ($12 vs $20). Census check: PSA has graded 203 of this card, and only 16.7% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily. 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.
