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.

Worth grading

About a 8% gem (PSA 10) rate on this set's PSA pop - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected value ~$283 before the $29 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$254 after, vs a raw copy around $59 (est.). Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $215 ten.
