Card # 142a
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.

Coin flip

Roughly a 51.2% gem rate on this card's own PSA pop. After the $19 grade it's about even with a raw copy — a coin flip that only pays off on a high grade.

🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Trending Up
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile. Liquidity read: 4 recorded sales on file (1 in the last year), trading only a few times a year — a limited-confidence sample. Following the trash: $4 → $14 → $10 → $18 — a clear march higher. Across the trailing window the median has moved +59% ($14 vs $9). Census check: PSA has graded 125 of this card, and only 51.2% 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.
