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 has been digging through this one's trash.
  • 4 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $33 → $16 → $20 → $18 — a steady drift lower.
  • Median moved -24% across the window ($25 → $19).
  • Census check: PSA has graded 162 of this card, and only 34.6% 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.

Worth grading

About a 35% 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 ~$59 before the $19 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$40 after, vs a raw copy around $7 (est.). Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $130 ten.
