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…

Trending Up
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard:
  • 7 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $14 → $36 → $14 → $38 → $24 — a clear march higher.
  • Median moved +55% across the window ($20 → $30).
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($24 on 2025-10-25) landed 52% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 50 of this card, and only 18.0% 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.

Worth grading

About a 18% 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 ~$85 before the $29 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$56 after, vs a raw copy around $8 (est.). Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $311 ten.
