Card # 286a
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 36.8% 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…

Too Thin To Call
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile. Nobody's actually sold this exact card and grade on record in the last year, so there's no live market to read — the price you see is a modeled estimate, not a realized sale. Census check: PSA has graded 57 of this card, and only 36.8% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily. With this few sales, honest answer is we can't call the direction — one auction would swing the whole read.

Automated analysis generated from this card’s real recorded sales and PSA population data — no opinions, no predictions guaranteed. Entertainment and research only, not financial advice.
