Card # 495a
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 53.1% 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 has been digging through this one's trash. Liquidity read: 5 recorded sales on file (2 in the last year), trading only a few times a year — a limited-confidence sample. The recent trail reads $18 → $8 → $8 → $17 → $26 — a clear march higher. Across the trailing window the median has moved +35% ($17 vs $13). Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.
