Card # 170a
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 41.7% 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…

Steady
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile. Liquidity read: 21 recorded sales on file (9 in the last year), trading only a few times a year — a moderate-confidence sample. Following the trash: $22 → $40 → $53 → $30 → $50 — choppy but broadly rangebound. Census check: PSA has graded 115 of this card, and only 41.7% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily. Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.

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.
