Card # 8a
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.

Trending Up
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
- 5 recorded sales · 1 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
- Following the trash: $1,700 → $5,000 → $5,500 → $30,200 → $5,100 — a clear march higher.
- Median moved +64% across the window ($5,500 → $3,350).
- Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.
