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.

🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Trending Up
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash. Liquidity read: 36 recorded sales on file (6 in the last year), trading every few months — a high-confidence sample. Its last few sales went $1,513 → $1,375 → $1,500 → $2,500 → $1,875 — a clear march higher. Across the trailing window the median has moved +87% ($1,506 vs $805). Net-net, the momentum points up — real buyers are paying more, more often. Not a promise, just what the garbage is telling us.

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.
