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…

Cooling Off
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
  • 4 recorded sales · 0 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • Following the trash: $447 → $470 → $256 → $400 — a steady drift lower.
  • Median moved -28% across the window ($458 → $328).
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($400 on 2025-02-23) landed 25% below our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 185 of this card, and only 8.1% come back a 10 — tough to gem.
  • Net-net, the heat is coming off — recent sales are softening. Could be a breather, could be a top; the trash doesn't say which.

Worth grading

About a 8% gem (PSA 10) rate on this card's own PSA pop - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected value ~$103 before the $49 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$54 after, vs a raw copy around $10 (est.). Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $534 ten.
