Card # 45b
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…

Steady
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash. Liquidity read: 30 recorded sales on file (9 in the last year), trading every few months — a high-confidence sample. Its last few sales went $31 → $20 → $35 → $22 → $20 — choppy but broadly rangebound. Census check: PSA has graded 136 of this card, and only 13.2% come back a 10 — tough to gem. 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.
