Card # 53a
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
Straight from the Garbologist's clipboard: Liquidity read: 12 recorded sales on file (0 in the last year), trading only a few times a year — a moderate-confidence sample. The recent trail reads $16 → $14 → $10 → $18 → $35 — choppy but broadly rangebound. Heads up: the last recorded sale ($35 on 2025-06-23) landed 32% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point. Census check: PSA has graded 331 of this card, and only 12.4% come back a 10 — tough to gem. Net-net, it's holding its ground — steady demand, no fireworks either way.
