Card # 478a
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 is moderate here — 9 recorded sales in the last year, 9 over the past year changing hands. Prices have been broadly flat lately — no real drift up or down beyond the usual auction noise. Biggest recent haul: $25 on 2026-02-19. Heads up: the last recorded sale ($7 on 2026-02-21) landed 48% below our current value — one sale, so weigh it accordingly. 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.
