Gainers, 7 Day

Zapdos ex led the board, $149.00 to $269.97, +81.2%, on 8 listings of depth. Flygon reverse holo ran $20.58 to $35.68, +73.4%, 24 deep. Pikachu (Baby) moved $56.34 to $95.00, +68.6%, no depth reading. Swampert ex - 2004 (Reed Weichler) $9.86 to $16.57, +68.1%, 7 deep. Cherrim $54.32 to $89.99, +65.7%, 16 deep. Wurmple reverse holo $9.47 to $14.98, +58.2%, 16 deep. Milotic (Delta Species) reverse holo $96.50 to $149.90, +55.3%, 35 deep. Marowak - 78/162 (Pokemon League) [4th Place] $21.95 to $33.65, +53.3%, 4 deep. Nidoqueen - 2005 (Jeremy Maron) $8.49 to $12.99, +53.0%, 9 deep.

Half this list clears on single digit listing counts. A move backed by 4 to 8 open orders is cheap to push and cheap to unwind.

Losers, 7 Day

Primarina - 020/084 (What's Your Favorite Stamp) gave back the most, $30.00 to $9.91, -67.0%, on 43 listings. Haunter fell $5.20 to $2.51, -51.7%, but on 2300 listings deep, this reads as a commodity base set card settling to a lower level rather than a signal. Venusaur ex $501.00 to $276.99, -44.7%, 59 deep.

The Pitch Black promo run cooled as a set: Delphox - 074 -44.5% to $7.90 on 43 listings, Mega Darkrai ex - 120/084 -42.9% to $196.33 on 695 listings, Mega Zeraora ex - 114/084 -38.2% to $72.37 on 367 listings, Lurantis ex - 096/084 -36.7% to $3.21 on 783 listings. Medicham ex -39.0% to $46.37 on 15 listings. Leafeon ex - 006/131 -36.1% to $4.19 on 986 listings. Zarude (What's Your Favorite Stamp) -34.0% to $32.99 on 19 listings.

These are reports on what lagged the market this week, nothing more.

One Day Spikes

Pikachu (Baby) repeats here, +68.6% in a single session, depth unreported. Jungle Theme Deck - "Water Blast" $299.95 to $399.97, +33.3%, depth unreported. Aggron - 80/124 (Cosmos Holo) $18.81 to $24.96, +32.7%, depth unreported. Dark Dragonite - 15/109 (EX Team Rocket Returns) $125.49 to $165.39, +31.8%, depth unreported. Pokemon - Poke Ball Tin - Lure Ball $106.63 to $137.50, +29.0%, depth unreported. None of these list a listing count backing the move.

Solo Variant Watch

Three moves this week carry a solo-variant flag, meaning only the listed printing moved while its sibling variants held still, the usual signature of a repricing artifact rather than real demand. Staryu - 085/113 reverse holo +102.8% to $16.22 on 130 listings. Voltorb reverse holo +100.0% to $20.00 on 24 listings. Eevee reverse holo +94.4% to $349.99 on 4 listings. Treat all three as noise until a sibling printing in the same set confirms the move.

Artists

Asako Ito prints carry a 9.64x premium across 35 cards, the widest gap on the board. Keiko Fukuyama sits at 3.27x (20 cards), Susumu Maeya at 2.35x (10 cards), Kazuaki Aihara at 2.10x (12 cards), Yuka Morii at 2.07x across a much larger 199 card pool.

On the cold side: Milky Isobe trades at 0.26x across 23 cards, "Big Mama" Tagawa at 0.28x (17 cards), Kazuo Yazawa at 0.48x (9 cards), Takumi Akabane at 0.54x (52 cards), Shin-ichi Yoshikawa at 0.56x (50 cards).
