Knocking on the door. Five cards sit -0.5% off their own highs: Unified Minds Single Pack Blister [Sudowoodo] at $99.49 against a $99.99 peak, Sabrina's Gengar at $600.87 against $603.90, Rocket's Scyther at $85.01 against $85.44, Feraligatr (Delta Species) at $68.95 against $69.30, Erika's Clefable at $81.39 against $81.82. None of these needed a headline to get here, they just kept climbing quietly.

Movers down, 7 day. The Mega Evolution promo line took the week's worst of it. Miraidon - 082 [Staff] fell $28.67 to $17.71, -38.2%, on 15 listings. Moltres - XY127 (Prerelease) [Staff] fell $250.00 to $158.34, -36.7%, on 7 listings. Empoleon - BW56 fell $18.37 to $11.75, -36.0%, on 38 listings.

Unown (O) fell $34.61 to $25.95, -25.0%, on 304 listings. Reports, not warnings. These cards lagged the market this week, that's the whole story.

One day spikes. Lunala GX - SM103 jumped $10.39 to $19.99, +92.4%, on 29 listings. Venusaur (Secret Wonders) shows up again, $5.74 to $9.43, +64.3%. Pikachu from Base Set jumped $7.45 to $11.00, +47.7%, on 3336 listings, easily the deepest book in the entire dataset today. Mew V - 113/264 jumped $69.24 to $92.02, +32.9%. Empoleon V - 040/163 jumped $35.73 to $43.77, +22.5%.

Solo variant watch. Three reverse holo moves flagged as solo-variant, meaning only that single printing moved while its siblings sat still, a signature of repricing rather than genuine demand. Muk (Team Plasma) reverse holo went $14.41 to $32.08, +122.6%, on 17 listings. Voltorb reverse holo went $25.00 to $49.95, +99.8%, on 5 listings. Weedle reverse holo went $11.36 to $22.68, +99.6%, on 4 listings. Treat these as one listing repricing a thin shelf, not a trend.

Artist premiums. Hot: Asako Ito commands an 11.80x premium across 35 cards, well clear of Keiko Fukuyama at 3.36x (20 cards), Susumu Maeya at 2.79x (10 cards), Kazuaki Aihara at 2.17x (12 cards), and Yuka Morii at 2.07x across a much larger 195-card sample. Cold: "Big Mama" Tagawa trades at 0.26x across 16 cards, Milky Isobe at 0.27x across 22, Kazuo Yazawa at 0.50x across 9, Takumi Akabane at 0.52x across 50, Shin-ichi Yoshikawa at 0.54x across 50.

Scoreboard. Monthly mint alerts hit 21% at 7 days (18 of 84) for an average return of +1.8%. Seven-day gainers hit 23% at 7 days (19 of 84, +0.1% average) but improve to 39% at 30 days (9 of 23, +4.9% average). Seven-day losers hit 50% at 7 days (51 of 103, -8.8% average) and 38% at 30 days (8 of 21, +6.5% average), a reminder that the loser list flips more often than the gainer list over a longer window.
