Sealed product carried the ATH list: 151 Ultra-Premium Collection Case at $3569.82, Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundle Display at $1743.54, and five others joined it, alongside older secret rares like Mewtwo GX (Secret Shining) at $809.37. A cluster of blue-chip boxes sits within half a percent of their own highs, including Furious Fists Booster Box at $4717.50 and Surging Sparks Booster Box at $307.93, both -0.5% off. The week's headline gainer, Machamp - 59/108 (Prerelease) [Staff], ran +88.1% over 7 days and +54.1% in a single day, but the move rests on 6 live listings, thin enough that one buyer can write the tape. Three other gainers, Palkia, Holon's Electrode, and Ariados, carry the solo-variant flag: only that specific printing moved while sibling variants sat still, the usual signature of a repricing artifact rather than demand. On the loser side, Lightning Energy (2007-2008 League Promo) lagged the market at -48.5% on a 66-deep book, and the 30th Celebration Tech Sticker cards fell -43.7% and -35.1% on only 3 listings apiece, worth reading as noise, not a trend.
