Eight products, mostly booster boxes and ETB cases spanning SWSH and SV plus a shadowless Blastoise, printed new all-time highs this window. That's the story: collateral is sealed, not loose. On the card side, Arceus Lv.X (95) up +80.3% on 268 listings is the one gainer with real depth behind it. Machamp - 59/108 (Prerelease) [Staff] up +88.1% and Rocket's Entei ex up +64.8% moved on 3 and 15 listings respectively, thin book by any definition. Losers skew toward bulk promos and holos; nothing here suggests continued decline, just a market that lagged. The solo watch trio, Palkia up +150.3%, Infernape up +142.1%, and Torchic (15) up +138.5%, all carry a solo-variant flag: only the reverse holo printing moved while the rest of the set sat still, which reads like a repricing artifact, not demand.
Worth a sentence
- Rayquaza & Deoxys Legend (Bottom): +81.2% on 24 listings, more legitimate than most gainers this week.
- Lightning Energy (2007-2008 League Promo): -48.5% on 66 listings, lagged the market, nothing more.
- Sigilyph: -25.0% on 10 listings, thin book on the way down too.
