CARDS IN THIS BRIEF
FULL DESK NOTE →
Eight products hit new all-time highs this window, led by Red & Blue Collection [Pikachu EX] at $2995.99 and XY Evolutions Booster Box at $2529.91. Furious Fists Booster Box sits -0.5% off its own high at $4717.50. The 7d gainers list is stacked with EX-era holos, most of it thin: Rayquaza reverse holo +88.0% on 27 listings, Ultra Ball (Plasma Freeze) +71.6% on just 6. One gainer has real weight behind it: Deoxys ex (Attack Forme) up +66.7% to $300.00 on 589 listings, deep enough to take seriously. On the other side, Charizard (EX Dragon) dropped -33.8% to $489.99 on 691 listings, which reads as a genuine repricing rather than noise, though a drop is a report, not a forecast. Solo watch flags three moves worth treating as artifacts, not signal, since only the named printing moved while siblings sat still. Asako Ito continues to carry a 10.15x premium across 35 cards, the widest of any artist tracked.
Movers worth a sentence
- Charizard, EX Dragon Holofoil: -33.8% to $489.99, depth 691. Real book, real drop.
- Deoxys ex (Attack Forme), EX Deoxys: +66.7% to $300.00, depth 589. Rare case of a big gain with actual liquidity behind it.
- Ultra Ball, Plasma Freeze: +71.6% to $1199.51, depth 6. Thin book, treat the print as noisy.
- Raichu (Delta Species), Deoxys (Delta Species), Scizor: all flagged solo-variant move, meaning only that printing jumped while related versions held still. Looks like repricing, not demand.
