Base Set Charizard (Holofoil) marked a new all-time high at $944.53, one of eight fresh ATH prints today alongside the Black Bolt Elite Trainer Box Case at $1861.30. Sealed product and vintage singles both got new ceilings this cycle, nothing unusual there. On the weekly board, Luxray GL - 2010 (Mychael Bryan) ran +153.0% on 7 listings, and Rocket's Hitmonchan - 9 [Winner] posted +68.8% on both the 7 day and 1 day windows, same card, same window, backed by only 3 live listings, treat that as thin and provisional rather than a trend. Clefable (Prerelease) halved to $499.99 on 11 listings, still liquid enough to matter. Three cards carry a solo-variant flag this week: Pikachu (Holofoil, POP Series 4) up +124.5%, Chansey (Reverse Holofoil, Aquapolis) up +100.0%, and Eevee (48) (Reverse Holofoil, Undaunted) up +98.4%. In each case only one printing moved while siblings held flat, read that as a repricing artifact, not fresh demand.

- Luxray GL - 2010 (Mychael Bryan): +153.0%, depth 7, biggest clean gainer this week.
