The ATH list is dominated by vintage sealed product: Generations Elite Trainer Box at $3500.00, Rising Rivals Booster Pack at $999.99, Supreme Victors Booster Pack at $758.33. That's structural scarcity working as intended, not a single-day pop. The gainer board looks noisier. Garchomp (120 Secret Rare) ran $468.00 to $900.00 (+92.3%) on just 6 listings, a thin book by any measure. Pikachu EX - XY174 climbed $31.35 to $55.29 (+76.4%) with 502 listings backing it, a cleaner read. Three solo-variant moves deserve skepticism rather than applause: Unown [K] at +87.8%, Gengar at +82.3%, and Pelipper (24) at +80.6%, each a printing moving alone while its siblings sat still, the usual signature of a repricing artifact rather than real demand. On the loser side, Here Comes Team Rocket! fell to $191.33 (-41.4%) on 14 listings; call it lagging the market, not cratering.
