CARDS IN THIS BRIEF
FULL DESK NOTE →
Eight cards and cases cleared new highs this week, led by Umbreon (H29) at $3850.00, Lucario at $2997.81, and three sealed case products: Temporal Forces Elite Trainer Box Case at $2250.00, Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box Case at $1332.63, Mega Evolution Sleeved Booster Case at $1304.96. Jolteon Star spiked +35.7% in a day to a new high of $2374.50 on depth 14. Deoxys ex (Defense Forme) spiked +51.7% on depth 1187, the one credible one-day move in the batch. On the loser side, the two 30th Celebration Pikachu ex printings fell hard: 109 down -76.0% (depth 131), 107 down -75.9% (depth 132), a correction in a promo run that ran hot, not a floor call. Dragonite ex is down -44.3% on depth 1478, liquid enough to trust.
Movers worth a sentence
- Heracross E4 +124.5%, depth 4, flagged thin book: treat with suspicion.
- Metagross +100.0%, Tentacool +98.7%, Magmar +94.5%, all flagged solo-variant move: only one printing moved while siblings sat still, likely a repricing artifact.
- Zubat -73.2% and Golbat -73.0% (Pokeween 2026), both thin book, depth 5.
