What stands out
- The 5 largest gains added $1,100.97 combined, against $1,024.21 shed by the 5 largest falls — the two sides roughly balanced.
- Neo Destiny appears 2 times among the movers — worth watching as a set, not just a single.
- 2 of the moves happened in played grades. Grades move independently (measured correlation ~0), so these say nothing about Near Mint copies of the same singles.
- 5 singles rose without one down day this week — see Heating up below.
- Rayquaza ex, Lugia EX (Team Plasma) (134 Full Art), Pikachu, Psyduck, Shining Tyranitar, Blastoise (4), Shining Celebi, Dark Charizard (4) are repeat appearances from the previous edition — sustained movement is a stronger signal than a one-day spike.
