What stands out
- The 5 largest gains added $1,493.68 combined, against $693.94 shed by the 5 largest falls — the big money leaned toward the gainers.
- 3 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.
- Lugia EX (Team Plasma) (134 Full Art), Snorlax - 33/95 (Prerelease) [Staff], Lugia, Mew Star (Delta Species) - 2008 (Dylan Lefavour), Dark Slowking, Dragonite (9), Dark Dragonair, Pikachu are repeat appearances from the previous edition — sustained movement is a stronger signal than a one-day spike.
