* A move this large often traces to a single sale or relisting rather than broad demand — treat it as a lead to verify, not a trend.

Heating up

Singles that rose in every snapshot this week — no down days. Streaks are persistence, not spikes.

What stands out

• The 5 largest gains added $2,753.60 combined, against $1,387.91 shed by the 5 largest falls — the big money leaned toward the gainers.
• Legendary Collection appears 3 times among the movers — worth watching as a set, not just a single.
• Plasma Storm appears 2 times among the movers — worth watching as a set, not just a single.
• 4 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.
• Snorlax - 33/95 (Prerelease) [Staff], Lugia EX (Team Plasma) (134 Full Art), Lugia EX (Team Plasma) (134 Full Art), Latias & Latios GX (Alternate Full Art), Mewtwo, Lugia, Dragonite (9), Dark Dragonair are repeat appearances from the previous edition — sustained movement is a stronger signal than a one-day spike.
