- Market
Pre-launch Celebration ask — logo frame only

Summer sealed hold plus the first sourced 30th Celebration secondary ask — pre-launch chatter, not a live post-rip market. Other games are short notes underneath.
How the market was
Late August adds the first sourced 30th Celebration secondary ask around ~$164.96 (Aug 24) — ask frame only, not a completed post-street cluster. Summer sealed leaders still hold alongside that pre-launch chatter.
Chronology: Celebration live sealed and Mew from ~Sep 16. This Monday stays pre-launch. The Official frame is the 30th logo only — no live Mew rip.
One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Magic stay short editorial notes. Week over week vs Issue 21: Pokémon hold plus the first sourced Celebration ask.
