Anniversary spikes up top. Spoilers and dumps underneath.

Sep 17, 2026 · Pokémon-first edition

Pokémon led the week on 30th Celebration. Standard ETBs (MSRP $49.99) cleared roughly $150–$170 in completed sales — thin outliers ran higher, so don’t read the ceiling as the market — while RGB Mew chase copies still printed in the multi-thousands and kept settling as rip volume hit. Underneath: One Piece OP-17 split chase cooling from role players heating, and Dragon Ball FB11 kept SCR chatter loud in JP.

Coverage order stays Pokémon → One Piece → Dragon Ball → Magic. Other games appear in the newsletter first; live market rows ship only when a real feed is wired.

Liquidity is the whole point of the ranker. Percent change without volume is a screenshot. We show both, and we sort on the product of the two so thin spikes fall down the page.
