Thin spikes get demoted. Pitch Black boxes, Ascended Heroes ETBs, and post-EN One Piece boxes — read the book depth. Percent move alone isn’t the story.
How the market was
Month-end liquidity filter. Pitch Black booster boxes about ~$179–190. Ascended Heroes ETBs about ~$168.
One Piece OP-17 boxes about ~$350 post-EN (Aug 28) — a One Piece editorial row with a liquidity note, not a Pokémon price row.
Week over week vs Issue 22: Celebration ask week → liquidity filter on summer sealed plus OP boxes. Demote thin spikes. Percent move alone isn’t the story.
