How the market was

Market check: no change to our 30th Celebration reference prices. With no new completed-sales print, we're holding the Sept. 17 bands (standard Elite Trainer Box about $150–170 vs. $49.99 retail; RGB Mew Red $6–7k / Green about $8k / Blue about $5k). On our tracker, listing asks for the standard ETB eased again to about $154 as of Sunday morning, down from about $161 a week earlier. That's listing tape, not a completed-sales rewrite.

Day movers

  • Pokémon, 30th Celebration ETB (standard): $150–170, unchanged, vs $49.99 retail (ICv2, Sep 17).
  • Pokémon, RGB Mew: Red $6–7k / Green ~$8k / Blue ~$5k, unchanged (ICv2, Sep 17). Asks aren't completed sales.
