Yu-Gi-Oh's new Forbidden & Limited List is live today: 34 cards banned
Konami's Oct 19 Forbidden & Limited List takes effect today after five reveals at YCS Houston: 34 newly Forbidden cards, 8 newly Limited and 1 newly Semi-Limited. The final reveal on Sunday banned Elfnote Tinia, Azamina Ilia Silvia, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi, Varudras, the Final Bringer of the End Times, Crossout Designator and Triple Tactics Talent, moved Branded in High Spirits to Limited, and Sky Striker Mobilize – Engage! to Semi-Limited. Part 4 earlier Sunday banned Magicians' Souls, Spell Canceller, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, F.A. Dawn Dragster, Naturia Beast, Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir and Number 60: Dugares the Timeless, and Limited Griffoh and Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max. Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon is on the Limited list but hasn't been released in the TCG yet. Correction: Toon Bookmark is also newly Limited (Konami, Part 3), so Sunday's count should have read 5 of the 8 Limited changes. The Part 3 Forbidden card is Saryuja Skull Dread.

PSA customers say graded orders were stolen in a FedEx vehicle burglary
PSA customers say graded orders were stolen after a FedEx vehicle carrying PSA orders was burglarized after leaving PSA's Southern California facility, Heavy reports. An email from PSA, shared by collector SKY-B, says PSA deactivated the affected cert numbers, notified auction partners and selling platforms, is working with FedEx and law enforcement, and will compensate customers at fair market value up to each item's Maximum Insured Value, with more details next week. SKY-B says a 104-card submission worth more than $100,000 was taken. The total number of cards and their value haven't been made public. If you have a PSA order in transit, check your email and your cert numbers.

Southern Islands promos bring $972K at Fanatics; Mew PSA 10 falls short of last week's record
Three PSA 10 Southern Islands promos sold for a combined $972,000 through Fanatics Collect, ComicBook.com reports. Mew led at $660,000 after 33 bids, about $180,000 under the $840,000 record set in the previous Fanatics auction a week earlier. Togepi set a new record at $192,000 (previous $168,000) and Slowking added $120,000, also a record per the report. A record-holder card selling about 21% under its own week-old record is a useful counterpoint to the run of record vintage sales.

Worth watching
- Official: Riftbound: Riftbound: Radiance releases Friday, Oct. 23; Pre-Rifts run through Oct. 22.
- Official: Riftbound: Riot is testing start-of-game changes at select events (not premier tournaments) because going first wins too often. Turn order is decided before battlefields, and the second player gets one extra perk on top of three Runes: start at 1 point, draw an extra card, or predict before the first draw. Riot says this is not a rules update yet.
- Reported: Pokémon: Luc Gantner (Switzerland) won TCG Masters at the Nice Regional Championships (Oct. 17–18), going 15-1-2 in a 2,336-player field; Maxime Launay finished 2nd.
- Official: One Piece: EB-05 Heroines Edition vol. 2 releases Oct. 30 at $4.99 per pack; OP-18 follows Nov. 20 in English.
