Mid-August Pokémon sealed hold with depth

Pokémon hold. Magic spoiler heat is unproven this week — Kasmina-style preview noise belongs mid-September (prerelease Sep 25), not as a settled band here.

How the market was

Mid-August stays Pokémon-led on sealed depth. The hold continues without a new dollar print on this Monday.

Magic Kasmina is unproven on Issue 21 — spoilers mid-Sep; prerelease Sep 25. Editorial only. No Official calendar art, so the Magic slots stay empty. Do not invent Magic price comps.

Week over week vs Issue 20: Pokémon hold; Magic replaces FB11 as the unproven note. No Celebration.

Note

Magic Kasmina is unproven — no Official preview art, so both Magic image slots stay empty. No Kasmina dollar band. No Celebration set.
