What stands out
- The 5 largest gains added $3,539.07 combined, against $750.83 shed by the 5 largest falls — the big money leaned toward the gainers.
- 4 of the moves happened in played grades. Grades move independently (measured correlation ~0), so these say nothing about Near Mint copies of the same singles.
- 1 of the movers came from the Japanese market.
- 5 singles rose without one down day this week — see Heating up below.
- Latias & Latios GX (Alternate Full Art), M Charizard EX (X) (Secret), Mewtwo (Delta Species), Blaine's Charizard, Dark Charizard (4), Pikachu - 58/102 (E3 Stamped with Red Cheeks) are repeat appearances from the previous edition — sustained movement is a stronger signal than a one-day spike.
