How the numbers are worked out
- eBay sold listings in US dollars, English-language cards, ungraded copies only. Graded slabs and Cardmarket sales aren't included.
- Best Offer sales are left out: eBay often shows the original asking price for them, and the accepted offer is hidden.
- Prices are medians, compared month on month for each printing separately, so a reverse holo is never measured against the holo. Sales with no printing recorded count towards sale totals only.
- A card needs at least 10 sales in each month, and a median of at least $5.00 in August 2026, to appear as a gainer or loser.
- Moves above +300% or below −75% are left out, and so are cards whose sale count changed more than 3× or whose prices spread too widely. At that size the cause is usually two different cards sharing one eBay listing page.
- Sale totals rise each month partly because we track more listings, so sets are compared by the median move of their cards.
- Figures are recomputed daily, so a sale recorded late can still shift a number.
