    "As of `price_history` day 20718, which is 2026-09-22. Universe as in every study in this wave: English catalogue rows with a TCGplayer product id, one row per product id after collapsing 240 duplicates, priced on day 20718, in a set carrying a recorded release date and holding 60 or more such products: 129 sets, 18,698 products. A card counts when its ask is $100.00 or more; 782 do, 4.2% of the universe, and 13 of the 129 sets hold none. Prices are TCGplayer market prices for the flagship printing and are ASKS, not sold prices. The ranking is by count, with ties broken by the higher share of the set ranking first, which is what separates ranks 6 and 7 (both 19) and ranks 9 and 10 (both 17). Ranks 1 to 14 are printed contiguously; the full ordered 129 is in the scratch dump. The stability check, printed in full as the second table, recounts the same fixed list of product ids per set on each of the fifteen COMPLETE daily dumps between day 20695 and day 20719: days 20704 to 20713 are partial catalogue dumps carrying 35,700 to 50,400 rows against roughly 52,000 on a full day, and are excluded for that reason rather than for their values. The rank correlation between age and count is Spearman with tied ranks averaged, over all 129 sets, with age taken from the recorded release date. Five sets in the printed table appear unlinked because no set page renders their own card list. All five, Unseen Forces, Delta Species, Team Rocket Returns, Dragon Frontiers and Dragon, have no page at all. The fifth is Dragon, meaning the 2003 EX-era set, and `/set/dragon` returns 404 when rechecked against production on 2026-09-23, so that row is left unlinked. Scripts: apps/web/scripts/rs-figures.mts and rs-extra.mts; figures in apps/web/.scratch-reddit-sets/figures.json. Nothing here is investment advice."
