    "Population: every `cards` row in the seventeen English set names listed in the table, 2,669 rows on 2026-09-23. Deduplicating on TCGplayer product id collapses 0 rows here, against 1,212 across the whole catalog and 240 across the English half, so this era contributes none of that debt. 2,659 rows carry an ask; 10 do not and are excluded from every sum and median, included in every card count. Prices are asks from the daily card tape `price_history` on epoch day 20719, 2026-09-23, a complete day carrying 52,378 priced products; the partial days 20704 to 20713 are not used. Population is PRODUCTS, not catalog rows: one row per TCGplayer product id where present, else the catalog id, ties broken to the lexicographically smallest catalog id. Graded figures are SOLD medians from `graded_snapshots`, latest day per card and grade, read across both the catalog-id and the product-id keyspaces and taking the fresher row, then dropping any surviving median dated before day 20695, the first day of the current daily graded tape, and quoted only where the sample is 2 or more. PSA figures are REGISTRY LINES from `population_snapshots`, latest day per key; many products share one line, so no per-set sum of them is printed. Medians are upper-middle on even samples. The set-value series `sethist2:` is not used anywhere in this study, so a /set/ page's own \"Full Set\" figure will not match these sums: that is two instruments, not an error. Release dates come from `api_cache` key `report:spread:setsmeta`, which spells several of these sets differently from the catalog (SM Base Set for Sun & Moon, SM - Team Up for Team Up); the mapping is one to one and is applied by hand in the script. Graded coverage counts a card as carrying a median when its sample is 2 or more, the same bar the card pages use, and any median dated before day 20695, the first day of the current daily graded tape, is dropped as stale: the catalog-id keyspace is never refreshed, so an old row there can survive the fresher-row rule with nothing newer to beat it. That removed 2 rows in this era, a PSA 10 on sm10-199 dated day 20690 and a CGC 9 on sm9-33 dated day 20694, and 0 rows in the Diamond & Pearl era. Gem rates use `gemRateIsTrustworthy()` from @cardapp/core/server and require 50 or more submissions: 914 cards qualify, and a card without a trustworthy row is excluded rather than counted as zero. SHARED-KEY TEST: A recorded sold count above the registry's own count at a grade is NOT an impossibility: `graded_snapshots` counts SALES and `population_snapshots` counts graded COPIES, and a slab that resells is counted twice on one side and once on the other. What the ratio measures is recorded sales per graded copy, and only a large ratio is evidence that the graded key is pooling another product onto this card. The bar applied here is a DECLARED one, 2 recorded sales per graded copy, not a physical limit. A card is also dropped when two or more sales are recorded at a grade and the registry line records no copies at that grade, because the denominator is then unusable and our feed does not distinguish an absent grade breakdown from a real zero. WHAT THE TEST COULD BE RUN ON: 635 of the 2,659 priced cards carry a PSA 10 or PSA 9 sold median at the two-sale bar and all 635 carry a registry row, so the test is evaluable on every one of them and not evaluable on none. Four cards fail it here, named above, and are dropped before any graded figure is computed, leaving a graded population of 2,655 against 2,659 priced cards; a stricter bar of 1 would remove the same four. EXCLUDED BY WAVE BOUNDARY: SM Black Star Promos and the other nine English Black Star Promo families, counted in [are Black Star promos worth anything](/articles/are-black-star-promos-worth-anything); the per-card study of sm9-161 lives in [Magikarp & Wailord GX value](/articles/magikarp-and-wailord-gx-value) and of smp-SM191 in [Mewtwo & Mew GX SM191](/articles/mewtwo-and-mew-gx-sm191-value). LINKS: every set URL above was fetched and its title read back on 2026-09-23. Sun & Moon 404s at /set/ and is linked to its set screen. Related set-level studies with a different gate: [which Pokemon sets are mostly bulk](/articles/pokemon-bulk-cards-by-set), [chase card share of set value](/articles/chase-card-share-of-set-value), [the PSA 10 premium ranked across 90 sets](/articles/psa-10-premium-by-set) and [which set has the most $100 cards](/articles/hundred-dollar-cards-by-set) all require 60 or more priced products and a recorded release date, 129 sets and 18,698 products; every set in this table clears that gate except Detective Pikachu, so this census and those rankings agree on population and differ in that this one is a whole era rather than a rank across sets."
