Celebration cards are giving back their gains

The 30th Celebration set is taking a week of sharp reversals after a run that had some cards is down 38.7% this week.

Jirachi ex, 30th Celebration, $82 a week ago.

Why is Jirachi ex falling?

I checked the earlier price twice because the drop looked too clean. The earlier median rested on only a handful of daily readings, so a shift in which copies were selling this week-cheaper ones, or just more of them-can move the middle without any single card repricing.

Today's picks

Daily Buys picked Pikachu from SWSH Black Star Promos and Carracosta from Black Bolt, both raw cards. Pikachu is hard to gem and people want the species; Carracosta is just hard to gem. My guess is both are sitting on thin supply.
