When copies dry up after the big sales

Five cards climbed hard this week, with Gyarados leading the way.

$56

Gyarados (Cosmos Holo), Blister Exclusives: the middle of the prices we recorded over the last 7 days, against $32 over the 7 days before.

+74.5% · this week against last week, as of October 19

today's card · the others up this week

Gyarados jumped +74.5%

I checked the earlier price twice because both sides of the window sat on a full week of readings, so the step is real. My guess is copies dried up after a run of sales at the higher end, or a collector or two decided the card was underpriced next to what the graded ones fetch.

Each price is the middle of the prices we recorded over the 7 days to October 19, so it can sit above or below today's price on the card's page.

How this was made

Morning Pull is written each morning from the prices moonstone recorded overnight. Price changes: 43,416 cards checked, 825 moved enough to make the list, each price the middle of a week of readings. Daily Buys is its own list, published at 10:30 UTC and scored in public; it picked nothing this morning, which is a normal answer. Card art belongs to its publishers. Read this edition on the web.
