How we counted
- Top card = the highest priced Near Mint, English, holofoil card in each main set this week. 30th Celebration is left out because it is a special set.
- This week is the median of daily market prices from Nov 1 to Nov 5, 2026, in US dollars.
- Our history for these cards starts in Dec 2025 and was monthly before summer 2026, so the real launch peaks may have been higher. Greninja and Darkrai peaked on presale, before release.
