Best Pokemon Card Deals in Singapore (19 October 2026)

Where Are the Best Pokemon Card Deals in Singapore This Week?

Week of 19 October 2026 — 94 cards clear every guard, and a returning price feed finally makes the expensive half of the market readable

A Japanese Black Bolt Pidove #153 is listed at S$8 in a Singapore Telegram trading group this week. Its rebuilt book value is S$21.25. KyoCards has the same card at S$10.54 and Yuyutei at S$13.32 — three separate live feeds, none of them older than a week, all of them below book, and the cheapest of them 62% under. That is the best clean deal on this week's board, and unusually for this column, nothing about it requires you to take our word for it.

The bigger news is structural, and it changes what we can honestly say about Singapore Pokemon cards at the expensive end of the market. For five weeks KyoCards' price feed sat frozen at 5 September, which meant the over-S$50 half of our platform scorecard was built almost entirely on one retailer and could not be trusted. KyoCards came back. Its median listing is now seven days old. With a second current feed on expensive cards, the single most useful finding in this report is finally measurable rather than suspected: Yuyutei, the cheapest place in Singapore to buy an everyday Japanese single, is the most expensive place to buy a chase card, by a margin that should change how you shop.

This Week's Highlights

- Best deal: Pidove #153 (Japanese Black Bolt) at S$8 in a Telegram trading group — 62% below its rebuilt S$21.25 book, with KyoCards at S$10.54 and Yuyutei at S$13.32 corroborating. Every quoted price is under eight days old.
- Best high-value deal: Mega Greninja Ex #120 (Ninja Spinner) at S$448.20 on Yuyutei — 24% below its S$593.61 book, with KyoCards at S$483.72. One of the few chase cards where Yuyutei is not the expensive option.
- The board: 94 cards clear every guard. Median saving 30%, median book value S$28.04, range 20–67%. Yuyutei holds the cheapest live price on 74 of them.
- The finding that should change your habits: below S$50, Yuyutei runs 23.6% under book. Above S$200, it runs 82% over — and it is above book on 93% of chase cards. KyoCards undercuts it by more than half on the worst examples.
- 30th Celebration is now readable and the split is brutal: KyoCards prices it at a median 38% below book, Carousell at a median 55% above. Same set, same week, same city.
- Cards analysed: 21,597 tracked, 18,358 with a verified same-day book value, 1,901 carrying two or more live platform listings, 94 surviving every guard, and 37 priced entirely on listings 14 days old or newer.

Scope: Week of 19 October 2026 · tcgTalk Singapore Market Mapper, comparison set generated 17 October 2026 · baseline = PriceCharting loose price from the 17 October snapshot at S$1.28/USD (derived, not assumed — see below) · all prices SGD · lowest live price per platform · cards with fewer than two confirmed PriceCharting sales excluded · sets released in the last 30 days excluded · CardMarket and pokecompare.com excluded (reasons below) · listings outside a 0.25×–4× band around book excluded as variant mismatches.

Platform Feed Health: Check This Before You Trust Any Ranking

A price ranking built on stale listings is not a ranking. If you want to know the real Pokemon card prices Singapore collectors are paying, the first question is not which platform is cheapest — it is which platform's numbers are from this month. Before any table in this report, here is how old each platform's data actually is.

Platform	Live listings	Median age	Newest row	Share under 30d	Verdict
Telegram Groups	176	0 days	17 Oct 2026	99%	Current
Yuyutei	16,600	1 day	16 Oct 2026	100%	Current
KyoCards	5,769	7 days	10 Oct 2026	54%	Current again
CardMarket	252	21 days	26 Sep 2026	92%	Excluded — broken join
Carousell	937	26 days	16 Oct 2026	55%	Scraping, but backlogged
pokecompare.com	74	38 days	9 Sep 2026	0%	Excluded — sealed only
SNKRDUNK	0	—	none	—	Dark
TCGPlayer	0	—	none	—	Dark
Facebook	0	—	none	—	Dark

KyoCards is back, and it matters more than it sounds. In our 5 October edition its median listing was 61 days old and its newest price was from 5 September. It now has 5,769 live rows with a seven-day median. KyoCards is the only current feed we have that is a Singapore shop rather than a Japanese retailer or a community group, and it is the only current feed with real depth above S$50. Every comparison in this report that involves an expensive card exists because that feed came back.

Three of the seven platforms we claim to track still have zero live rows. SNKRDUNK, TCGPlayer and Facebook contribute nothing — not stale rows, none. SNKRDUNK's listings were already 88 days old in the 5 October edition and have now vanished from the comparison set entirely; TCGPlayer has returned nothing since 21 September. We are not going to keep listing platforms as "tracked" while they return nothing; if these three do not return by November we will drop them from the stated platform set and say so.

Carousell is scraping but backlogged. Its newest row is from yesterday, yet its median listing is 26 days old and only 55% of its rows are under a month. That pattern means the scraper is running but working through a queue rather than refreshing the whole catalogue. Treat a Carousell price in this report as a real ask that may already be gone. Every Carousell figure below carries its age.

The Platform Scorecard: Who Is Actually Cheapest?

Median deviation from the rebuilt PriceCharting baseline, per platform, on cards with a book value of S$5 or more. Negative means below book. These medians are not directly comparable to editions before 19 October — the mismatch guard became two-sided this week (explained below), which moves every platform's median somewhat and Yuyutei's most of all. Week-over-week direction is readable; the levels are a new basis.

Platform	Listings scored	Median vs book	Share below book	Q1	Q3	Data age
Telegram Groups	89	−25%	78%	−44%	−2%	0d
Yuyutei	3,407	−18%	66%	−38%	+20%	1d
KyoCards	1,633	−10%	63%	−32%	+10%	7d
Carousell	638	+12%	33%	−6%	+46%	23d

Telegram trading groups are again the cheapest source in Singapore, and it is not close — 78% of community asks sit below book, with a quartile of them more than 44% under. The catch is volume: 89 scored listings against Yuyutei's 3,407. You cannot shop a want-list in a Telegram group. You can get a bargain on whatever happens to be posted.

Carousell is the only platform above book at the median. That is not a scraping artefact — it is the local marketplace premium that every Singapore collector already suspects. A third of Carousell asks are below book; two thirds are above, and the top quartile sits 46% over.

The Value-Tier Flip

This is the part worth internalising. Re-run the same scorecard at higher book values and the ordering inverts.

Platform	Book S$5+	Book S$50+	Book S$200+
Yuyutei	−18%	+38%	+82%
KyoCards	−10%	+9%	+10%
Carousell	+12%	+11%	+5%

Yuyutei swings 100 percentage points across the price range on the same retailer in the same week. On everyday singles it is 18% under book. On cards over S$200 it is 82% over, and it is above book on 93% of the 136 chase cards where it has a live price.

With KyoCards' feed back, we can now show that this is Yuyutei's pricing rather than a measurement problem, because a second current feed disagrees with it card by card:

Card	Book	Yuyutei	Cheaper alternative	Gap
Primal Groudon EX #94 (Bandit Ring)	S$259.81	S$808.20 (+211%)	KyoCards S$285	2.8×
Primal Kyogre EX #93 (Bandit Ring)	S$308.77	S$808.20 (+162%)	KyoCards S$280	2.9×
Team Magma's Groudon EX #15 (Double Crisis)	S$422.40	S$1,152 (+173%)	KyoCards S$1,000	1.2×
Mewtwo & Mew GX #98 (Miracle Twins)	S$755.20	S$1,782 (+136%)	KyoCards S$1,500	1.2×
Gengar VMax #20 (Gengar VMAX High-Class)	S$1,136	S$2,682 (+136%)	Carousell S$1,150	2.3×
Blastoise & Piplup GX #70 (Remix Bout)	S$223.04	S$448.20 (+101%)	KyoCards S$280	1.6×
Zekrom ex #174 (Black Bolt)	S$322.55	S$628.20 (+95%)	Carousell S$408	1.5×

Primal Groudon EX at S$808.20 on Yuyutei against S$285 at KyoCards is a 2.8× spread on a card both have in stock. This is the single most expensive habit a Singapore collector can have: defaulting to the Japanese retailer that genuinely is cheapest on S$20 cards, and carrying that habit into a S$300 purchase.

Why it happens. Yuyutei prices in yen tiers and its chase-card asks reflect Japanese domestic scarcity pricing, which for older EX-era cards runs far above the US-dollar sales that set PriceCharting's book. On commons and mid-tier singles the same tiered pricing lands well under Western book. It is one pricing policy producing opposite outcomes at opposite ends of the price range.

Last week we could not publish this table. With KyoCards frozen, the over-S$50 scorecard was Yuyutei plus a handful of stale Carousell rows, and the honest thing to say was that it was directional at best. That caveat is withdrawn — this tier now has two current feeds and the comparison stands.

30th Celebration: The First Honest Read

30th Celebration released on 16 September and cleared our 30-day exclusion window on 16 October. We flagged two weeks ago that we expected local sellers to come in meaningfully over market once it became measurable. That is exactly what happened, and the size of the gap is larger than we predicted.

Platform	Listings scored	Median vs book	Share above book
KyoCards	214	−38%	23%
Carousell	82	+55%	80%

A 93-point spread on one set. Card by card:

Card	Book	KyoCards	Carousell	Buy from
Dark Tyranitar #144	S$24.67	S$20 (−19%, 7d)	S$70 (+184%, 31d)	KyoCards
Scizor ex #145	S$9.34	S$6.32 (−32%, 7d)	S$15 (+61%, 13d)	KyoCards
Lapras #106	S$8.87	S$3.88 (−56%, 7d)	S$6.50 (−27%, 10d)	KyoCards
Galarian Meowth #117	S$6.99	S$3.40 (−51%, 7d)	S$6.50 (−7%, 20d)	KyoCards
Uxie #148	S$7.96	S$4.04 (−49%, 7d)	S$6.50 (−18%, 21d)	KyoCards
Salamence ex #133	S$17.92	S$10 (−44%, 7d)	S$14 (−22%, 10d)	KyoCards
Ditto #121	S$8.95	S$4.50 (−50%, 7d)	S$6 (−33%, 1d)	KyoCards
Pikachu & Zekrom Tag Team GX #160	S$38.35	S$30 (−22%, 7d)	S$35 (−9%, 13d)	KyoCards
Mew ex #135	S$107.96	S$140 (+30%, 7d)	S$170 (+57%, 22d)	Neither
Charizard #137	S$226.88	S$250 (+10%, 7d)	S$225 (−1%, 3d)	Carousell

KyoCards is cheaper on eight of ten. Dark Tyranitar at S$20 versus S$70 is a 3.5× spread on a card from a set that is four weeks old — the Carousell ask is a collector who has not checked a shop price, and at 31 days old it may not even be live.

Note the two exceptions, because they matter. The two most expensive cards in the set break the pattern: Mew ex #135 is over book on both platforms, and Charizard #137 is the one card where Carousell is cheapest and effectively at book. The chase cards in a new set are the ones with real local price discovery. The bulk is where the mispricing lives.

Top Deals This Week

Every price in this section is 14 days old or newer on every platform quoted — 37 of the 94 board cards meet that bar, and these are the best of them. Nothing here depends on a two-month-old corroborating ask.

1. Pidove #153 (Japanese Black Bolt) — 62% off

Platform	Price	vs book	Age
Telegram Groups	S$8	−62%	0d
KyoCards	S$10.54	−50%	7d
Yuyutei	S$13.32	−37%	1d

Book S$21.25, 153 confirmed sales. Three current feeds, all below book, which is the strongest corroboration on the board. Even the dearest of the three is 37% under. When every independent source agrees the card is cheaper than book, the deal is in the book being a US-dollar reference — but at S$8 against a S$10.54 retail floor, the Telegram ask still undercuts the cheapest shop price by 24%.

Verdict: Buy. Confirm condition in-hand; Black Bolt commons ship raw and corners matter.

2. Weavile #746 (Start Deck 100 Battle Collection) — 55% off

Platform	Price	vs book	Age
Yuyutei	S$13.32	−55%	1d
KyoCards	S$15	−49%	7d

Book S$29.59. Both current feeds land near half of book, 13% apart from each other. Two independent sources agreeing that closely, that far under book, is the signature of a book value that is high rather than a bargain — but either price is a fair buy.

Verdict: Buy from whichever saves you shipping. At a S$1.68 difference, a KyoCards pickup beats a Yuyutei order with freight.

3. Carbink #752 (Start Deck 100 Battle Collection) — 55% off

Platform	Price	vs book	Age
Yuyutei	S$11.52	−55%	1d
KyoCards	S$24	−6%	7d

Book S$25.63. Here the two feeds disagree — KyoCards is essentially at book while Yuyutei is at 45% of it. A 2.1× spread between two current retail feeds on the same card is a real arbitrage, not a book-value artefact.

Verdict: Buy on Yuyutei. This is the clearest Japan-versus-Singapore retail gap on the board.

4. Turtwig #206 (VSTAR Universe) — 48% off

Platform	Price	vs book	Age
KyoCards	S$12	−48%	7d
Yuyutei	S$17.82	−23%	1d

Book S$23.12. One of the few cards where the Singapore shop beats the Japanese retailer outright, and by 33%. VSTAR Universe is a deep set that local shops hold in quantity, so a KyoCards price here is a genuine floor rather than a single listing.

Verdict: Buy local. No shipping, no wait, and cheaper.

5. Mega Dragalge Ex #116 (Ninja Spinner) — 46% off

Platform	Price	vs book	Age
Yuyutei	S$11.52	−46%	1d
KyoCards	S$16.88	−21%	7d

Book S$21.31, and 678 confirmed sales — one of the most liquid cards on the board. High sales volume means the book value here is better-supported than most, which makes a 46% discount more meaningful than the same percentage on a thin card.

Verdict: Buy. The liquidity cuts both ways: easy to buy, easy to sell on.

6. Dwebble #135 (Japanese Black Bolt) — 43% off

Platform	Price	vs book	Age
KyoCards	S$15.93	−43%	7d
Yuyutei	S$17.82	−37%	1d

Book S$28.15. Black Bolt appears five times on this week's board (Pidove, Audino, Dwebble, Solosis and Seismitoad), more than any set bar PokeKyun Collection and VSTAR Universe. The set is a year old, liquid, and consistently priced below Western book across both current retailers.

Verdict: Buy. Consider both Black Bolt commons in one order to split freight.

7. Maushold #81 (Clay Burst) — 35% off

Platform	Price	vs book	Age
Yuyutei	S$26.82	−35%	1d
KyoCards	S$32.80	−20%	7d

Book S$40.95, 543 sales. Both feeds under book, both current, a 22% spread between them.

Verdict: Buy on Yuyutei if you are already ordering; the gap does not justify freight on its own.

8. Sylveon V #231 (VMAX Climax) — 31% off

Platform	Price	vs book	Age
Yuyutei	S$44.82	−31%	1d
KyoCards	S$50	−23%	7d

Book S$65.31. The most expensive card on the board where both current feeds sit comfortably below book — the sweet spot where Yuyutei has not yet flipped to its chase-card premium.

Verdict: Buy. Eeveelution V-era alt arts have a persistent local following; S$44.82 is the lowest verified ask we have seen on this card.

9. Mega Greninja Ex #120 (Ninja Spinner) — 24% off

Platform	Price	vs book	Age
Yuyutei	S$448.20	−24%	1d
KyoCards	S$483.72	−19%	7d

Book S$593.61, 199 sales. The best high-value deal on the board, and a genuine exception to everything said above about Yuyutei and chase cards. Ninja Spinner is a 2026 set, so Yuyutei is pricing it against current Japanese supply rather than domestic scarcity — and both current feeds agree within 8%.

Verdict: Buy, with care. Two independent current feeds inside 8% of each other at a quarter under book is as reliable as this dataset gets. At S$448 verify condition and seller before transferring.

10. Gardevoir EX #101 (Scarlet Ex) — 23% off

Platform	Price	vs book	Age
Telegram Groups	S$182	−23%	0d
Yuyutei	S$223.20	−5%	1d

Book S$235.62, 158 sales. A today-fresh community ask 18% under the Japanese retail price on a S$235 card. Note this is a S$200+ card where Yuyutei is below book — Scarlet Ex is recent enough to escape the domestic-scarcity premium.

Verdict: Buy if the seller checks out. At this value, meet in person. Telegram group deals at S$180+ are where Singapore collectors get burned most often.

Where the board clusters

Two sets account for 15 of the 94 cards, and both are Yuyutei-driven:

- PokeKyun Collection (9 cards). Yuyutei's median across all 32 scored cards from this 2016 promo set is 43% below book. We flagged this two weeks ago as possibly a one-week anomaly; it is not. This is a durable, structural gap between Japanese domestic pricing and Western book on a set that never had a Western print run.
- Start Deck 100 Battle Collection (6 cards). Same mechanism — a Japan-only product whose book value is set by thin US sales.

If you collect either set, Yuyutei is simply where you buy, and the "discount" is really a measurement of how badly US-dollar book prices describe a Japan-only product.

By price tier, the board is heavily weighted to the cheap end: 52 cards book between S$20 and S$30, 23 between S$30 and S$50, 15 between S$50 and S$100, three between S$100 and S$250, and one above S$250. The median saving is close to 30% in every tier, so there is no tier where the discounts are systematically better — only tiers where there is more to choose from.

Why We Rebuild Every Baseline

Every discount above is measured against a book value, so be clear about what that book value is and is not.

We do not use the baseline our own API returns. The `pricecharting_cache` table behind it is refreshed only for rows imported from the daily CSV. The other 63,463 rows — 67.2% of the cache — are frozen at 29 January 2026. Re-running the comparison cron does not fix them. A deals post built on that cache has already published a wrong headline once, in the 31 August edition, where a card shown as "31% off" was actually 83% over book.

So every baseline in this report is rebuilt from the 17 October PriceCharting snapshot, joined on PriceCharting's own card id, at `loose-price × FX`.

The FX rate is derived, not assumed. Of the 28,679 cache rows that are current, 20,463 carry both a USD and an SGD baseline; we take the median of `baselinepricesgd / baselinepriceusd` across those. It came out at 1.28 exactly. We do not use the vendor SGD columns in the CSV, which bake in a roughly 1.37 vendor markup and are not an exchange rate.

Book value is a US-dollar reference, not a Singapore market price. Across the 1,193 cards carrying two or more live platform listings, the cross-platform consensus sits 19% below book. On 65 of them, every platform agrees at less than half of book. When two independent platforms agree at a third of book, the sensible conclusion is that the book is wrong — not that you have found two bargains. We do not headline those cards, and the guards below exist to keep them off the board.

What We Exclude, and Why

CardMarket — excluded entirely, second week running. Its 65 scorable listings return a median 96% below book, with 72% of rows more than 75% under. That is a broken join, not a cheap platform, and the URLs prove it: a listing matched to "Eevee [Nagaba] #62/SV-P" (book S$120.32) points at CardMarket's Fuecoco MEP062 and asks S$6.98; one matched to "Ash's Pikachu #75/SM-P" (book S$332.01) asks S$2.91; a Japanese 151 Psyduck asks S$0.03. The matcher is joining promo cards on card number alone and landing on entirely different Pokemon. Its feed has also not refreshed since 26 September. Earlier editions of this column described CardMarket as "almost always the cheapest platform where present" — that claim is unsupportable and stays retracted until the join is fixed.

pokecompare.com — excluded from singles. It lists only sealed product and joins PriceCharting by expansion rather than card number. Including it would silently mix sealed pricing into a singles table.

The mismatch band is now two-sided. Previously we trimmed only listings more than 75% under book, because that is where bad matches historically clustered. That left the high side untrimmed, which inflated the medians for whichever platform lists the most variants under one name. This week the guard is symmetric in ratio terms: we drop any listing outside 0.25× to 4× of book — a 75% discount or a 300% premium, the same factor of four in each direction. It removes 12.6% of listings on the low side and 2.4% on the high side. The chase-tier table above is the direct beneficiary; it is no longer one-sidedly flattering to Yuyutei, which is why we are now willing to publish it as a ranking rather than a direction.

A new spread guard. If a card's dearest live platform asks more than 4× its cheapest, we drop the card entirely — the platforms are not pricing the same object. This removed only two cards, but one of them would have been this week's headline: a Japanese Shiny Collection Pikachu [Holo 1st Edition] listed at S$40 on KyoCards against S$448.20 on Yuyutei. A 1st Edition holo at 11× spread is a condition or variant mismatch, not a 69% discount, and it is exactly the kind of row that has embarrassed this column before.

Other guards: cards with fewer than two confirmed PriceCharting sales are dropped (3,217 of them — that figure is PriceCharting's "no confirmed sales yet" placeholder, not a market price); sets released in the last 30 days are dropped; cards need at least two corroborating platforms; and the cheapest listing must be 14 days old or newer, which removed 66 otherwise-qualifying cards.

The honest limitation that remains. Of the 94 board cards, 41 have only stale corroboration — their cheapest price is current, but the platforms confirming it are more than 30 days old. That is why the Top Deals section above is drawn exclusively from the 37 cards where every quoted price is under 14 days. If you are acting on a card from the wider board, check the age column.

Recommendations by Budget

Budget collectors (S$100–300/month)

Shop Yuyutei and ignore everything else, unless the card is from 30th Celebration — then shop KyoCards. At the under-S$50 end Yuyutei is 24% under book at the median and has 16,600 live listings, which is the only platform combination offering both price and selection. Batch your orders: on cards at this level, international freight is a larger factor than the price difference between platforms, so one order of eight cards beats four orders of two. The PokeKyun and Start Deck 100 clusters above are where the deepest discounts sit.

Serious collectors (S$500–1,500/month)

This is the tier where the flip starts to cost you. Between S$50 and S$200, Yuyutei's advantage is gone (+38% at the median) and KyoCards is the better default (+9%). Check both on every card — the spreads in this range are routinely 20–30%, as Carbink's 2.1× gap shows, and they run in both directions. KyoCards' feed is seven days old, so confirm stock before committing; it is a real shop on Singapore ground, and a call or a walk-in settles it.

For anything in this range, physical verification is worth the trip. Peninsula Plaza remains the densest concentration of Pokemon singles in Singapore, and the shops around Bugis and Sim Lim Square will usually match a documented online price if you show them the listing. Bricks Play, DEKTCG and Concept City all price mid-tier Japanese singles competitively and let you inspect before paying — which no feed in this report can offer.

High-end collectors (S$2,000+/month)

Do not default to Yuyutei above S$200. It is above book on 93% of chase cards and 82% over at the median. On the examples in the flip table, KyoCards is 2.8× cheaper on Primal Groudon EX and 2.9× cheaper on Primal Kyogre EX. Price every chase card against KyoCards and Carousell before ordering from Japan — and note that Carousell is the cheapest platform at the S$200+ tier (+5%), the exact reverse of its position on cheap cards.

The two exceptions are instructive: Mega Greninja Ex and Gardevoir EX are both recent sets, and on recent sets Yuyutei is pricing against live Japanese supply rather than collector scarcity. The rule is not "avoid Yuyutei" — it is "avoid Yuyutei on older, scarce Japanese chase cards," which is precisely where its domestic premium lives.

At this level, use the community. Singapore Telegram trading groups held the cheapest ask on both Gardevoir EX (S$182, 23% under book) and Team Rocket's Nidoking ex (S$68, 26% under), and the Singapore Pokemon Collectors Facebook group is where high-value local sales are negotiated. Meet in person, verify in hand, and never transfer first.

Last Week's Watch List, Resolved

We make specific predictions here so they can be checked. Four from the 5 October edition:

✅ "30th Celebration becomes readable on 16 October; expect local sellers meaningfully over market." Correct, and understated. Carousell came in at a median 55% over book against KyoCards at 38% under — a 93-point gap, wider than we expected.

🟡 "Whether the stale feeds come back." Half-correct. KyoCards returned (61 days → 7) and that single change is what makes this week's expensive-tier analysis possible. SNKRDUNK and TCGPlayer did not; both still return zero rows.

❌ "Mega Dream ex trainer SARs are firming." Wrong. Steven's Metagross ex is still S$26.82 on Yuyutei and Iris's Fighting Spirit is still S$16.02 — the identical prices we quoted two weeks ago, to the cent. Community completion chatter did not move either card. Flat, not firming.

✅ "PokeKyun Collection — durable arbitrage or one-week anomaly?" Durable. Yuyutei's median across the full 32-card scored set is 43% below book, and nine PokeKyun cards made this week's board against two in the 5 October top ten.

What to Watch Next Week

Whether KyoCards' feed stays current. Its median listing age is seven days and only 54% of its rows are under 30 days, which means the refresh was partial. If it drifts back past 30 days, the chase-tier table in this report becomes unpublishable again — it rests entirely on that one second opinion.

Carousell's backlog. It is scraping daily but its median row is 26 days old. If the queue clears, Carousell becomes a current feed for the first time since August, and its +12% median premium can finally be read as a real local premium rather than a mix of current and two-month-old asks.

30th Celebration's bulk. KyoCards is 38% under book across 214 listings on a set four weeks old. Either KyoCards is underpricing a set it is overstocked on, or PriceCharting's book has not caught up to post-release softening. The second reading is more likely, which means book values for this set should fall over the next month — and the "discounts" above will shrink without any price moving.

SNKRDUNK and TCGPlayer. SNKRDUNK's rows have gone from stale to absent and TCGPlayer has been empty for four weeks. If they are not back by the November editions, we drop them from our stated platform list rather than keep claiming seven.
