How We Measure the Market
Raw price lists are noisy. A $500 card with 2 transactions a month shouldn't move the needle the same way a $10 card with 500 transactions does. To cut through that noise, every average in this guide is weighted by sales volume — the number of recent transactions PriceCharting records for each card.
The process, run each Monday:
- Load today's PriceCharting CSV and the file from 7 days prior
- Merge on card ID — only cards present on both dates are included
- For each condition, compute
Σ(price × volume) / Σ(volume) - Compare today vs baseline, flag the direction and magnitude

This Week at a Glance — Nov 5 – Nov 12, 2026
Raw Price Trend — Indexed, Since May 2026
Each series is an index: 100 = May 3, 2026, the first date all four games have data. Every point is the one before it moved by that week's measured change, shown in brackets.
This replaced dollar levels on 3 October 2026. The old column showed a weighted average recomputed over a different card universe each week, so its week-to-week movement did not match the percentage changes reported above it — in the 26 September edition the table rose while the copy reported a fall. An index built from the measured changes cannot disagree with them. A dash means no comparable pair of snapshots existed that week; it is left blank rather than carried forward, which would assert a flat week that was never measured.

Weighted market value fell 3.1%, a broad decline spread across sets rather than concentrated in one. Figures exclude the 30th Celebration and Limited Pack World Championship 2026 sets while their launch pricing settles.

🔵 One Piece

The same divergence as recent weeks, still running — loose raw gained 1.1% while the slabs kept softening, generic graded down 1.9%, BGS 10 down 1.8% and CGC 10 down 1.8%; PSA 10 was flat at −0.03%. Weighted market value still rose 0.9%, since raw carries most of the volume-weighted universe.

Cross-Market Comparison
Every TCG eased this week, but raw and graded kept pulling in different directions within each one. Pokemon and Magic both saw loose raw soften (−0.9% and −0.8%) while most of their grading tiers firmed — Pokemon's BGS 10 and PSA 10 both up 0.4%, Magic's generic graded up 1.1%. One Piece ran the opposite split: loose raw gained 1.1% while every slab tier kept falling, generic graded off 1.9%. Yu-Gi-Oh! was the one game without a split, slipping across nearly every tier at once. Weighted market value fell for three of the four games — Pokemon hardest at −3.1%, a broad decline spread across many sets rather than one — with One Piece the lone gain at +0.9%, carried by its raw-heavy card mix.

Philippines Price Benchmarks (PHP)
Use these volume-weighted averages as a sanity check when browsing Shopee PH, Lazada, Carousell PH, or local Facebook TCG groups. Listings significantly below the benchmark are worth a closer look; listings significantly above may be priced on hype rather than market data.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the weighted average price calculated?
Each card's price is weighted by its sales-volume (transaction count from PriceCharting). A card with 500 transactions influences the average 50× more than one with 10 transactions. Cards with zero volume are excluded entirely.
How often is this guide updated?
Every Monday, comparing the latest available snapshot to the file from 7 days prior.
Why is One Piece's average raw price so much higher?
One Piece has a smaller card pool (~11K cards) concentrated around recent, high-value sets. The most-traded cards are chase rares from OP07–OP15, which pulls the volume-weighted average well above Pokemon or Magic.
How do PHP prices here compare to local shop prices?
These are global volume-weighted averages converted to PHP — they reflect the international market, not local retail markups. Philippine LGS prices and Shopee listings often carry a premium for import costs and convenience. Use these figures as a floor reference, not a ceiling.
