Methodology
Prices are TCGplayer market prices (daily TCGCSV catalogue snapshots), plus Scryfall, TCGdex, YGOPRODeck and Lorcast for Magic, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Lorcana, recorded nightly. For each game, the index is the equal-weighted mean of each card's price relative to the start of the window, trimmed 5% at each tail. A card is included only if it has at least 15 clean daily readings in the window, and a game is reported only if at least 150 cards qualify. Moves larger than ±100% are treated as data errors and excluded. A card counts as rising or falling only if it moved more than 2%. The spread is the 10th to 90th percentile of individual card moves. Every sentence under "Key findings" is generated by a fixed rule from these numbers. Full detail: methodology.
Limits: these are marketplace list and market prices, not completed sales of every copy; cards added to our record during the window are not in it; and a 30-day window says nothing on its own about longer trends.
