GrailGauge Trend Report

The EX / DPP era cohort — the universe's largest at nearly 3,000 cards — had 73% of its cards up over 90 days, a breadth reading consistent with broad, durable demand rather than a handful of outliers pulling the median.

Scarlet & Violet's 90-day median sat deeply negative with only 13% of cards up over that span, the weakest shareUp90 of any living era — a sharp contrast to its still-positive 365-day figure, suggesting recent pressure on cards that had previously appreciated.

Mega Evolution's median365 of -59.6% marks it as the only era cohort underwater on the full-year look, and its shareUp90 of just 2% means declines were nearly universal across the period.

Commons through non-holo rares — the universe's largest rarity bucket — tracked almost as strongly as holo rares over 90 days, which is consistent with broad vintage and mid-era set demand lifting even lower-profile cards.

Stars, Shinings & shinies showed a near-flat 90-day median despite a strong 365-day figure, suggesting that the group's longer-run gains paused or consolidated over this specific quarter.

Illustration rares and alt arts' 90-day median of -14.4% with only 10% of cards up represents the sharpest rarity-level retreat in the period, a reading that coincides with the broader weakness recorded across Scarlet & Violet era material.

Neo Revelation had 94% of its tracked cards up over 90 days — the highest shareUp90 of any set in the spotlight — and its 365-day median of 71% shows the current run sits on top of an already substantial prior advance.

HS—Triumphant's 87% shareUp90 and 152.2% one-year median make it the most consistently appreciated set in the table; the 90-day gain arrived on a very high base, which distinguishes it from sets recovering off lows.

Perfect Order and Ascended Heroes each had 0% of cards up over 90 days with no available 365-day figure, indicating these are recent releases whose post-launch prices fell throughout the entire tracked window.

Rayquaza from Call of Legends and Rayquaza ex from Deoxys both appeared near the top of the riser list, with the former moving from $104.42 to $1,013.27 — a pattern consistent with concentrated collector demand for specific high-profile cards within an already-hot era cohort.

Shining Charizard from Neo Destiny recorded the largest absolute dollar decline in the table, dropping from $3,998.99 to $1,700.99 over 90 days — notable because even at the lower price it remains among the most expensive single cards tracked this period.

Three of the ten decliners — Erika's Tangela from Ascended Heroes, Mega Dragalge ex from Chaos Rising, and Emolga from Black Bolt — represent newer Mega Evolution and Scarlet & Violet era releases, consistent with the broad era-level weakness recorded for both cohorts.

⌁The EX / DPP era cohort's 90-day median of 14.7% arrives on top of a 365-day median of 133.1% — worth watching whether the shorter-window pace continues to compound on an already-elevated base or begins to moderate in future periods.

⌁The e-Card cohort's 30-day median was flat at 0% while its 90-day median remained positive at 8.3%, a divergence that may reflect recent stalling after a stronger earlier move within the quarter.

⌁Stars, Shinings & shinies posted a negative 90-day median (-0.2%) while carrying a strongly positive 365-day median (55.8%) — this split between short- and long-horizon performance was the most pronounced among all rarity cohorts.

⌁Black & White base set showed a positive 90-day median of 20.9% yet its 365-day median sits at -2.4%, meaning recent gains have not yet recovered the full-year loss — an unusual reversal pattern relative to other sets in the spotlight.
