OP-18 boxes are a pass at $300 until the first wave lands. English preorders already ask around $300, the same as an OP-17 box. I'd wait for $250 to $275 after the Nov. 20 release. cardwire.com/wire/2026-11-07…

Mega Rayquaza ex is a sell at $330 as Delta Reign opens. All 19 Mega chases from earlier regular sets with enough launch-week sales fell by day 90. I'd leave a bid around $165 starting Feb. 4. cardwire.com/wire/2026-11-07…

Every Gundam box dipped since September. The summer ones got wrecked the worst. Freedom Ascension sealed is about $178. Eternal Nexus fell harder than the rest. Rip for decks. Don't hold sealed waiting for Bandai to run dry. cardwire.com/wire/2026-11-06…

PSA handed Flagg's Flagship 14,664 perfect 10s. Those gems still clear about $100. Dybantsa's just dropped at $8 raw. I'd buy the raw card and skip the $40 PSA grade.

No starts. Still the hottest rookie market. Mendoza's Bowman Chrome Refractor /499 sold for $27 to $132 this month. The class's Topps base rookies are still dollar-bin cardboard.

Mega Rayquaza's Japanese special art rare sold for $441 in a PSA 10 this week, less than a typical raw copy went for in August. Its English version opens with Delta Reign on Friday.

Kevin McGonigle's 1st Bowman auto sold for $830 in a PSA 10 on Nov. 2. The same card of last year's AL Rookie of the Year, Nick Kurtz, went for $700 the day before. This year's winner is named Monday.

Mickey Mantle PSA 2 is the Super Grail in every @ArenaClub sports tier pack. $25 gets you a 1-in-2,000,000 shot. $5,000 cuts that to 1 in 10,000. Sabrina's Gengar PSA 10 holds the same spot in the Pokémon packs. Don't rip blind. Check the printed odds. Then run their 90% buyback against real comps before you take the offer. cardwire.com/article/arena-c…

Luffy's first card came out of a Bandai vending machine in 1999. PSA just celebrated a $3,130 Zoro from a year later. This Luffy is C01, the first card in the first set.

Machamp Prime's PSA 10 sold for $4,980 on Oct. 29, with only 141 ever graded that high. Machamp, Mew and Gengar Prime are cooling together. I'd wait for $3,500 before buying one.

Expedition Mew's PSA 10 sold for $528,000 on Nov. 1, with only 27 ever graded that high. Wizards of the Coast printed dot code along its bottom in 2002 so Nintendo's e-Reader, a Game Boy Advance add-on, could scan it. Its PSA 9 just went for $15,100.

Michael Jordan becomes Agent 23 on his 1992-93 Upper Deck Fanimation card, a cartoon superhero flying over droids with Jim Lee's signature in the art. It's one of the picks in our guide to the Jordans worth buying at every budget.

Pokémon's first Valentine's Box lands Jan. 15 at $15, with 20 three-card packs for the kids. Last year's Holiday Calendar Pikachu sells for about $4 raw but about $440 in PSA 10. If the box has a love-stamped Pikachu, that's the one to grade: cardwire.com/wire/2026-11-03…
