A Japanese Lugia PSA 8 went from $12,000 to $30,000 in two days.
Half the hobby calls graded vintage a scam, the other half calls it real scarcity.

The Clay Mann Shonen Jump Absolute Batman 25’s were $8.99 (if you could find them) on Wednesday or if you preordered them.
Now they’re $70-$80 and climbing on eBay. For reference, the Clay Mann Absolute Batman Chainsaw Man homage cover 1st print is $1000. Not saying this’ll do the same but I think there’s room for it to keep going up.
Clay Mann's foil cover for Absolute Batman #25 (Cover L) is our #1 out of all 130 covers.
Cheapest one on eBay is $42 and it jumps right to $50 with another two sales. We may have picked up a few that were signed by @Ssnyder1835 today on @Whatnot.
Price update on Mega Gengar ex SIR: around $700 to $735, about 40% below its spring peak. Still the top English card in Ascended Heroes, and still the Halloween pick. Details: keywire.io/signals/why-mega-…
TCG Fear & Greed: 84, Extreme Greed. Holding steady from yesterday.

What are you buying before Delta Reign?
TCG Fear & Greed: 84, Extreme Greed. Down 1 from yesterday.

The Clay Mann foil of Absolute Batman #25 jumped from its $8.99 cover to $60 in one day. That's the open-order manga-magazine cover, and signed copies are going for $100. Lunar, one of DC's distributors, is out of copies.
Gunn says DCU Batman casting "isn't very far away." He'll cast someone around Superman's age.
Gunn also said he'd "bend over backwards" to keep Margot Robbie as Harley. He wants Idris Elba back as Bloodsport, and the Waller series isn't dead yet.
Archie #2 from Oni sold out. A second print with a new Immonen cover ships Nov 25.
Monday is the last day for shops to place orders for books shipping in late November and December. Across all publishers, 99 rare ratio variant covers are up for order. The standout is Lancer #1's Paul Pope variant, a 1-in-100 ratio cover, meaning shops get one copy per 100 regular copies they order.
A Reddit collector says the PSA 10 2002 Expedition Dragonite that sold for $288,000 on Fanatics Collect is fake.
He says he owns a slab with the same cert number.
Fanatics CEO Nick Bell says they're investigating.
Do you check the cert on every slab you buy?
Pokémon is coming to McDonald's Happy Meals on November 10 in the US.
Each meal has one of 15 mini box toys plus two random cards from a 15 card promo set, including Jirachi and Snorlax.
GameStop just added Rolex watches to its Power Packs. A $5,000 digital pack can now pull a watch worth up to $79,700, and you can sell it back, ship it, or keep it vaulted.
Would we rip a $5,000 pack?
Yes
Would we keep the watch?
No way, cash out and buy cards instantly

All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from "X-Men" to "Logan" to "Avengers: Doomsday." He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.
