Ahri took the top of the market
This covers July 30 to August 6. There were 218 graded sales across 109 cards. 201 were PSA, 15 were BGS and two were TAG. The middle sale was $685. The biggest was $23,200.
Seven of the 10 biggest sales were Ahri. Five were Ahri Inquisitive and two were Ahri Nine-Tailed Fox.
The top 10
The Ahri - Nine-Tailed Fox (Signature) sold for $7,600 and $7,700. It keeps trending up. When a card is climbing, that is when I like to sell. You never know where the top is.
The Ahri - Inquisitive (Signature) sold in PSA 10 for $9,400, $9,500, $10,000, $11,200 and $15,900.
A Kai'Sa - Daughter of the Void (Signature) in TAG 10 sold for $9,600.
The Ahri - Nine-Tailed Fox (Metal) (Prize Wall) sold for $23,100 on August 2. The top sale of the week was another Ahri at $23,200.
Ahri Inquisitive Black Label 10s
Only two Ahri - Inquisitive (Overnumbered) BGS Black Label 10s have sold. One sold for $9,750 on July 14. One sold for $15,000 on July 27. That is about a 50% jump.
If you own a graded Ahri and you are not a long-term collector, I think this is a good time to sell. My own rule is to sell when I can get about a 50% return. This is not financial advice.
Sealed: Arcane box cooling, World's Bundle climbing
The Arcane box shot up to $760. Now its market price is near $600, and the lowest listing is $570. I think it was overpriced. I expect it to settle near $500.
Gem rates on those cards are not great. I have seen lots of 9.5s and 9s and very few PSA 10s. BGS also suspended basic grading until September, and TAG stopped basic grading too.
The World's Bundle broke $1,200. The last sale was $1,180. It is up 90% in 30 days. The Panda Teemo is the big driver.
The T1 World's Bundle lottery closes in three days. If you want one, enter now.
Movers to watch
- Aphelios - Exalted (Overnumbered) PSA 10s used to sell near $250. Now they are close to $600. I think it is a good time to sell.
- Jinx - Loose Cannon (Metal) (Prize Wall) PSA 10s were $5,500. Since July, sales have gone over $15,000.
- A Miss Fortune Alternate Art graded copy went from about $50 to $140.
- The Volibear - Relentless Storm (Signature) PSA 10 is about to pass $3,000. A few months ago it was near $1,000. Raw copies went from about $700 to over $1,000.
Two I would hold
The Miss Fortune - Bounty Hunter (Signature) PSA 10 has slipped. Some sold near $3,500. The middle price is now about $2,200. I would hold it.
The Sett - Brawler (Signature) PSA 10 used to sell near $2,000. It dropped to $1,250. I would hold this one too.
