Supply outruns demand
Booster Bundle and Mini Tin restocks add pulls faster than collectors absorb them. English drifts toward Japanese and Chinese levels, the path the set’s Futuristic Rares already took.
The RGB Index (average English raw price) is $3,742. Three paths to Dec 31 from our own sales, then where 14 earlier chase cards went in the ten years after launch.

Booster Bundle and Mini Tin restocks add pulls faster than collectors absorb them. English drifts toward Japanese and Chinese levels, the path the set’s Futuristic Rares already took.
The last-10 median, held flat, the best of four models at predicting sales it had not seen, finds no drift it can trust yet, so the path holds near today’s index. Eight in ten outcomes land between $2,050 and $6,800. In backtests it missed the next two weeks of sales by 18% on average, against 20% for a straight-line trend.
English graded comps print well above 2× raw, low pop counts get published, and holiday demand lands on a thin float.
Past year end the chart follows 14 other chase cards. Chase cards like these gave back about 27% in their first year on average, then grew about 25% a year in years one to three, and about 22% a year after that. The median path reaches $17,767 by Oct 2036. The 80% range, $3,686 to $85,652, is wide because the cards behind it ended up far apart: Charizard VMAX SV107 (shiny) sells for 19% of its first price, Gengar VMAX alt art 271/264 for 8.2×.

Our own sales only go back to Sep 2026, so the long view comes from other chase cards: 99 dated raw prices from public sales and market-price reports. Each card’s history is cut into returns by the card’s age, and the model learns how much prices drift and swing at each age. The age-dependent drift model was picked because it best predicted each card’s later prices from its first one with that card left out: a typical miss of 73% over 2.5 years, with 82% of prices inside the 80% band (no drift (random walk): 80% miss; constant drift: 75% miss).
Read it with care. These are cards people wrote about, which leans toward winners; most of their history falls in a rising market; and the RGB Mews are rarer and pricier than any of them. As a long-run check, 5 graded vintage cards, kept out of the fit, grew 24% to 66% a year over their recorded spans, faster than this model assumes for mature cards. Prices checked 2026-10-02.
Scenarios, not predictions, and not financial advice.
The base path and its 80% range come from a last-10 median, held flat, picked because it beat 3 other models at predicting held-out sales (144 EN and 318 JP raw sales, outliers excluded). It is refit every time prices update. Bear and bull endpoints are anchored to observed comparables: Japanese and Chinese raw prices on the downside, graded multiples on the upside.
Each card's page has its recent sales and a value check for your exact copy.
