Why the movers moved this week

Charizard
EX Power Keepers · #6/108
+125%$450.00

Likely driven by increased reprinting and supply from The Pokémon Company, which has been actively replenishing stock at retailers to meet high demand, as stated on their support site. This move counters the expectation that the premium for newer cards would shrink as the number of PSA 10s grew. (Source: https://cardwire.com/article/charizards)

cardwire.com
Mewtwo 104 (30th Celebration)
ME: Mega Evolution Promo · #104
+59%$22.78

Likely driven by a significant increase in market price over the past week, as evidenced by TCGIndex's daily record showing a high of $15.04 on Nov 2026, up from $9.94 on Sep 2026 (source: https://tcgindex.io/pokemon/card/pokemon-me-mega-evolution-promo-mewtwo-104-30th-celebration-promo).

Mega Lucario ex 160/132
ME01: Mega Evolution · #160/132
+54%$15.74

Likely driven by an increase in sales volume, with 59 Near Mint copies sold on TCGplayer this week at $0.15 to $13.25. (Source: [Mega Lucario ex - 160/132 — ME01: Mega Evolution Price & Value · The Lab TCG](https://thelabtcg.com/card/654499%3AHolofoil))

Raikou 32/73 (Let's Play, Pikachu!) (Cracked Ice Holo)
