Why the movers moved this week

Mewtwo (Delta Species)
EX Delta Species · #12/113
+76%$746.84

The recent price surge for Mewtwo (Delta Species) (EX Delta Species, 12/113) is likely driven by heightened collector interest and nostalgia for the EX era, as evidenced by the steady price appreciation since 2020 and the cyclical nature of Mewtwo card values tied to major Pokémon announcements and events (source: https://pokemonpricing.com/price-charting-for-ex-delta-species-mewtwo-holo/).
