What to sell, September 2026
Sellers get the reverse of the buyer's report: the cards rising with real sales behind the move, the ones falling that are not worth dumping, the cards that sell the day you list them, and the sealed products trading far above MSRP. Net proceeds are after fees on the channel that fits, buyer paying shipping. Data through 2026-09-06. Router and fee calculator →
Sell into strength
Biggest weekly gainers at $10 and up with at least three sales in the week. A spike with volume is a bid; a spike without one is a listing.

Method: gainers and losers come from the Sunday weekly report (market price versus the prior Sunday, code cards excluded); sales counts are TCGplayer units in the trailing 7 days; sealed premiums compare the TCGplayer market price with the published MSRP on the launch hubs. Net proceeds use the fee schedules on the where-to-sell page. Not financial advice.
