Pokémon card market movers — week of Sep 19, 2026
The 6 biggest 30-day gainers across the cards we track — plus what cooled off — measured from real sold prices, not asking prices.
Most price talk quotes what a seller is asking. These are moves in what buyers actually paid — the recency-weighted median sold price for each card, over the last 30 days, across every market Hoshino reads. Every figure links to that card’s live market, dips and all.
The Hoshino Index this week
Median % move across 5,702 cards with ≥ 45 days of real sold history and a market price ≥ $5. A median, not a based index — a fact, not a projection.
Biggest 30-day gainers
The largest upward moves in our tracked market — cards priced over $40 with a real sold history behind the number.
Cooling off
A market that only goes up is marketing, not data. These pulled back the hardest over the same window.
By character
By character, the strongest 30-day baskets were Cherrim (+65.7% median across 3 cards), Tangela (+26.0% median across 3 cards), Dark Gyarados (+23.3% median across 3 cards).
How to read this
A big 30-day move tells you where attention and money went — not where they’ll go next. Use it as a starting point: open the card, check the depth of the sold data and whether the move is broad or one hot sale, then decide. The Hoshino Index tracks the whole board live, and here’s how we compute every number.
Signals, not financial advice. Prices move; do your own diligence. Figures are the recency-weighted median sold price as of Sep 19, 2026.
