Four themes from posts on X

From the Japanese Pokémon card accounts on X that we follow, we picked posts from September 30 to October 6 about prices, restocks and unconfirmed reports, and grouped them into four themes. Posts are summarized; follow each link for the original.

1. PSA 10 prices turn up

On X @soluna100_chart posted on October 6 that its own index, calculated from PSA 10 sale prices, stood at 96.2 (+0.6% on the day). In an October 5 roundup, @Zabi_pokeka reported that PSA 10 copies of the ブラッキーVMAX SA had recovered to ¥680,000.

Our data In our TOP100, cards with a positive 7-day PSA 10 change rose from 9 the week before to 40. PSA 10 for ブラッキーVMAX (S6a 095/069) is ¥669,000 (+3.51% over 7 days), レックウザVMAX (S7R 083/067) ¥861,500 (+5.87%) and ピカチュウ&ゼクロムGX (SM9 101/095) ¥651,250 (+8.73%). Over 30 days, though, the three are -24.32%, -25.00% and -28.50%.

Our view More cards have stopped falling on a 7-day view, but nearly all are still down over 30 days. This may turn out to be a short bounce within a decline; we are watching whether the number of cards down over 30 days starts to shrink in the coming weeks.

2. 30th CELEBRATION and restock rumors

On X @ZeniKame_Pokeca posted on October 5 that 30th CELEBRATION (M6a) boxes were at ¥25,900, slightly up from ¥25,700 the day before. On October 6, @takahiro_012 wrote about a rumor that the RGB Mew card would not be included in restocked boxes, saying he had looked for its origin and could not find one.

Our data No 30th CELEBRATION card was in the TOP100 on October 6, so the set is not yet reflected in our market data. The 30th CELEBRATION Card Set (9 types) is released on Friday, October 16, 2026.

Our view The rumor about box contents has no confirmed source. Box prices may move depending on how many restocked boxes reach the market; we are watching for official announcements and for price moves after the card set is released.

3. Storm Emeralda (M6) after restocks

On X @aakazuaa1 posted on October 4 that, after a large restock of Storm Emeralda (M6), the set’s Rayquaza SAR had dropped into the ¥20,000 range. On October 5, @shoukinopokeka shared a video saying the Mega Rayquaza MUR had gone from ¥290,000 to ¥80,000.

Our data メガレックウザex (M6 113/076), which is in our TOP100, has a PSA 10 price of ¥202,111 (-9.63% over 7 days, -19.01% over 30 days), the fourth-largest 7-day PSA 10 drop in the TOP100. Mint is ¥77,777 (+11.11% over 7 days, -9.90% over 30 days).

Our view While restock reports keep coming, PSA 10 prices for the set’s top cards may be slow to recover. We are watching for the 7-day PSA 10 change to turn positive.

4. Vintage card sales

On X @mix_choice25809 posted on October 3 that PSA 10 copies of the unlimited ガブリアスLV.X had sold for ¥280,000 on September 21 and ¥998,000 on October 2. On October 4, @cY4wItenbl95537 wrote that vintage cards are scarce and can rise quickly, but that prices could also fall to half their peak.

Our data Our TOP100 is the 100 cards with the highest latest prices, and ガブリアスLV.X was not among them on October 6. This move is not yet reflected in our market data.

Our view Posters disagree about vintage cards. Individual sales are few, so we are watching whether further sales happen at similar prices.

What to watch next week

  • How many cards are down over 30 days in PSA 10 (90 of 100 this week)
  • 30th CELEBRATION prices around the October 16 release of the Card Set
  • 7-day PSA 10 changes for top Storm Emeralda (M6) cards such as メガレックウザex (M6 113/076)
