The graded grails
Last week it was a Legendary Collection Reverse Holo Gengar at $408,000. This week a PSA 10 Masaki Vending promo led all sales at $198,000, the second straight week Pokemon's favorite ghost-type has run the board.
The Masaki is the wild one. The last public PSA 10 we can find sold for about $22,500 in May 2025, and this copy hammered at nearly nine times that just over a year later. Two different Gengars have topped the board two weeks running, and the market has picked its favorite.
The Poncho Pikachus filled in behind it. A BGS Black Label Charizard X took second at $108,000, barely above the $105,400 it brought in February, while the Charizard Y ran to $84,000, up about a third from $63,000 over the same stretch. The Y is closing the gap on the X.
A PSA 10 Dragon Vault Rayquaza matched that $84,000, and a PSA 10 Plasma Storm Charizard rounded out the top five at $74,424.
On the sealed side
The sealed leaderboard didn't bring six-figure sales, but it still showed plenty of strength. A Mario Pikachu Special Box led the way at $30,500, a reminder of how much demand Nintendo collaboration products still pull.
Close behind, a 1st Edition Fossil Booster Box sold for $30,208. Nearly three decades after release, collectors are still paying serious money for iconic WOTC era sealed product.
What stood out was how much Black & White and XY product showed up. Three of the five biggest sealed sales came from those eras, a sign collectors keep expanding beyond traditional vintage.
The read
Low pop wins. The biggest sales this week came from items collectors rarely get a chance to own: Masaki Gengar, Poncho Pikachus, Mario Pikachu, Dragon Vault Rayquaza.
When pieces like these hit the market, the buyers show up. And on this week's evidence, demand for true grails is as strong as ever.
We'll keep watching the top of the market closely.
