Upcoming releasesNov 6 ME06: Delta Reign
On average, we estimate a new Pokémon set's cards worth $1.00 or more, weighted by price, are somewhere between 20% and 40% below the set's release-week level in weeks 26 to 30. A card's price change from one week to the next counts only when both of those prices are $1.00 or more. The range is our estimate's uncertainty; single sets can land well outside it.
