  • Pop-adjusted valuePSA 10 pop 12,947 · PSA 10 price $710 · float $9,188,745+58% vs Scarlet & Violet curve#57 of 77 in era · slope +0.30

    12,947 PSA 10s exist and the last PSA 10 comp was $710; that is 58% above what this era's population curve predicts, rank 57 of 77, in an era where population only loosely predicts PSA 10 price (slope +0.30, R² 0.14, the most-graded cards costing most).

  • Drawdown vs popwindow 2026-03-18 → 2026-10-29-37% from $142 (2026-06-05)supply +0% · flat

    Observed raw near-mint $89.44 on 2026-10-28 against a window high of $142 on 2026-06-05: 37% below it, deep enough for the drawdown screen. PSA 10 population went 12,899 → 12,947 (+0%), flat by the screen's rule, so the fall is not a supply story.

  • Chase concentrationObsidian Flames: top-3 share 38% · HHI 0.0822% of set value#1 card in the set

    Obsidian Flames's cards sum to $411 over 230 cards; this card is 22% of that as its #1 card, and the top 3 together hold 38% (HHI 0.08, where 1.0 would be one card being the whole set).

    2 Swedish asks with a median of 7,750 kr ≈ $780 on 2026-10-28, 772% above the US near-mint market of $89.44 (2026-10-28), and 550% above the eBay sold median of $120 (229 sales in 90 days). Asks, not sales; under three asks, so the screen shows it unranked.

Terms used above
PSA 10 pop
The number of copies PSA has graded a 10, read by hand from public GemRate-sourced reports on a stated date.
thin comp
An observed PSA 10 price built on fewer than three eBay sales, or one the source flags as an outlier. It is in the fit, but it is one comp, not a market.
slope
b in the era's fit ln(price) = a + b · ln(pop). Negative: scarcer cards cost more. Positive: the most-graded cards cost most, so population is tracking demand rather than scarcity.
float
PSA 10 price × PSA 10 population: the market value of every PSA 10 of the card in existence. A small float is a thin market in both directions.
HHI
Herfindahl–Hirschman index: the sum of every card's squared share of the set's value, from near 0 (value spread evenly) to 1.0 (one card is the whole set).
spread
Tradera median in dollars ÷ US market − 1. Negative means the Swedish asks sit below the US near-mint market, before postage, VAT and duty, none of which is subtracted.
asks, not sales
Tradera figures are live asking prices (plus bids on auctions closing within a day), not completed sales. An ask nobody meets is not a price, and asks run above what sells.
