2 of 36 basket cards are above their Jul 2026 price. Release-month price = PriceCharting's monthly ungraded price for the card; today's figure is the live sold mark (10/19/26). Same basis as the index's Since Release.
How this index works
Pokémon Mega Evolution: Pitch Black (me5) — released Jul 17, 2026. Price-weighted over every secret-tier card with a sourced sold read (currently 36). This page tracks the set; it does not recommend cards. Set guide →
100 = Jul 2026 (release month) · live since 08/24/26 · re-marked 10/19/26 · ▼ −0.1% w/w

How to read the big number: it started at 100. 61.56 means these cards cost about 38% less than on day one.

This tracks prices — it doesn’t tell you to buy or sell. Cards are long holds, so the 6–12 month picture matters more than any one week.

EFFECTIVE HOLDINGS = 1/HHI — the index behaves like an equal-weight basket of this many cards. Unpriced universe cards carry zero weight until their first sourced sold read; each enters via a logged divisor adjustment so inclusion never moves the level.

Legend & Methodology

SCOPE — the secret tier: all 36 beyond-base slots (#85-120). Universe = 36; the basket = every card with a sourced sold read. Pokémon pull rates differ across rarity tiers, so no equal-supply claim is made — this is a price-weighted chase-basket index, plainly. · WEIGHT — price ÷ basket value (priced cards only). · PRICE — sold comps only, dated per row; never asks, never blended, never estimated. · FULL METHODOLOGY — solds vs asks vs engine marks vs proxies, the one-page read: /how-prices-work · INDEX LEVEL — Σ(sold mark × weight) ÷ divisor (9.968506), set so that 100 = Jul 2026 (release month): the level IS the cumulative return since then. Rebased Sep 30, 2026 from the original Aug 24 launch base (every level × 0.8233; shape and % moves unchanged). Months before the live marks are reconstructed from PriceCharting's monthly ungraded price history with today's basket, labelled on the chart. The divisor adjusts (and is logged) whenever the basket composition changes, so only prices move the level. NO CAPS — since Oct 12, 2026 the index is the cost of one copy of every card in the basket, indexed to its base month: a card's weight is its price over that sum and moves with prices, nothing is trimmed and there is no rebalance. (A 25% single-card cap ran Oct 7–12, 2026; a set cannot trim a Charizard the way an ETF trims a position, so it was retired and the months before are re-chained on the same uncapped weights.) Membership changes are logged divisor adjustments and never move the level. · ★ — Track in your Vault (free, no account): Hunting or I Own It. · NO CALLS — ShopCardHub retired Pokémon price calls on Aug 18, 2026 (graded record: no edge). An index is a measurement, not a recommendation.
