How this index works

On Nov 12, 2026 the Base Set (Unlimited) index (BS99) stood at 113.08 (Jan 2021 = 100), and one raw copy of each of the 101 cards it prices cost about $983 at eBay sold prices read on PriceCharting. It is re-marked every Monday and Thursday. 100 = Jan 2021, the first month the sold history reliably covers (the set predates it); months before 09/28/26 are reconstructed from monthly price history, live marks since 09/28/26. This block tracks the set; it does not recommend cards.

$983 for one of each · 101 cards · 100 = Jan 2021 (first reliable month) · live since 09/28/26 · re-marked 11/12/26 · ▼ -9.2% w/w

How to read the big number: it started at 100. 113.08 means these cards cost about 13% more than on day one. It is the same one-of-each cost ($983 today vs $869 then), scaled so the base month is 100.

One of each of the 101 cards in the set, raw: about $983 at 90-day sold medians as of Nov 12. What the whole set costs to buy, one copy of each card, on that date. Since Oct 12, 2026 the index level above is this same one-of-each sum, indexed to the set’s base month (cards tracked outside the level excepted).

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.

Method. One set, one index. The universe is every card in the set; the basket is the cards that trade as ungraded singles — at least 6 clean single-card sold comps in the trailing 90 days to enter, 4 to stay. The holo rule: 15 holo-tier cards (holos, Shinings, Crystals, secret and illustration rares — by printed rarity) are standing constituents. They are never screened out, because a set's value sits in its holos and raw holos trade slower than commons precisely because they cost more; all of them currently clear the screen on their own. Price-weighted on PriceCharting's dated ungraded sold list (eBay sales, with TCGplayer sales where PriceCharting records them), never asks. The TCGplayer shop price shown beside each card is a separate number and is not in the level. No caps. The index is the cost of one copy of every card in the basket ($983 today), indexed to 100 at the base month: a card's weight is its price over that sum and moves with prices, nothing is ever trimmed, and there is no rebalance — the top card is 32.5% because that is what the set is, and the ex-Charizard line above shows what the rest of the set did without it. (The 25% single-card and 5/50 group caps used Sep 15 – Oct 12, 2026 were retired on Oct 12: a set cannot trim a Charizard the way an ETF trims a position.) Level = Σ(sold mark) ÷ divisor 8.695019; entries and exits are logged divisor adjustments; reconstitution quarterly (first Monday of Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct, announced the Monday before). The plain read's whole-set figure is the plain sum of every priced card's sold mark, one copy each, raw and uncapped, with its window and date printed; its change compares the same cards at two market marks at least five days apart and never across a divisor row. It is what the set costs to buy, not a level. Every card in the universe is in the basket. Left out of the universe on purpose: Machamp #8 — no unstamped Unlimited Machamp was released (it came only in the 2-Player Starter, with the 1st Edition stamp); the only Machamp row on PriceCharting's Unlimited listing is the separate “1999-2000” print, so this index holds 101 cards. n30 is a liquidity gate, never a volume figure (the source caps its table at 60 rows). The first English set (1999): Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur lead a 102-card set. Unlimited print only: 1st Edition, Shadowless and stamped or error variants are separate PriceCharting items and are not in this index. Raw vintage sells a few times a month, so this index screens and marks on 90 days of sales (enter at 6, stay at 4), the same window as its 1st Edition sibling. A vintage raw copy can be any condition, so the mark is the median raw sale, not a near-mint price. Bid buttons are live eBay auctions on the exact card (verified title, soonest close with bids first, refreshed every 15 minutes) — bids, not marks. An index is a measurement, not a call.
