Weekly Report (Jul 13–19, 2026)

Weekly Market Pulse

TCGPlayer moved $1,396,928.66 across 7,860 units and 6,282 orders this week, revenue up 35.83% and units up 26.94% against the prior week’s 6,192 units and $1,028,478.73. That is a big up week, but the number that matters is where it came from. The Hobbit debuted at MagicCon Amsterdam on July 18, and the set does not release until August 14, so every dollar of it is preorder money. Its two displays did roughly $539K combined: The Hobbit Collector Booster Display led the whole revenue board at $307,820.82 on 384 units and an $801.62 VWAP, and The Hobbit Play Booster Display came second at $231,349.24 on 1,380 units. That is about 39% of the cohort’s revenue on a product nobody can open yet. The reveal is right there in the daily line: July 18, the Saturday of the panel, was the single biggest day at 1,740 units and $343,453.11, July 19 stayed hot at 1,325 units and $252,885.56, and Monday through Friday ran a steady $167K to $193K. This is speculation on an unreleased set, not the in-hand market heating up, and it is worth keeping those two things separate.

Underneath the preorder money, Marvel stayed the in-hand backbone. Marvel Super Heroes Collector Booster Display did $70,416.30 on 151 units, the Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Display $47,789.67 on 420, and the FINAL FANTASY Collector Booster Display $46,859.83 on just 25, the highest per-unit price in the cohort by a wide margin. For the calendar: Pro Tour Marvel Super Heroes ran at MagicCon Amsterdam July 17 to 19, more than 350 players, and finished on a Broodscale Combo win, which kept a spotlight on Marvel heading into the week. And Reality Fracture, which does not release until October 2, started drawing its own preorder money at the top of the revenue table.

Top Gainers

Tarkir Dragonstorm Commander Deck Sultai Arisen leads TCGPlayer gainers, VWAP $86.62 -> $107.04 (+23.58%) on 40 units, 24 orders, and $4,281.76 in revenue. This is a 2025 precon, and it is doing the quiet thing from last week’s report all over again: sell-through 1.5701, meaning the shelf turned over half again, while supply sat basically flat at avg qty 26.8 -> 25.5 (-5.06%). I looked for a reprint or an event and found nothing. The one thing worth floating, and I cannot prove it, is that the Universes Beyond wave keeps pulling new players in, and a dragon-themed Commander set is exactly the sort of thing a new player reaches for. Treat that as a guess, not a finding.

FINAL FANTASY Collector Booster Display rose on TCGPlayer, VWAP $1,550.81 -> $1,874.39 (+20.87%) on 25 units and $46,859.83 in revenue. Last week I asked whether it would hold above $1,500. It did more than hold. What makes this box different from every other tightening product is that the supply can never be rebuilt: the serialized Traveling Chocobos mean Wizards cannot reprint it without breaking it, and boxes are being reported pushing toward $1,900. The caution is the thinness. 25 units across 23 orders carried this move, supply actually grew a little at avg qty 93.7 -> 99.0 (+5.64%), and sell-through was only 0.2525. The direction is real. The magnitude rests on very few sales, and flippers cracking boxes could still stall it.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Prerelease Pack gained on TCGPlayer, VWAP $27.69 -> $30.72 (+10.93%) on 28 units and $860.17 in revenue. I want to be honest about the size: 28 units, a 0.0738 sell-through, and an inventory pile that barely moved at avg qty 402.9 -> 379.5 (-5.79%). This is a directional tick on a product with a large overhang, not a scarcity story. Read it as noise with a slight upward lean.

FINAL FANTASY Collector Booster Omega Pack climbed on TCGPlayer, VWAP $137.44 -> $150.57 (+9.55%) on 31 units and $4,667.60 in revenue. This one has more under it than the display: supply drained hard, avg qty 109.8 -> 62.0 (-43.47%), at a 0.4996 sell-through. Same collector-tier strength, except here the price move has a genuinely shrinking shelf behind it rather than a handful of high sales.

FINAL FANTASY Commander Deck FINAL FANTASY XIV Scions and Spellcraft rose on TCGPlayer, VWAP $57.85 -> $63.37 (+9.54%) on 22 units and $1,394.22 in revenue. Supply barely moved at avg qty 153.2 -> 148.6 (-3.01%) and sell-through was a soft 0.1480. Nothing dramatic here. It reads as ordinary demand on a liked precon, riding the same FINAL FANTASY attention the collector product is pulling in.

The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Commander Deck Veloci Ramp Tor climbed on TCGPlayer, VWAP $116.95 -> $127.59 (+9.10%) on 47 units and $5,996.86 in revenue, sell-through 1.1680. This is a 2023 precon I have now flagged two weeks running, and it keeps grinding up. The only change this week is that supply ticked up instead of down, avg qty 36.4 -> 40.2 (+10.46%), so the shelf is being replenished a little even as it turns over. No reprint, no event. Just a slow drain on an old deck that will not quit.

On Manapool, the moves are real in direction and tiny in size, so read them that way. FINAL FANTASY Play Booster Pack (Manapool) jumped $5.69 -> $8.27 (+45.36%) on 21 units across 3 orders. Tarkir Dragonstorm Commander Deck Sultai Arisen (Manapool) added $83.73 -> $115.94 (+38.46%) on 4 units at a 1.5000 sell-through, but that fired off a baseline_small_supply flag with an average of 2.7 listings, so treat the percentage cautiously. FINAL FANTASY Collector Booster Sample Pack (Manapool) rose $10.48 -> $13.49 (+28.76%) on 48 units while its listings thinned avg qty 74.3 -> 41.3 (-44.39%), sell-through 1.1613, the cleanest of the group. Marvel Super Heroes Commander Deck Wakanda Forever (Manapool) posted $49.84 -> $61.27 (+22.92%) on only 3 units. Modern Horizons 3 Play Booster Pack (Manapool) added $7.98 -> $9.60 (+20.30%) on 10 units. And Duskmourn House of Horror Commander Deck Endless Punishment (Manapool) rose $192.98 -> $229.24 (+18.79%) on 4 units as supply thinned avg qty 6.0 -> 4.2 (-30.56%), also on a small baseline. Every count here is a handful of orders. Direction, not magnitude.

Top Decliners

Marvel Super Heroes Gift Bundle leads TCGPlayer decliners, VWAP $125.45 -> $94.90 (-24.35%) on 126 units, up from 46, across 105 orders and $11,957.35 in revenue. Do not read the price drop as demand walking away. This is a restock, and a big one: supply went avg qty 119.3 -> 445.0 (+273.08%) and sellers went 12.3 -> 47.1 (+282.24%) in a single week, which is why it carries a probable_restock_signal flag. Sell-through was 0.2831. A lot more product showed up, and the price found a lower level to clear it. Treat this as inventory arriving, not a demand event.

Marvel Super Heroes Commander Deck The Fantastic Four Collectors Edition fell on TCGPlayer, VWAP $152.30 -> $124.18 (-18.46%) on 54 units and $6,705.68 in revenue. This is the interesting one, because last week it was the four regular Commander decks that gave way, and this week the softening jumped to the surge-foil Collectors Editions. Supply built at avg qty 104.0 -> 121.1 (+16.38%) on a 0.4459 sell-through, so demand did not vanish, the premium did. Our sources point to a further Commander reprint wave around the end of July with clearer confirmation expected next week, and a premium edition bleeding first is what pre-reprint positioning tends to look like. I will hold my confidence there until the reprint is actually confirmed.

The Hobbit Prerelease Pack declined on TCGPlayer, VWAP $82.49 -> $67.63 (-18.02%) on 100 units, up from 35, across 81 orders and $6,762.74 in revenue. This is the same MagicCon reveal as the displays, seen from the seller side: listings more than doubled at avg qty 111.8 -> 254.4 (+127.61%), sellers rose 59.15%, and the whole thing carries a probable_restock_signal flag. The reveal pulled sellers in faster than buyers, and the price gave way at a 0.3931 sell-through. Treat the drop as preorder supply flooding in, not weakening demand.

Marvel Super Heroes Commander Deck Wakanda Forever Collectors Edition fell on TCGPlayer, VWAP $130.91 -> $109.56 (-16.31%) on 41 units and $4,491.99 in revenue. Same story as the Fantastic Four edition: supply built at avg qty 107.5 -> 127.8 (+18.87%) on a 0.3208 sell-through. The surge-foil premium is the part coming off, and it is coming off across the whole Collectors Edition line at once. That synchrony is the part worth watching.

Marvel Super Heroes Commander Deck Doom Prevails Collectors Edition declined on TCGPlayer, VWAP $210.48 -> $176.67 (-16.06%) on 78 units, up from 24, across 77 orders and $13,780.25 in revenue. This is the priciest of the Collectors Editions and the most cleared this week: more than three times the units at a materially lower price, supply up at avg qty 117.1 -> 130.7 (+11.59%), sell-through 0.5967, the healthiest of the three. If holders are clearing ahead of a reprint, a deck people still want at a high sell-through is exactly where you would expect the volume to show up.

The Hobbit Play Booster Display slipped on TCGPlayer, VWAP $182.90 -> $167.64 (-8.34%) on 1,380 units, up from 452, across 1,037 orders and $231,349.24 in revenue, the second-largest revenue line in the whole cohort. The price came down while the product turned over harder than anything else on the board: supply drained avg qty 638.3 -> 355.8 (-44.26%) at a 3.8790 sell-through. Price softening while inventory empties is what a preorder looks like when demand is enormous and sellers keep undercutting each other to lock in the sale before release. It is bullish on demand and bearish on price at the same time, which is the strange shape of a preorder market.

On Manapool, the declines are small and thin. Marvel Super Heroes Commander Deck Avengers Assemble (Manapool) eased $65.28 -> $55.00 (-15.75%) on 3 units, the Manapool echo of its TCGPlayer siblings. Secrets of Strixhaven Draft Night (Manapool) fell $78.98 -> $73.61 (-6.80%) as its listings drained avg qty 56.5 -> 40.7 (-28.02%). The Hobbit Play Booster Display (Manapool) dipped $176.81 -> $171.21 (-3.17%) on 56 units, though it carries probable_data_artifact and low_coverage_supply flags, so its Manapool supply figure is not reliable this week and I would not lean on it. Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart Booster Display (Manapool) slipped $174.18 -> $170.55 (-2.09%) while its listings rebuilt avg qty 10.2 -> 17.2 (+68.85%), the Manapool version of the Jumpstart restock showing up. And Lorwyn Eclipsed Play Booster Pack (Manapool) was effectively flat at $5.10 -> $5.01 (-1.80%). Small counts throughout.

Supply / Velocity Read-Through

The tightest inventory on TCGPlayer this week is mostly The Hobbit, and that is a preorder artifact rather than a crunch. When a set reveals and everyone buys in the same weekend, sales spike before the seller pool catches up, and the sell-through math runs hot. The Hobbit Play Booster Display turned over at 3.8790 against a draining shelf, the Collector Booster Display at 2.1919, the Bundle at 1.7680 on supply down 36.84%, the Scene Box Treasures of Smaug at 1.5660, and the Gift Bundle at 1.2561 even while its listings built 58.75%. Read those as demand intensity around the reveal, not scarcity.

The tightness that is actually about supply is carried straight over from last week. Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart Booster Display ran a 3.1813 sell-through, still turning over more than three times, but the supply line finally moved the way it was always going to: avg qty 55.1 -> 63.8 (+15.82%). The FINAL FANTASY collector tier kept draining on the single packs, the Collector Booster Pack down to avg qty 73.7 (-31.08%) and the Omega Pack down to 62.0 (-43.47%). Tarkir Dragonstorm Sultai Arisen held a 1.5701 sell-through at an average of 25.5 listings. And Marvel Super Heroes Collector Booster Display worked its own supply down, avg qty 249.7 -> 185.2 (-25.81%) at a 0.8152 sell-through, even while the Marvel play and prerelease overhang stayed heavy.

Tightest inventory on TCGPlayer: The Hobbit Play Booster Display (sell-through 3.8790 at avg qty 355.8, supply down 44.26%), Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart Booster Display (3.1813 at avg qty 63.8, supply up 15.82%), The Hobbit Collector Booster Display (2.1919 at avg qty 175.2), The Hobbit Bundle (1.7680 at avg qty 110.9, supply down 36.84%), Tarkir Dragonstorm Sultai Arisen (1.5701 at avg qty 25.5), and The Hobbit Scene Box Treasures of Smaug (1.5660 at avg qty 141.8). The Hobbit entries are preorder-driven, so read those sell-throughs as reveal-week demand rather than a lasting supply squeeze.

Heaviest inventory on TCGPlayer: Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Display (average listings 1,050.4, down 13.03%, but sell-through still 0.3999), Marvel Super Heroes Prerelease Pack (652.1), Marvel Super Heroes Bundle (650.0), Marvel’s Spider-Man Play Booster Display (560.0), and Lorwyn Eclipsed Play Booster Display (502.2). The Marvel play and prerelease overhang is still the largest pile in the dataset even as the collector tiers tighten around it.

Coverage was complete this week, 100% across 591 located sellers. Washington ran the seller map again at 10.5% of located supply, 11,677 units, with Seattle alone accounting for 9,072 of them, more than any entire state outside the top three. California followed at 8.7% (9,747 units), Florida at 7.7% (8,566), Idaho at 6.5% (7,285), New York at 6.2% (6,860), Texas at 4.8% (5,401), and Arizona at 4.4% (4,906). After Seattle, the busiest cities were Bayamon, Puerto Rico at 3,045 units, Quebec at 3,001, Liberty, Indiana at 2,886, and Kindred, North Dakota at 2,804.

Calculation Notes & Disclaimers

• Metrics are based on MTGsold internal sales/listing snapshots for the report window only.
• avg qty = average of daily inventory (most complete scrape per day, by seller coverage), not a sum of all intraday listings.
• sell-through = units sold this week / avg qty this week; values above 1 indicate inventory turned over multiple times.
• Percentage changes are week-over-week versus the prior-week baseline; very small baselines can exaggerate % moves.
• Listings are marketplace snapshots and may include relists, temporary removals, and scrape gaps, so flagged low-confidence moves should be treated cautiously.
• Marketplace sections are segmented to avoid cross-stream blending of metrics.
