Weekly Report (May 18–24, 2026)
Weekly Market Pulse
TCGPlayer sealed moved 5,123 units across 4,138 orders this week for $713,226 in total revenue, down 7.6% in units and 2.2% in revenue from last week’s 5,542 units and $729,624. Fewer units but a smaller revenue dip means average transaction value climbed: buyers leaned into higher-ticket products.
Secrets of Strixhaven claimed three of the top six revenue slots. The Collector Booster Display led at $80,522 (184 units, VWAP $437.62), followed by the Codex Bundle at $71,635 (540 units, VWAP $132.66). Marvel Super Heroes Collector Booster Display held third at $66,915 on 142 units. The week’s highest per-unit price belongs to FINAL FANTASY Collector Booster Display at VWAP $1,154.97 on just 30 units ($34,649 revenue), continuing to trade at a steep premium. Daily volume tapered from a 998-unit Monday ($127.7K) down to 705 units on Saturday ($89.9K), a typical weekday-front-loaded pattern.

Top Gainers
Secrets of Strixhaven Codex Bundle leads TCGPlayer gainers with VWAP $115.05 -> $132.66 (+15.31%) on 540 units and $71,635 in revenue across 473 orders. This one carries a probable restock flag: avg qty 175.6 -> 739.4 (+321.05%) and sellers 33.4 -> 134.6 (+303.08%), consistent with a wave of distributor-level inventory hitting the market. Despite that supply flood, sell-through held at 0.7303, meaning demand absorbed nearly three-quarters of new listings. The price gain in the face of that much new supply is a strong demand signal, but treat the percentage move with some caution given the structural shift in the supply picture.
Lorwyn Eclipsed Commander Decks Set of 2 gained VWAP $48.37 -> $55.06 (+13.84%) on 38 units and $2,092 in revenue. Supply edged down with avg qty 191.5 -> 166.5 (-13.05%) and sellers holding flat at 41.7 -> 40.0 (-3.89%). Sell-through of 0.2282 is moderate, so this isn’t a velocity play, but the price appreciation on a tightening supply base is a clean signal. Small unit volume means fewer data points, and the move could reverse quickly if a few sellers reprice.
Bloomburrow Commander Deck Peace Offering rose VWAP $73.37 -> $83.09 (+13.25%) on 37 units ($3,074 revenue). The story here is sell-through: 0.8643, one of the highest in the cohort. Listings grew from avg qty 29.6 -> 42.8 (+44.77%) and sellers from 16.4 -> 21.8 (+32.61%), but demand nearly matched the new supply. A smaller product by volume, but the tight absorption ratio supports the price move. Worth closing the loop: last week’s writeup flagged this as a supply-crunch setup with sell-through at 1.28 and shrinking inventory. The restock arrived — avg qty climbed back to 42.8 and sell-through dropped to 0.86. Price gained anyway, which is a different (and weaker) signal than the tightening thesis we were watching.
Duskmourn House of Horror Commander Deck Endless Punishment moved VWAP $150.10 -> $166.79 (+11.12%) on 31 units ($5,170 revenue). Supply is contracting: avg qty 57.0 -> 51.7 (-9.22%) with sellers pulling back from 34.2 -> 29.8 (-13.04%). Sell-through at 0.5996 means roughly 60% of new supply gets absorbed. Rising price, falling inventory, and a shrinking seller count is a textbook tightening pattern.
Secrets of Strixhaven Commander Deck Prismari Artistry gained VWAP $34.14 -> $37.83 (+10.82%) on 69 units ($2,610 revenue). Avg qty expanded from 180.7 -> 216.3 (+19.72%) with sellers 47.2 -> 52.6 (+11.44%), so supply is growing modestly alongside the price increase. Sell-through of 0.3189 is decent but not remarkable. This looks like new-set demand lifting the broader Strixhaven commander lineup, though the supply growth could cap further upside if velocity doesn’t pick up.
Magic The Gathering Foundations Starter Collection gained VWAP $50.61 -> $56.05 (+10.75%) on 25 units ($1,401 revenue). Only 4 orders produced those 25 units, meaning most sales were multi-unit bulk purchases. Avg qty 79.8 -> 88.3 (+10.73%), sellers 21.0 -> 22.9, sell-through 0.2831. The low order count makes this a low-confidence mover: a single large buyer can skew the VWAP significantly at this volume.
On Manapool, Wilds of Eldraine Set Booster Pack (Manapool) led gainers with VWAP $11.30 -> $16.37 (+44.87%) on just 4 units, a small sample and low confidence. Modern Horizons 3 Commander Deck Eldrazi Incursion (Manapool) rose VWAP $121.66 -> $136.02 (+11.80%) on 3 units. Duskmourn House of Horror Commander Deck Endless Punishment (Manapool) gained VWAP $138.78 -> $151.47 (+9.14%) on 4 units with sell-through of 0.3590, echoing the TCGPlayer gain for the same product. Bloomburrow Play Booster Display (Manapool) moved VWAP $144.47 -> $157.36 (+8.93%) on 8 units. Tarkir Dragonstorm Commander Deck Abzan Armor (Manapool) edged up VWAP $40.54 -> $42.96 (+5.97%) on 3 units. All Manapool movers involve single-digit unit counts; treat percentage moves as directional signals, not confirmed trends.
Top Decliners
Edge of Eternities Commander Deck World Shaper dropped VWAP $44.09 -> $37.46 (-15.03%) on 65 units ($2,435 revenue), the steepest decliner in the TCGPlayer cohort this week. Supply is essentially flat: avg qty 206.9 -> 214.6 (+3.76%), sellers 55.7 -> 58.4 (+4.96%). Sell-through of 0.3028 is moderate. The price erosion with stable supply suggests weakening buyer conviction rather than a listing flood.
Edge of Eternities Commander Deck Counter Intelligence fell VWAP $34.11 -> $29.25 (-14.24%) on 100 units ($2,925 revenue, 56 orders). Avg qty pulled back slightly from 254.1 -> 236.0 (-7.10%) while sellers grew from 75.1 -> 83.2 (+10.81%). Sell-through at 0.4236 is actually respectable, and 100 units is decent volume, but the price kept sliding. Two Edge of Eternities commander decks in the top two decliner spots points to broader softening across that set’s commander lineup.
Secrets of Strixhaven Commander Deck Witherbloom Pestilence declined VWAP $49.41 -> $43.22 (-12.54%) on 116 units ($5,013 revenue, 104 orders). Supply expanded notably with avg qty 206.5 -> 276.8 (+34.00%) and sellers 53.7 -> 63.2 (+17.83%). Sell-through of 0.4192 shows demand is present but not keeping pace with the inventory buildup. A new-set commander deck finding its price level as distribution catches up.
Secret of Strixhaven Bundle dropped VWAP $66.22 -> $59.08 (-10.78%) on 71 units ($4,195 revenue, 53 orders). Supply metrics tell the story: avg qty 137.0 -> 200.1 (+46.04%) and sellers nearly doubled from 32.0 -> 55.7 (+73.74%). Sell-through of 0.3547 can’t keep up with that kind of inventory growth. Like the Codex Bundle, this looks like a wave of distributor stock hitting shelves, but unlike the Codex Bundle, buyers aren’t bidding the price up through it.
Secrets of Strixhaven Draft Night eased VWAP $84.66 -> $76.98 (-9.08%) on 125 units ($9,622 revenue, 78 orders). Avg qty grew from 206.1 -> 239.2 (+16.04%), sellers from 39.8 -> 45.3 (+13.70%). Sell-through at 0.5227 is healthy, with over half of new supply absorbed, but the growing listing count and seller base are putting downward pressure on price. At 125 units and $9.6K revenue, this is the highest-dollar decliner in the group.
Lorwyn Eclipsed Commander Deck Dance of the Elements slid VWAP $32.30 -> $29.43 (-8.88%) on 64 units ($1,884 revenue, 15 orders). Only 15 orders for 64 units means heavy multi-unit purchasing. Avg qty 327.2 -> 377.4 (+15.34%) and sellers 76.2 -> 93.2 (+22.25%). This product has a deep supply pool and it’s getting deeper. Sell-through of 0.1696 is among the lowest in the cohort, with less than 17% of new supply absorbed.
On Manapool, Secrets of Strixhaven Commander Deck Witherbloom Pestilence (Manapool) led decliners with VWAP $58.11 -> $47.25 (-18.69%) on 29 units, paralleling the TCGPlayer decline for the same product. Secrets of Strixhaven Commander Deck Lorehold Spirit (Manapool) fell VWAP $46.48 -> $38.82 (-16.47%) on 4 units. Secrets of Strixhaven Codex Bundle (Manapool) dropped VWAP $149.04 -> $128.77 (-13.60%) on 55 units with sell-through of 0.3581, an interesting contrast with the TCGPlayer gainer for the same product. Bloomburrow Play Booster Pack (Manapool) dipped VWAP $6.08 -> $5.43 (-10.63%) on 18 units. Edge of Eternities Play Booster Pack (Manapool) fell VWAP $7.65 -> $6.88 (-10.07%) on 6 units.
Supply / Velocity Read-Through
The TCGPlayer supply picture this week is dominated by Secrets of Strixhaven distribution hitting full stride. Multiple Strixhaven products saw significant inventory and seller count growth, with the Codex Bundle’s avg qty more than quadrupling and the Bundle’s seller count nearly doubling. For products that absorbed the new supply well (Codex Bundle at sell-through 0.7303), prices held or gained. For those that didn’t (Witherbloom Pestilence at 0.4192, Bundle at 0.3547), prices eroded. Marvel Super Heroes Collector Booster Display is the tightest product in the cohort with sell-through above 1.0, meaning demand outstripped new supply. On the other end, Edge of Eternities commander decks are showing flat-to-growing supply with weakening demand, suggesting the post-launch premium has faded and these products are settling into a more competitive price range.
| Product | Sell-Through | Avg Qty | Supply Δ | Sellers Δ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marvel Super Heroes Coll Booster… | 1.1563 | 122.8 | -38.06% | -28.72% |
Marvel Super Heroes Collector Booster Display posted sell-through 1.1563 with avg qty 122.8 on TCGPlayer, meaning more units sold than new listings appeared, indicating net inventory draw-down. Bloomburrow Commander Deck Peace Offering ran sell-through 0.8643 on a smaller base. Duskmourn Commander Deck Endless Punishment showed contracting supply (avg qty down 9.22%, sellers down 13.04%) with sell-through at 0.5996.
Secrets of Strixhaven Codex Bundle saw avg qty 175.6 -> 739.4 (+321.05%) with sellers 33.4 -> 134.6 (+303.08%) on TCGPlayer, a major restock wave. Secret of Strixhaven Bundle grew avg qty 137.0 -> 200.1 (+46.04%) with sellers nearly doubling. Lorwyn Eclipsed Commander Deck Dance of the Elements carries 377.4 avg listings with sell-through of just 0.1696, one of the deepest and slowest-moving supply pools in the cohort.
The Pacific Northwest continues to dominate TCGPlayer sealed supply, with Washington (15.2%), Idaho (12.8%), and Oregon (6.9%) combining for 34.9% of all listed quantity. Seattle alone accounts for 13,759 units and Coeur d’Alene, ID contributes 8,106. Together those two cities hold more inventory than any individual state outside the top three. New York (7.5%) and California (6.9%) round out the traditional hubs. Canadian sellers maintain presence through Quebec (3.6%, largely from Quebec City at 3,275 units) and Ontario (0.8%). Coverage sits at 100% across 466 located sellers.
Secrets of Strixhaven Codex Bundle carries a probable restock signal. The 321% jump in avg listing quantity and 303% jump in seller count suggests distributor-level inventory arriving rather than organic market activity. The price gain is real, but the supply context is structurally different from a normal week. Foundations Starter Collection produced 25 units from only 4 orders, meaning a small number of bulk purchases drove the VWAP; treat its +10.75% gain as low-confidence. All Manapool movers involve single-digit unit counts and should be treated as directional signals only.
Opinionated Takeaways
The Codex Bundle Absorbed a Supply Tsunami
The Codex Bundle soaked up a quadrupling of listed supply and still gained 15% on VWAP. When distribution channels flood a product and the price goes up, it usually means genuine demand was bottlenecked by availability. The 0.7303 sell-through on 739 avg listings confirms buyers were waiting. I’d expect the price to stabilize or pull back slightly now that supply access has normalized, but the demand floor looks solid.
Edge of Eternities Commander Decks Are Finding Their Floor
Two EoE commander decks leading the decliner board with double-digit drops, while supply stays flat, suggests the post-launch premium is washing out. Counter Intelligence at $29.25 and World Shaper at $37.46 are approaching the range where casual buyers start picking them up. I wouldn’t chase the decline; these look closer to a floor than the start of a sustained slide.
Marvel Super Heroes Collector Booster Display Is Drawing Down
Sell-through above 1.0 with only 122.8 avg listings means this product is depleting faster than it restocks. At VWAP $471.24 it’s not cheap, but the supply dynamic is the most bullish in the cohort right now. If sell-through stays above 1.0 for another week or two, expect a price move upward.
A Softer Week, Not a Troubled One
A 7.6% drop in units and 2.2% drop in revenue is noticeable but not alarming. Last week likely benefited from Strixhaven launch energy that naturally cools. Average transaction value actually increased, suggesting the buyer base is healthy but shopping more selectively. Nothing in this week’s data signals a demand-side problem across the broader sealed market.
What To Watch Next Week
Secrets of Strixhaven Codex Bundle supply absorption: the restock wave pushed avg qty past 739. If sell-through holds above 0.70 and price stays above $130 next week, the demand base is confirmed. If sell-through drops below 0.50 with all that supply sitting there, expect the price to come in.
Marvel Super Heroes Collector Booster Display inventory: sell-through above 1.0 is unsustainable unless new supply arrives. Watch whether avg qty drops below 100. That would signal accelerating scarcity and a likely price adjustment upward.
Edge of Eternities commander deck pricing: World Shaper and Counter Intelligence are down 15% and 14% respectively. If they stabilize near current levels next week, they’re finding a floor. Another 10%+ drop would suggest a longer-term value decline for the set’s commander products.

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.
