1,471 fresh slabs in 30 days is doing most of the lifting here. Submission volume is weighted hardest because it costs money, and this catalog is drawing plenty of it. On pure card value the case is closed, since Gengar (Reverse Holo) (Generations) runs $4,976 as a PSA 10 on PriceCharting. Nobody on the swept forums said the name in the last two weeks. The meter treats that silence honestly, so the reading rests on the market components alone.

THE ARTIST
Saya Tsuruta hides a Poke Ball in the background of almost every card she paints. Collectors treat her catalog like a 130 card puzzle hunt, which would be gimmick enough if she were not also a Game Freak designer with credits running from Diamond and Pearl through Sword and Shield, including the designs for Audino, Goomy, Goodra, and Indeedee.
A Tama Art University graduate, she has been on the card side since Secret Wonders, starting with a Lotad. Her favorite Pokemon is Vulpix. Find the Poke Ball first, then check.
