Set index: this set's basket, equal weighted, set to 100 on Aug 5, 2026, the first day enough of its cards passed the liquidity gate. Value weight: the same basket, each card weighted by its price. Chart changes show the percent move and the change in index points.

Set value: one copy of each priced card at its PriceCharting price. Base set value: cards numbered up to the printed total. Market figures use PriceCharting prices only, so cards priced only by other sources appear on the checklist but are not counted here.
