Absolute Batman #1 Dragotta 9.8 around $600 and Jim Lee cardstock 1st print 9.8 around $400. both have been running, but a real nice breakout since animated series announcement with other prominent keys or covers in series.
The best-selling launch of 2024 is turning into the modern key of 2026.

Sometimes volume doesn't tell the whole story.
So we built two new NFT signals into TheCollective:
🔹 WALLET ACCUMULATION — same wallet buying 3+ times in 7 days, from real @opensea sale events
🔹 BID WALL — committed capital sitting under the floor (real offers, not asks)
Right now the board shows a 64 ETH wall under BAYC's floor — 7.6× the floor price from 7 distinct bidders.
That's the difference between a floor that's being propped and a floor that's held.

We obviously know this is to discourage immediate resale, but If this test expands, and we still have to see if it does, then existing factory-sealed product becomes the scarcer article in this. Sealed collectors are probably watching relatively closely even in a test run.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Following unprecedented demand for yesterday’s 2025-26 Topps Chrome Update Basketball pre-order, we’re working to provide collectors a chance to open packs at retail price.
For Friday’s Topps Chrome Update Basketball Mega Box pre-order on our website, all boxes will ship with the plastic seal fully removed.
While the cards and contents inside remain untouched, removing the factory seal helps discourage the immediate resale and gives more collectors an opportunity to purchase at retail.
This initial test is part of a larger program working to ensure that more collectors can buy the products they love at retail prices.
We want you to know that we are working tirelessly to make the collecting experience as enjoyable as possible for everyone… From first-time buyers to life-long collectors, and everyone in between.
📦 Bowman Chrome Baseball hobby boxes: $300 median, +17.6% vs prior — 11 live comps
📦 MTG Bloomburrow Play Box: $190, +11.8%
When something like wax moves before cards do, someone usually sees something.

Sony’s shift toward digital could make sealed physical games one of the next overlooked collectibles. 📈
Once print runs end, supply only goes one direction.
By the time everyone starts calling them “rare,” the opportunity is usually gone.
🎮 Signal: Accumulate sealed PlayStation titles.
