You're listening to the MTG Sold Weekly podcast.

This is the week of June 22nd to June 28th, 2026.

0:08

(upbeat music)

0:10

Hey everyone, Marvel Superheroes released on Friday

0:14

and the market moved $1,952 on 7,688 units.

0:19

Revenue is essentially flat from last week,

0:24

down 0.6%, but units were up 12.5%.

0:28

That gap tells you something,

0:30

the mix shifted toward cheaper products

0:32

as the restock wave hit.

0:33

Release day itself spiked to 1,808 units,

0:37

around $219,755.

0:41

The rest of the week ran 934 to 122,6 units per day,

0:46

one big day, then back to normal.

0:48

Jumping into the headlines,

0:50

the restock hit the command index and it was not enough.

0:53

This is the part I find genuinely surprising.

0:55

Last week I flagged the vendors assemble at 41.8 average quantity

1:00

with a sell-through ratio of 3.86.

1:03

I said either the restock arrives

1:05

or this product reprices sharply.

1:07

The restock derived, supply grew 58% to 66.2 average quantity.

1:12

Sellers more than doubled from 7.9 to 16.1.

1:16

Price drops 6% to $71.23,

1:20

and the sell-through ratio is still 3.78.

1:24

I do not know what to do with that.

1:26

The restock came, prices came down,

1:29

and demand still absorbed nearly four times

1:31

the available inventory.

1:33

250 units across 248 orders,

1:37

almost entirely single copy purchases.

1:40

Doom prevails, got a similar restock,

1:44

supply up 60% to 87.3,

1:48

sellers up 83%.

1:50

Price dropped from $115.97

1:54

to $100.6.

1:55

Sell-through with a positive ratio of 3.27.

1:59

So 285 units on 285 orders, again mostly single copy.

2:04

So two products that are already crunching

2:06

at 3x last week received major supply injections

2:09

on release day.

2:09

Saw prices dropped 6 to $16,

2:12

and are still above a sell-through ratio of 3.0.

2:15

Either this demand level sustains

2:17

and the product climbs back

2:19

once the restock wave passes,

2:21

or the demand was front loaded and decelerates from here.

2:24

I leaned toward the former,

2:26

but I want one more week of data

2:28

before I commit to that.

2:29

Well, Kanna forever is the interesting contrast.

2:32

Last week I flagged the 55,

2:35

I'm sorry, 56.6% increase

2:38

as a thin liquidity artifact on 27 units.

2:41

This week confirms that read,

2:42

volume snapped back to 251 units,

2:45

and the price dropped 37% to $53.22,

2:49

as supply nearly doubled.

2:51

But sell-through is still positive at 1.12.

2:55

The restock repriced it and demand is still absorbing

2:57

above a sell-through ratio of 1 to 1.

3:00

At $53 with $224 of average, I'm sorry,

3:04

at $53 with $224 average quantity,

3:07

this product may have found its post-restock level.

3:10

Fantastic four dropped 20% to $54.76

3:15

on a supply growth of 85%,

3:17

still seeing a positive sell-through ratio of 1.62,

3:20

same pattern, the restock hit, price adjusted,

3:23

demand still absorbed it.

3:25

Jumpstart is the one product nobody can get.

3:28

Every other Marvel SKU saw supply grow 35% to 100%,

3:32

plus on release week.

3:34

Jumpstart lost 41% of its inventory.

3:37

Volume weighted average price went up 12.3%

3:40

to $128.57.

3:43

Sell-through hit are positive sell-through ratio of 3.83,

3:49

the highest in the data set.

3:51

Average quantity dropped from 88.9 to 52.2.

3:56

Sellers thinned from 17.6 to 14.9 average.

4:01

The Watsi and distributors supply crunch on jumpstart

4:04

is still in effect.

4:05

And on a week when distributors clearly had product

4:08

to push into the channel for everything else,

4:10

jumpstart did not get restocked.

4:12

That is a meaningful signal.

4:14

At 52.2 average quantity with nearly 4x sell-through,

4:18

one more week of the trajectory

4:20

puts available inventory below 40.

4:23

If sellers drop below 12,

4:25

individual sellers start controlling the price.

4:27

I think this is the most important product to watch right now.

4:30

Not because the price move is the biggest,

4:32

but because the supply mechanics are the tightest

4:35

and the constraint is external.

4:36

It's not about sellers holding back,

4:38

it's about product not reaching the market.

4:40

The Seamboxes continue to find no floor.

4:43

Both Seamboxes broke below $32.

4:46

Villains unleashed at $31.37

4:50

with 666 average quantity and a 0.10 sell-through.

4:55

Here was united at $31.49 with 620 average quantity

5:00

and a 0.13 sell-through.

5:05

Sellers roughly doubled on both.

5:08

That is two consecutive weeks of sub 0.15 sell-through

5:13

on growing supply.

5:14

At current velocity, the existing inventory

5:17

on villains unleashed alone

5:18

would take about 10 weeks to clear.

5:21

I do not see a demand for here yet.

5:23

Sub 28 is possible if nothing changes.

5:27

Follow-ups and in follow-ups,

5:31

desk more and endless punishment.

5:33

Average quantity ticked up to 31.2 from 28.3.

5:38

That breaks the five-week contraction streak

5:41

but sell-through improved to 0.86

5:44

and the price climbed 3.5% to $194.45.

5:49

The supply side may be stabilizing

5:51

while demand stays healthy.

5:53

This is actually a reusable place for the product to sit.

5:56

Tight enough to sustain the 190 plus price,

5:59

not so tight that one buys spikes it.

6:01

I think the thesis is closer resolving.

6:04

One more week and I'll call it either way.

6:06

The StrixAven Bundle, it's down 4.4% to $40.79.

6:13

Sell-through dropped to 0.21, supply grew 486.5.

6:19

Last week I said one more data point

6:22

under the 5% decline and I would call the floor.

6:26

The decline rate re-accelerated from a minus 3.3%

6:29

to a minus 4.4%.

6:31

So I was wrong, the floor is not $42.

6:35

It may be $38 to $40.

6:38

Keeping this active.

6:39

Chocobal Bundle, $286.18, down 2.1%,

6:45

first decline since the breakout.

6:48

Supply grew slightly to 104.9.

6:52

Sellers crossed above 50 to 54.6.

6:56

The breakout thesis held for four weeks

6:58

and this is the first test.

7:00

If it stays above 280 next week, 285,

7:04

290 is the equilibrium.

7:06

If it keeps sliding, maybe 292 is the ceiling, not the floor.

7:10

One new thread, the Avatar Collector Products,

7:13

both the Avatar Collector Booster Pack

7:16

and display both saw an increase of over 10%.

7:20

They both gained on contracting supply and declining sellers.

7:24

Neither has had huge volume, 26 and 27 units respectively,

7:28

but pack level and box level tightening,

7:30

moving in the same direction at the same time,

7:32

is worth noting.

7:34

At $410 per display, the buyer pool is full of committed

7:38

collectors who tend not to exit quickly.

7:41

I'm flaking this as a new tracking thread.

7:43

If both continue tightening next week,

7:45

the pair becomes a more serious story.

7:48

What to watch next week?

7:51

One, Jumpstart Booster displays are at an average of 52.2

7:55

quantity. If it drops below 40, this is a genuine scarcity

8:00

on $129 product doing 25K in weekly revenue.

8:04

Seller count below 12 is the trip wire.

8:08

Two, Commander Deck price stabilization.

8:11

Wakanda forever at $53, fantastic for it $55,

8:15

both above 1.0 sell through.

8:18

If supply growth slows, these prices hold.

8:21

If another restock wave hits, they could drift towards $45.50.

8:25

Three, Seen boxes, sub $32 with 600 plus average inventory

8:30

and a sub 0.15 ratio for sell through for two consecutive weeks.

8:36

Sub $28 is on the table if this continues.

8:39

Four, Chocobo bundle, first decline, $200, $280 is a support level.

8:45

Below that, the breakout thesis needs revisiting.

8:48

And five, Avatar Collector Products.

8:53

If both pack and display continue tightening on supply and price next week,

8:57

this is a real thread.

8:58

If one reverses, it was noise.

9:01

That's it.

9:02

Release week date is in the full report on MTG Soul.

9:05

See you next week.
