Weekly Report (Oct 26 - Nov 1, 2026): A $2.12M Week, a 72-Box Whale, and a Correction: This Week in MTG Sales

Hey, it's the MTG Sold Weekly Podcast.

This one covers October 26th through November 1st, 2026, and there's a lot going on,

so let's get going.

Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.

It's continuing mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations

to both ago when no one has gone before.

Before we get into it, a quick note for anyone building tools in the Magic Space.

MTG Sold collects a pretty large amount of sales and supply data, and I make that dataset

available for free to people who actually want to build something with it.

That includes sales volume, supply data, and the underlying historical data I use for

a lot of the analysis on the show.

I don't really advertise it.

The documentation is just sitting there at MTG Sold.com/docs, and that's intentional.

If you make it that far, read through it, and have an idea and want to access the data,

shoot me an email at [email protected].

There's no API subscription I'm trying to sell you.

If you're building something useful and the MTG Sold data can help, I'm generally happy

to provide it.

That's MTG Sold.com/docs.

D-O-C-S.

Patrick Stewart died this week.

If you grew up with Star Trek, you probably grew up with Picard.

And I don't really have anything profound to add to that.

Thank you, Sir Patrick Stewart.

Stewart signed the Captain Jean-Luc Picard headliner in the Star Trek set.

Wizards printed seven signed headliner cards, fewer than 250 copies of each, and the only

place you can pull one is a Star Trek collector booster box.

At 4pm Eastern on October 29th, buying broke across every Star Trek product on TCG player

at the same time.

The Star Trek collector booster display sold 288 boxes in that one hour.

By the end of the day, it was 567 boxes, about $287,000 across 397 separate sales.

And none of them was bigger than 10 boxes.

So you're not looking at one whale clearing a shelf.

You're looking at a few hundred people making the same decision on the same afternoon.

For the three days before that, sellers had been marking the Star Trek collector booster

display down.

The median asking price went from about $546 to about $503,000, all the shelf grew to $653.

The October 29th rush cleared the whole cheap layer.

The next day, the cheapest Star Trek collector booster display on TCG player was $573.

And the gaming company, which had 167 boxes sitting at 484, moved every one of them to $585.

So the news undid the markdown.

Asking prices ended above where they started the week, but still under the roughly 605,

the box was averaged two weeks ago.

So this isn't a new high, and the week's average sale actually came down about 7% at $526,

because the cheap boxes are the ones that sold.

My guess is some mix of collectors buying into the one product that carries his signed Picard

card, and stores pulling their cheapest listings the moment they saw the floor move.

Those data can't tell you which, either way, if you're waiting for a $480 Star Trek collector

booster display, that box is gone.

Starting this week, our total count every sale we track.

Until now, they only included products selling at least 20 units in both that week and the

week before, which left out a lot of smaller and newer products.

So older episodes don't really line up with this one.

October 12th to the 18th, counted the new way, comes to about 1.26 million against the

756,000 reported then.

The product level numbers are not affected.

So with everything counted, TCG player did about 2.12 million this week on 15,425 units,

up 47% on the week before.

October 29th alone was about $600,000, 28% of the week.

Star Trek, the set and its commander decks together, went from 25% of revenue to 46%.

The Star Trek collector booster display by itself was about $524,000, a quarter of TCG players

week on one product.

The set and its commander decks, the set and its commander decks, were about $160,000

on 1,247 units, up 40%, and the Star Trek collector booster display moved there too.

70 sales from 29.

And the week we skipped, October 19th to the 25th, TCG player did about 1.44 million,

up 14%.

Star Trek share went from 8% to 25, and Hasbro reported magics first $600,000,000, our editorial

on that call has the rest if you missed it.

The Star Trek play booster display got the same October 29th rush, 242 boxes that day,

and 926 for the week, and its shelf still finished the week bigger than it started, about 783

boxes listed on average against 587 the week before.

The price kept sliding to about $126 a box, which is 40% under what 30 Star Trek playboosters

cost at the $699 sticker.

The Star Trek collector booster display meanwhile sits 15% over its pack price.

One shelf emptied and the other one barely noticed.

If you were stocking, play booster displays for release, you don't need to hurry.

The Star Trek commander decks are the strange one.

They still do after release in North America, and people bought them anyway.

The Star Trek Commander deck case sold 354 from 32 units.

The Star Trek Commander deck we are the Borg sold 480 from 80 units.

Sellers answered with more listings and lower asking prices.

The Star Trek Commander deck landing party, that shelf, grew from 367 units to 521, and its

price fell 13%.

The exception is the RER the Borg collectors edition from the same Star Trek Commander line,

70 sold, and the price held flat at about $204.

And its the tightest shelf on all of TCG player.

So unless that's the Star Trek deck you want, I'd like the asking prices keep coming down

for you.

Last time I asked whether the delayed reality fracture secret layer bundle stock would

drag the price toward its $8.99.

The stock showed up, sellers won from 15 to 78, and the price came down about 15% to $145.

That's still 61% over sticker with 78 sellers setting it.

So the premium is real, at least until Wizards own Chaos Vault Order start shipping November

19th.

The reality fracture collector booster display broke the $417 floor.

I asked about it and its low-ask is $357 now, but one order on October 30 took 72 reality

fracture collector booster displays at 350, which is a fifth of its week.

Same thing on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Commander deck turtle power, it's the top

to Cliner, down 21%, and 95 of its 226 sales were one cart at 37.99.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles power, shelf behind that order got more expensive, with

the median ass going from $60 to $65.

And I was wrong about Tramposaurus Rex.

I told you the Foundations Commander refill would pull it down, two weeks later the Commander

deck, Tramposaurus Rex is still double its 29.99 sticker on a flat shelf.

The other two Foundations Commander decks gave back a little.

Rex did not, and I'd stop waiting for it too.

Next week, Star Trek pre-relius event start November 6th, and I want to see whether the Star

Trek collector booster display holds $565.

Then on November 9th, Wizards opens set phasers to Super Drop, the Star Trek layer drops

4 days before the November 13th release.

That's Star Trek money that could go somewhere other than sealed, and I'll be watching

whether the Star Trek Playbooster display shelf finally starts to shrink.

Thanks for listening, and I'll see you after pre-release weekend.
