Methodology: sealed prices are TCGplayer lows from the TCGCSV daily archive; EV recomputes each set's full collation model against that day's singles prices. Pre-release sealed and singles data are omitted from charts — TCGplayer lows before product ships are often inflated placeholder listings. No price archive exists before February 8, 2024.
