Paramount War
One Piece · sealed booster box
It trades at $603 — right at its 1-year high. It's up 15.6% over 90 days, though the pace has cooled lately. The tell is supply: active eBay listings are down 26% over 60 days. Fewer sellers into a firm price is the setup this system is built to catch. The cards inside are worth about $3,120, or 5.2× the box price. Read: breaking out above its range.

The supply desk
Active eBay listing counts over a 60-day window — the measure almost nobody else publishes. Falling supply into a firm price is the setup; rising supply is the warning.

The Weekly is written automatically from ChopArm's own logs the morning it publishes, and archived unchanged — what you are reading is exactly what it said that Monday. Ratings are logged when they fire and graded against what the market does next. Informational only — not financial advice, and not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
