Chaos Rising
Pokemon · sealed booster box
It trades at $197, 29% below its 1-year high of $276. It's down 16.1% over 90 days, but the last week ticked up — possibly finding a floor. The tell is supply: active eBay listings are down 16% over 60 days. Fewer sellers into a firm price is the setup this system is built to catch. The cards inside are worth about $825, or 4.2× the box price. Read: well below its high - room to run.

Called off
Ratings we pulled this week. Publishing these is the point — a signal service that only prints its winners is marketing, not a track record.
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.
