What this is
Resale price of Japanese “Abyss Eye” boxes, the first 200-yen-a-pack set, against the 6,000 yen list: 2.4 times at release in May 2026, 1.4 times by October.
How it’s built
- Took monthly flea-market resale prices from PRICE BASE, a Japanese card reseller: ¥14,500 at release, ¥9,500 a month later, ¥8,200 five months later.
- Divided each by the ¥6,000 list price.
What we assumed
- Flea-market sold prices represent the resale market.It is a reseller’s survey of sold listings; the research has no other monthly Japanese series.
Sanity check
The 35% drop in the first month is slightly steeper than for 2023–25 sets (23–32%). One set, so it shows whether the higher pack price changed the pattern, not a rule.
