A 2023 Finalist Foil Just Nearly Doubled in a Month, and the System Isn't Done Buying
Crocodile's Offline Regional 2023 finalist card is up 63.6% this week and 96.6% over the month, and it's one of the rare cards our system is still flagging as a buy.
Some cards spike and cool off. Crocodile just kept going.
![Crocodile (Offline Regional 2023) [Finalist]](https://eqqbnafuxciluxqemrif.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/mirror/8f/8f2b85ea6807a8334be76a6e74dd7db3e5c611bc.jpg)
The Offline Regional 2023 [Finalist] version of Crocodile sits at A$198.76 today, up 63.6% over the past week and a whopping 96.6% over the past month, meaning this vintage tournament stamp has essentially doubled since late June. That's the kind of run that usually earns a HOLD from our system just on general caution, but Crocodile is still carrying an ACCUMULATE flag. For context, our backtesting shows ACCUMULATE-stamped cards have historically been higher eight weeks later about three times out of four, and our system only keeps that flag on when there's still room to run below the card's prior peak, no overheating red flags here, even after a near-double.
Today's top moves
Monkey.D.Luffy (OP16-052) rocketed 56.2% this week but sits at just 4.3% over 30 days and still carries only a HOLD, a textbook case of our system's overheating check refusing to chase a vertical spike, even a legitimately impressive one.
"The One Who Is the Most Free Is the Pirate King!!!" is up 55.6% on the week and 139.5% on the month, and unlike the Luffy above, this one kept its ACCUMULATE tag, the gain has been grinding, not spiking.
Viola climbed 46.4% this week (47.4% over the month) and holds ACCUMULATE too, now sitting at A$53.44.
Otama (alt art, OP07-022) is the quiet giant of the week, up 43.9% in seven days but a staggering 278.6% over the last 30, now priced at A$46.72, and still just a HOLD.
Elsewhere, the Best Selection Vol. 6 promo line took a beating, Saint Mjosgard, Sanji (ST21-003), and Jewelry Bonney (Judge Pack Vol. 7) all landed on SELL WATCH again today, extending losses that were already deep in the last report. Our data shows SELL WATCH cards have historically fallen a further 10.7% median within four weeks, so that shelf isn't one we'd be catching falling knives on.
No major set releases or events on our radar for the days ahead, just a market sorting winners from overheated pretenders.
Stay sharp out there, collectors.
