A Cheap Promo Triples Overnight, and the Board Still Won't Chase It
For Fun rocketed 330% this week and stayed a HOLD, a reminder that our system cares more about room to run than raw speed.
The card of the day isn't a chase rare, it's a budget promo that more than quadrupled in a week and still can't get an ACCUMULATE stamp out of the system.
For Fun, the OP14-037 promo from Best Selection Vol. 6, went from pocket change to A$23.12 this week, up 330.3%. That is the kind of move that gets a collector's heart racing, but our board kept it at HOLD. That's the overheating check doing its job: when a card spikes almost straight up with no room left below its prior peak, the system treats it as a card to watch rather than a card to buy. Historically, dip-buying into moves like this has been a losing game in this market, so the caution here is earned, not stubborn.
Today's top moves
Carne (OP03-045) is right behind it, up 257.1% this week and 280.2% over the month to A$14.14, another small riser getting a big crowd.
The Gold Luffy from OP05-119 remains the heavyweight of the week, sitting at A$18,384.60 after a 205.9% climb that matches its monthly gain almost tick for tick, still parked on HOLD.
The humble ST01-012 Luffy starter card nearly doubled, up 95.6% to A$18.17, proof that starter deck staples aren't immune to sudden collector attention.

Sanji from the 2023 Online Regional finalist run climbed 64.7% to A$465.91, and Edward Newgate's OP16 alt art matched that same 64.7% pace to land at A$53.03.
Beneath the headline gainers, the board stayed mostly calm today: 5,416 cards sitting on HOLD against 742 on SELL WATCH and 553 on ACCUMULATE. The promo bleed from Round 1's lineup hasn't fully stopped either, with several of those cards still down double digits on the week, so if you're holding those, patience is still the word.
Big weekly numbers don't always mean it's time to buy, sometimes the smartest move is watching the chart with your wallet closed.
