A no-feet Superman prototype PEZ dispenser from Brian Trauman's world-record collection hammered at $6,000 with a $7,320 total at Goldin's Pop Culture Elite auction. Featured on King of Collectibles Season 3.
The only PSA 10 Illustrator Pikachu just sold for $16.49 million at Goldin. But the Polymarket bets, the Liquid Marketplace wreckage, and the grading questions tell a bigger story.
Leonard Williams just won a Super Bowl. Amber Glenn just won Olympic gold. Both are serious MTG Commander players. Magic's mainstream moment is here.
The franchise that taught a generation to catch 'em all is now a $288 billion empire where adults camp outside Walmart before kids wake up for school.
With PSA's parent company owning three of the four major graders and prices climbing every six months, collectors are trapped in a duopoly that keeps getting more expensive.
Playmates mashes up two 80s juggernauts in its final year with the TMNT license. NECA turns Scrooge McDuck into a premium collectible. Toy Fair keeps proving the real money is in selling childhoods back to adults.
From Manhattan smash-and-grabs to Anaheim tunnel jobs, trading card shops are being targeted like jewelry stores. Because that's what they are.
The most sought-after collectible in each space. Real auction prices from Heritage, Goldin, and verified sales.
