Real Assets: The Week's Hammer Prices
The auction houses delivered 60 records this week. Real assets are not quoted continuously. Trading happens when a lot is called. What follows is therefore not a weekly return but the sum of what actually changed hands.
| Asset class | Records | Median | Highest hammer price | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trading cards | 57 | $8,100 | Entei #6 · Neo Revelation 1st Edition (2001) Sep 28, 2026 | $312,000 |
| Classic cars | 3 | $87,500 | Porsche 911 Turbo (930) · 1975–1989 Sep 26, 2026 | $161,000 |
No hammer price came in for watches in the past week. The latest record is 15 days old.
The trading-card price index stands at 621.0 (as of September 28, 2026), +243.1% against a year ago. It measures price changes of the same good, unlike a median, which is made up of different items every week.
Residential property has no weekly figure: the latest official reading is from July 1, 2026, 93 days before this review. United States (Case-Shiller) +2.3% year on year. Germany +0.6% year on year. Euro area +3.8% year on year.
