Real assets: the week's hammer prices
The week produced 59 new hammer prices. 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 |

Nothing was sold at auction in watches over the week. The last sale on file is 8 days old.
The trading-card price index stands at 604.5 (as of 21 September 2026), +234.3 % against a year ago. It measures price changes of the same good, unlike a median, which is made up of different items every week.
