Real Assets: New Hammer Prices
Since September 24, 2026, 61 new hammer prices were added. There is no daily close here: trading happens when a lot is called, and only then does a price exist.
| Asset class | Records | Median | Highest hammer price | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trading cards | 58 | $8,250 | Entei #6 · Neo Revelation 1st Edition (2001) Sep 28, 2026 | $312,000 |
| Classic cars | 3 | $85,000 | Porsche 911 Turbo (930) · 1975–1989 Sep 26, 2026 | $161,000 |
Median = the middle hammer price among this window's records, not the value of a fixed position. It moves simply because different items come up for sale each week. The price index below avoids exactly this composition effect. Prices are hammer prices including the buyer's premium.
Nothing was sold at auction in watches in this window. The last sale on file is 14 days old (September 17, 2026). Where trading is rare and expensive, gaps like this belong to the market rather than to a failed fetch.
The trading-card price index stands at 621.0, +243.1% against a year ago (base 100 at the first quarter covered, as of September 28, 2026). It measures price changes of the same good rather than the median of a changing offer. Against the previous reading (June 29, 2026) that is +10.4%, a quarterly figure rather than a daily one.
Residential Property: An Official Index, Not a Hammer Price
For residential property there are no individual sales to report: prices there are formed in statistics, not under the hammer. The latest available reading is July 1, 2026, 92 days before this report. The gap reflects the publication lag of the sources rather than missing data.
| Series | Level | Prior print | 1 year |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States (Case-Shiller) Jul 1, 2026 | 337.3 | +0.1% | +2.3% |
| Germany Jun 30, 2026 | 153.5 | +0.3% | +0.6% |
| Euro area Jun 30, 2026 | 158.8 | +1.0% | +3.8% |
