Real assets: the week's hammer prices
The auction houses delivered 42 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 | 41 | $4,200 | Crystal Charizard #146 — Skyridge (2003) 10 Aug 2026 | $102,000 |
| Classic cars | 1 | $320,000 | Porsche 911 Turbo (993) — 1995–1998 11 Aug 2026 | $320,000 |
No sale was recorded in watches this week – the most recent one is 62 days back.
The trading-card price index stands at 538.1 (as of 10 August 2026), +251.9 % 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 1 May 2026, 105 days before this review. United States (Case-Shiller) +1.1 % year on year. Germany +1.4 % year on year. Euro area +4.6 % year on year.
