Real assets: the week's hammer prices

The week produced 2 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.

No sale was recorded in trading cards this week – the most recent one is 7 days back. No sale was recorded in watches this week – the most recent one is 83 days back.

The trading-card price index stands at 537.6 (as of 28 August 2026), +191.2 % against a year ago. It measures price changes of the same good – unlike a median, which is made up of different items every week.
