Real assets: the week's hammer prices
The auction houses delivered 44 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 | 40 | $4,080 | Mewtwo #20 — Expedition (2002) 7 Sep 2026 | $96,000 |
| Classic cars | 4 | $86,215 | Porsche 911 Turbo (930) — 1975–1989 11 Sep 2026 | $166,000 |
No sale was recorded in watches this week – the most recent one is 90 days back.
The trading-card price index stands at 577.7 (as of 7 September 2026), +215.0 % 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 June 2026, 102 days before this review. United States (Case-Shiller) +1.7 % year on year. Germany +1.4 % year on year. Euro area +4.6 % year on year.
