Value concentrates hard: across 481 measured Yu-Gi-Oh! sets, the single top card typically holds about 13% of a set's total card value.

Over the first 30 weeks after release, that easing runs about 28% deeper than the market's own drift.

“One active week” means the price changed at the daily market close in only one week of the move window. A single-week jump on an otherwise flat quote can be a stale price rather than a sustained move.
