A single-digit median decline is easy to over-read until you remember what the first week of a set actually is. Listings are thin, sellers price on hope, and a handful of optimistic asks set the record for everybody. By week three the box-opening wave has passed, cards are in binders, and the prices are being set by people who own the cards rather than people guessing about them. A median of −9.2% across 62 measured cards is the normal shape of that landing.
What matters is the distribution underneath it. 21 cards went the other way, several by double digits, and the chase tiers behaved nothing like the commons. So rather than one number, here is the whole set, sorted by what actually happened.
Winners: the five biggest risersInkSight · Gundam Card Game · as of August 13, 2026
Every card below cleared the same bar: at least three snapshot days in both windows, verified or moderate confidence, and at least $2.00 on both ends so bulk noise cannot manufacture a headline percentage.
| Card | Rarity | Jul 24–Jul 30 | Aug 7–Aug 13 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EX Resource (EXR-007) (C+) (SP) | C+ | $413.94 | $706.02 | +70.6% |
| Amuro Ray (R+) | R+ | $73.27 | $124.61 | +70.1% |
| Nu Gundam (R+) | R+ | $41.07 | $66.56 | +62.1% |
| EX Resource (EXR-009) (C+) (SP) | C+ | $540.01 | $757.71 | +40.3% |
| Master Asia (LR+) | LR+ | $74.18 | $95.84 | +29.2% |
EX Resource (EXR-007) (C+) (SP) is the story of the set: $413.94 in release week against $706.02 now, +70.6%, and it did it on 7 snapshot days in the current window rather than one spike. Below it the gains get modest fast — the 5th-best riser in the entire set is only +29.2%. A set with one strong riser and a thin tail behind it is a set where demand is concentrated, not broad.
Losers: the five biggest declinesInkSight · Gundam Card Game · as of August 13, 2026
The same bar, the same windows, the other end of the table. Note how many of these are mid-price cards rather than chase cards: the steepest declines in a young set are usually the $4–$8 rares that release-week speculation over-bid.
| Card | Rarity | Jul 24–Jul 30 | Aug 7–Aug 13 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wing Gundam Zero (EW) | Legend Rare | $9.47 | $3.45 | −63.6% |
| Mutual Attraction (R+) | R+ | $18.75 | $7.71 | −58.9% |
| Dragon Gundam (R+) | R+ | $31.39 | $18.19 | −42.1% |
| Wings of Light (R+) | R+ | $11.23 | $7.03 | −37.4% |
| Amuro Ray (C+) (SP) | C+ | $273.17 | $179.85 | −34.2% |
The steepest faller, Wing Gundam Zero (EW), is −63.6% — from $9.47 to $3.45. At that price level a decline like this rarely means the card is bad; it means release-week asks were being set against almost no supply, and supply arrived. The one genuinely expensive card in this list, Amuro Ray (C+) (SP), is the exception worth watching, because thin high-value markets move on very few sales in either direction.
Chase check: where the top of the set landedInkSight · Gundam Card Game · as of August 13, 2026
Chase rarities are the cards people buy the set for, and they are also the thinnest markets in it. Here is the median of each chase tier in release week against the median now — measured across every printing in the tier, so one outlier cannot carry the number.
- Legend Rare (Parallel ++) — median $1,351.66 → $1,597.40 +18.2%, 3 of 5 printings higher than release week.
- Legend Rare (Parallel) — median $53.14 → $46.54 −12.4%, 2 of 12 printings higher than release week.
- Legend Rare — median $4.22 → $3.76 −10.9%, 1 of 12 printings higher than release week.
- Rare (Parallel) — median $19.10 → $17.90 −6.3%, 4 of 26 printings higher than release week.
The chase tiers split, which is the more common outcome and the more useful one: some of the top of Freedom Ascension is holding while the rest has given ground. The Legend Rare (Parallel ++) tier added +18.2% against its opening median, and the Legend Rare (Parallel) tier −12.4% — with 2 of its 12 printings bucking that. These are also the cards where a single sale moves the print, so treat every figure in this section as the centre of a range rather than a quote.
Sealed math: what a box is actually worthInkSight · Gundam Card Game · as of August 13, 2026
Nobody publishes pull rates for Gundam Card Game. Bandai and Riot both ship these sets without slot odds, and InkSight does not invent them — so there is no expected-value figure in this section, and there will not be one until real odds exist. What we can do is show what the sealed product has actually cost, day by day, in our own snapshots.
We only began recording these sealed listings after release week, so there is no release-week baseline to compare them against yet — the figures above are current asks and Market prices as recorded August 13, 2026, nothing more.
How to read this without an EVCompare the sealed price against the singles you actually want. The chase medians earlier on this page are the honest yardstick: if the printings you are chasing sit far below the box price and the box is drifting down, opening is a preference, not a value play. When the numbers do not exist, the right move is to say so.

MethodInkSight · Gundam Card Game · as of August 13, 2026
What these numbers are. Every figure on this page is a trailing seven-day median of InkSight’s own stored daily TCGplayer snapshots — the price a copy was listed or marked at on the day we recorded it. These are asks and Market prices, not confirmed sales data, and no third party’s sold-listing feed is used anywhere in this article.
Windows. Release week is Jul 24–Jul 30, 2026. The current window is Aug 7–Aug 13, 2026. A card needs at least three snapshot days inside both windows to appear; cards we did not begin tracking until after release are omitted rather than back-filled. We also hold 8 snapshot days for this set from before release (first recorded Jul 16), and every one of them is excluded: pre-release rows are presale and preorder asks with no market behind them, so the baseline here starts on release day itself, Jul 24, and never earlier.
Filtering. Only cards flagged verified or moderate confidence by our snapshot classifier are eligible, and both ends must be at or above $2.00. That leaves 62 eligible cards out of 197 printings we track for the set. Medians in the chase section are computed over every paired printing in the tier, including ones below the $2.00 floor.
Sealed. No pull rates are published for Gundam Card Game and InkSight does not estimate any, so this article carries no expected-value figure. Sealed numbers above are recorded asks and Market prices only.
What we do not do. No forecasts, no target prices, no buy or sell advice. Where a market is too thin for a number to mean much, we say so instead of quoting it with false precision.
