October 2026 card market update from the Collector Nation Hobby Index: Pokémon cards and sports cards cooled off this month, but did not crash. Michael Jordan, Charizard and Pikachu all stopped rising; Rayquaza, Lugia and Darkrai kept climbing; new releases fell for a fifth straight month, and the gap between older cards and new releases is about 40 points. What I'd buy, hold and sell, and the three readings to watch when November's index lands on Thursday, December 3.
