A free weekly release calendar for collectors. It covers Pokémon TCG, sports cards (Topps, Panini, Bowman, Upper Deck), Supreme's Thursday droplist and major sneaker releases. Each item shows its release date, retail price, current resale when there's a real number, and a Cop, Maybe or Skip call.

What do Cop, Maybe and Skip mean?

Cop: evidence says it holds above retail, or it's an unusually good price for what's inside. Maybe: buy it if you'll use, wear, rip or play it, but don't count on flipping it. Skip: overpriced for the market, plentiful, or already asking under retail. Calls are editorial opinion, not financial advice.

Where do the resale prices come from?

From the source linked on each item: daily market prices for Pokémon, average retailer listings for sports card boxes, and the lowest current ask on the major resale marketplaces for sneakers. Supreme apparel has no reliable public resale feed yet. Each number is labeled by type, because a lowest ask is not a sale price. All prices are in US dollars.

How are the Pokémon Era Indexes calculated?

Each index holds 10 fixed raw near-mint cards from one era (Vintage, Mid-era or Modern). It is equal-weighted: the value is 1,000 × the average of each card's daily market price (USD) divided by its price on the base date. A missing price is carried forward for at most 3 days, and nothing is interpolated.

What counts as vintage, mid-era and modern Pokémon cards?

Vintage is the WOTC era, 1999–2003 (Base Set through Skyridge). Mid-era is 2003–2016 (EX series through XY). Modern is 2017 onward (Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, Scarlet & Violet and Mega Evolution).

How often is Drop Sheet updated?

Resale prices, Pokémon Movers and both sets of Pokémon Era Indexes refresh every morning. The calendar and the calls get an editor pass every week, and The Thursday Sheet newsletter goes out on Thursdays.

About

One sheet. Every drop that matters.

Collectors juggle four calendars: Pokémon set dates, Topps and Panini release schedules, Supreme's Thursday droplist, and the sneaker apps. Drop Sheet puts them on one free weekly page. Each item gets its release date, retail price, current resale (when there's a real number), and a one-line answer to the only question that matters: is it worth it? For Pokémon we also track prices every day: the Pokémon Era Indexes, the Pokémon Sealed Era Indexes and Pokémon Movers. Sports Card Era Indexes are coming soon.

The full step-by-step is on the Methodology page. The short version is below.

How we make the call

Step by step: Methodology → the call.

CopMaybeSkip

Cop: evidence says it holds above retail (pre-release asks, presale market, comparable past drops), or it's an unusually good price for what's inside.
Maybe: buy it if you'll use, wear, rip or play it. Don't count on flipping it.
Skip: overpriced for the market, plentiful, or already asking under retail.

Calls are editorial opinion based on the data we link. They aren't financial advice. Every date and price on the sheet links to where we read it. If we couldn't find a number, we leave it blank. We never guess. Resale figures are point-in-time and labeled by type: a lowest ask is what a seller wants, a market price reflects recent sales, and a retailer listing is what shops charge.

Pokémon prices: Movers and Pokémon Era Indexes

Pokémon Movers and the Pokémon Era Indexes use the daily market price (USD) for raw, near-mint cards, matched to the exact printing and read once a day. A 7-day change is shown only when there's a real price a week earlier; nothing is estimated or interpolated. The era definitions and the index math are below, under How the Pokémon Era Indexes are calculated.

How the Pokémon Era Indexes are calculated

Think of the Dow, for Pokémon cards. There are three indexes, one per era: Drop Sheet Vintage 10, Drop Sheet Mid-Era 10 and Drop Sheet Modern 10. You can see them on the homepage under Pokémon Era Indexes.

The eras. Vintage is the WOTC era, 1999–2003: Base Set through Skyridge, including Jungle, Fossil, Team Rocket, Gym, Neo, Legendary Collection and e-Card. Mid-era is 2003–2016: the EX series, Diamond & Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold & SoulSilver, Black & White and XY. Modern is 2017 onward: Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, Scarlet & Violet and Mega Evolution. Pokémon Movers uses the same eras.
The cards. Each index holds 10 fixed, hand-picked raw near-mint cards in their exact printing: 3 grails, 4 mid-price fan favorites and 3 affordable but very popular cards, so it isn't just the most expensive cards. A constituent only changes when we edit the list by hand.
The math. The indexes are equal-weighted. Each day, each card's USD price is divided by its price on the base date. The index value is the plain average of those 10 ratios × 1,000. The base date is the earliest date on which all 10 cards have a real USD price, so a $2,000 card and a $10 card count the same.
Gaps. If a card misses a day, its last real price is carried forward for at most 3 days. A longer gap means no point for that day. Nothing is estimated or interpolated.
Prices. Daily market price (USD). History starts from daily price history, which is accepted only when it matches our own price for that exact printing. From then on, the indexes use our own daily snapshots. The indexes refresh every morning, and 1D, 7D, 30D and 1Y changes appear once there's enough history.

How the Pokémon Sealed Era Indexes are calculated

Drop Sheet Vintage Sealed, Mid-Era Sealed and Modern Sealed use the same eras and the same equal-weighted math as the card indexes (value = 1,000 × the average of price ÷ base-date price). Each one tracks a fixed basket of sealed products, each an exact product with a real market price: Vintage 12 (WOTC booster packs), Mid-era 14 and Modern 15 (booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes, booster bundles and packs). Vintage is packs only, because no WOTC booster box has a reliable market price. History is our own daily snapshot of market prices (USD), starting Oct 19, 2026. Nothing is backfilled, so the 7-day change and the sealed movers appear once we have a week of snapshots. See them under Pokémon Sealed Era Indexes.

Where release dates and prices come from

Pokémon TCG: release dates from official product announcements; MSRP and the daily market price for sealed product.
Sports cards: release dates from manufacturer and hobby release calendars; average or median retailer listings per box. When a manufacturer doesn't publish an MSRP on a readable page, the card says "Not published".
Supreme: the weekly droplist and item prices. There's no reliable public resale feed for Supreme apparel, so most Supreme items show no resale number.
Sneakers: release dates, times (ET), retail, SKU and the lowest current ask across the major resale marketplaces, cross-checked against a second release calendar.
Every card links to the exact page we read its date and price from.

Resale numbers refresh every morning. The calls stay the same until an editor changes them. Every price is in US dollars.

Last week's results & the Below Retail board

We check back on recent drops to see whether they held above retail, so our calls are graded in public. The Below Retail board lists anything trading under MSRP. Those are bad flips, but often great buys if you actually want the item.

We offer limited sponsor spots each week, shown on the site and in The Thursday Sheet newsletter. Card shops, breakers, consignment stores, grading services and sneaker boutiques are a natural fit. Interested? Send us a sponsor inquiry and we'll get back to you.
