Hype meter
recomputed every refresh, moves with each new set2,157 fresh slabs in 30 days is doing most of the lifting here. Submission volume is weighted hardest because it costs money, and this catalog is drawing plenty of it. Nobody on the swept forums said the name in the last two weeks. The meter treats that silence honestly, so the reading rests on the market components alone. For a catalog that only started in 2023, sitting at #127 of 248 is the part worth watching.

THE ARTIST
Yoriyuki Ikegami arrived in the 2023 debut class with Gardenia's Vigor in the Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery, a gym leader at peace among her plants, and flowers have been the signature ever since. The official debut announcement singled out the floral settings, and the 151 illustration rare Bulbasaur line, all Ikegami, ran with it.
Outside Pokemon the resume is quietly impressive: client illustration work and character design for film director Mamoru Hosoda. Twenty three cards in, this is a catalog collectors are watching.
