Confirmed market signal
The Dwarvish foil Mox Amber is still clearing around $750 or more in real transactions, including a $760 sale on August 26 and an $824.99 TCGplayer sale on August 22. Those numbers belong to the exact traditional-foil #96 treatment, not to ordinary or nonfoil Mox Amber copies.
Linked as related set context.
Version-specific: compare the exact set, collector number, finish, treatment, and product source before trusting the move.
Confirmed market signal
A Gleaming Gold Smaug has now sold for $24,000, giving the roughly 500-copy headliner its first widely documented high-dollar secondary-market comp. One sale still does not make a liquid $24,000 market, especially for a card this scarce.

Version-specific: compare the exact set, collector number, finish, treatment, and product source before trusting the move.
Confirmed market signal
Hobbit Collector Booster boxes are now selling above $900 on TCGplayer, while Play Booster boxes remain near $195. The premium treatments and Smaug chase explain the gap, but the Collector box is still a presale product.

Version-specific: compare the exact set, collector number, finish, treatment, and product source before trusting the move.
Confirmed market signal
Hobbit Collector Booster displays have confirmed TCGplayer presale activity, but this is still a presale read with endpoint disagreement. Collector Booster packs, 12-pack displays, display cases, Play Booster displays, Bundles, and Gift Bundles need separate checks.

Confirmed market signal
Hobbit Collector Booster boxes are selling at a much higher price than Play Booster boxes. The chase treatments and roughly 500-copy gleaming gold Smaug explain the attention, but the current number is still a presale price.
