In a week that was shortened due to platform maintenance, performance was propelled by one asset that quadrupled its market cap. The CryptoPunk #9670 opened this week at a $72,000 market cap and by Thursday, the Punk had reached $345,000. The nearly 5x return is the largest in a single week for any offering since Rally started real-time trading and well outpaced any other performance this week.

Following the Punk was the 1910 Tip-Top Bread Honus Wagner and 1979 Diego Maradona which climbed 39.39% and 38.16% respectively. Sports cards moved 5.16% higher on average to finish runner-up to NFTs which closed this week with a 126.67% average ROI. The Honus performance represented a strong rebound after the Tip-Top card fell -30% on Rally last week. There were 40 different assets that traded on Rally across eight asset class. Sports cards were most represented with 12 offerings followed by 9 video games and 6 pieces of memorabilia.

Video games and comic books both stumbled this week as the three worst-performing assets represented those two sectors. The 1985 NES Deluxe Set slipped-49.65% while the 1977 Marvel Star Wars comic crumbled -42%. The worst performing sports card this week was the 2003 Topps Chrome Refractor LeBron James which fell -18.42%. Video games closed with a -9.2% average return while comic books settled -8.17% lower.
