SABOTERI
Collectors have graded 9,941 copies of Saboteri's 12 tracked cards. The catalog gems at 56.3 percent, a high rate that usually reflects modern print quality more than easy grading. Submissions are running hot right now: 1,886 new gradings in the last 30 days.
Hype meter
recomputed every refresh, moves with each new setStart with what people are actually doing: 1,886 new gradings of this catalog landed inside a month. That is real money spent on plastic, and it is the heaviest input in the score. The forums are silent on the name right now, which caps the score; everything above comes from measured market behavior rather than conversation. For a catalog that only started in 2024, sitting at #85 of 248 is the part worth watching.

THE ARTIST
Saboteri is new enough that most collectors met him in person before they learned his name. The Pokemon Company flew him to the 2025 World Championships in Anaheim as an official special guest, signing for attendees across the whole weekend, an honor extended to only a handful of card illustrators.
His tracked catalog started in 2024 and is still small, which is the point of the up and comers rail: catch the artist while the catalog is short.
