3 PM ET: Origins Upgrade Auctions Begin
The real fireworks start here.

10 winners per player. Auctions run Monday to Wednesday, using Average Sale Price (ASP), not count.
Origins Mint Counts:

🆕 The Parallel Power-Up
Leaderboards are powered by TSS & Auctions run on ASP.
💠Generally speaking: the scarcer the parallel, the higher the ASP, the more impactful the bidding.
And here's the kicker: Upgrade Trade-In Auctions return later this season for Freshman Gems and Metallic Gold LE. That Rookie Debut supply? It's about to get way scarcer across the board.
