Why the page charts Google Shopping

A collectible people buy when a TCG set launches should be checked on shopping first, and Google Shopping for this keyword is the series that still clears 20 percent over 7 days and 25 percent over 30 days with a readable September climb after a July floor of 31.

That source printed 65 on September 19, up 41.3% from 46 over 7 days and up 41.3% from 46 over 30 days, with last-52 week-over-week sample standard deviation 14.45%. Google Search for the same keyword is 56 on September 19, up 7.69% from 52 over 7 days and down 1.75% from 57 over 30 days, a famous-name index that fails +25% over 30 days even as 1Y is +30.23% from 43. Search is not the series that matches the card-drop story. Same-day Google Shopping neighbors: pokemon tcg 44 (+37.5% over 30 days from 32), pokemon cards 61 (+35.56% from 45), pikachu 49 (+13.95% from 43), nintendo switch 2 40 (+81.82% from 22), nintendo 40 (0.0% from 40), ToysRUs 9 (+12.5% from 8), halloween 20 (+150.0% from 8). Seasonal context: Halloween.

get_time_series with source google shopping and the stored keyword is the call behind the chart: 261 weekly points from 2021-09-25 through 2026-09-19, stored as {date, value} with no smoothing. get_growth on the same pair, windows 7D, 30D, and 1Y, is the headline math: 46 to 65 (+41.3%), 46 to 65 (+41.3%), and 47 to 65 (+38.3%). Mixing the Search 56 with the Shopping 65 would invent a story the APIs do not tell.

A copy-paste pair for Claude or Cursor:
