Sources & Method
How we keep the tracker honest.
- Every drop and figure is dated (info gathered June 2026) and tied to a published source.
- Trader Joe's announces no schedule, so unconfirmed drops are labeled Rumored — never presented as fact.
- Resale ranges come from real sold activity; we explicitly call out the "$50,000" listings as clickbait, not sold prices.
- We never fabricate prices, dates, or colorways.
