One data point should pop out at anyone looking at the above table, even at a glance: School Etoile, Olyvia, the highest-selling card, is also the most expensive in the top 10 by an obnoxious margin. The reason behind this is that Olyvia is one of two Bermuda Triangle cards with Stride, and she's the superior of the two. In order to be have a competitive Bermuda Triangle deck, you need to play Olyvia, so she can be safely expected to retain her value.
The way this set performs in the market will go a long way towards predicting how future G-Clan boosters will sell, but if School Etoile, Olyvia is any indicator, the margins on the Generation Rares (GR) are going to be quite high.
