Disney Lorcana has yet to hit stores, but one card of the rare Enchanted variety is selling for particularly high prices.
- Disney Lorcana's Enchanted Elsa card has quickly become very valuable, selling for $750-$850 even though it has no unique in-game achievements.
- The scarcity of enchanted cards, due to limited availability, has contributed to the high resale value, but this may decrease once the game is officially released and more enchanted cards become available.
- The high demand and excitement for enchanted cards indicate a strong collector market for Disney Lorcana, and the success of the enchanted Elsa card is a notable achievement.
Disney Lorcana may not be in stores yet, but one card that will be available in the game's wide release has already delivered staggering value. Disney's new trading card game offers a similar collecting focus to games like Magic: The Gathering of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, with a focus on the unique art and abilities of each card. While it doesn't have the same years of history or rows of rare cards behind it, the price of one Disney Lorcana card shows that it has already managed to create an aggressive resale market.
Rarity in Disney Lorcana is basically divided into five ranks, with Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare and Legendary cards all having different distributions that make each rank more attractive than the last. A secret sixth Disney Lorcanarity called Enchanted was kept under wraps until recently, making the announcement a surprise that quickly fueled the search for the cards during the Gen Con 2023 demo. This enchanted rarity features a special foil process identical to the game's exclusive D23 promo cards and alternate art, but the abilities of enchanted cards are identical to the standard cards they correspond to.
Disney Lorcana's enchanted Elsa card sells for hundreds
The enchanted card that has increased in value the most since its Gen Con 2023 release is Elsa, which may not be a huge surprise considering the former Queen of Arendelle's enormous popularity.
According to ComicBook.com, the Enchanted Elsa Disney Lorcana card sold for between $750 and $850, a truly impressive price for a card without any unique in-game feats. With a value that eclipses the sales of other cards in the Enchanted line, Elsa seems to be riding high on the appeal of the art and character alone.
The price of Elsa in Disney Lorcana is probably not stable
Since few people have had a way to purchase Disney Lorcana packs directly, the value of the enchanted card for Elsa is likely increased due to temporary scarcity. While demand for cards could continue to rise once the game officially releases, the increased availability of Enchanted cards set to release in the coming weeks should be able to temper the skyrocketing resale values. However, given its strong performance thus far, Elsa could very well remain at the top of the Disney Lorcana pack by a good margin.
The market price for Elsa's enchanted card should have no effect on the overall accessibility of Disney Lorcana, as a regular Elsa card with a much lower price tag will do the same job in the game. Still, it points to the existence of a collector market currently on the hunt for the next trading card game. Enchanted cards have generated a lot of excitement so far, and their late reveal in the game's marketing seems to be an effective gambit. Regardless of what the future holds for Disney Lorcana, the meteoric success of the Enchanted Elsa card is an achievement to remember.
