Disney Lorcana Market Watch: Week of April 29

Each week, I will be taking a look at the cards that rose and fell the most in each of Disney Lorcana’s sets and potentially make some predictions based on chatter I am hearing and results I am seeing throughout the community.

A few rules up front:

Price changes are based on TCGplayer Market Price, updated every hour on the hour (through an API). Market price is based on the average price of card sales. I am looking at the percentage price change from 7 days ago compared to when the article is written each week. Depending on when you are reading this/article goes live, compared to when that section was written, prices may change slightly.
I am only looking at cards Rare or above, and with current value of close to $1 or more. Cards under $1 can have wide market swings given easy buyouts, but given the current state of supply of cards it was hard to find cards above this value for comparison given their growth trends. For cards under $1 I only included those I feel have the potential to go higher and were not simply artificially inflated (i.e. they actually see play).
I am looking at only non-foil pricing.
Prices for the two most recently released sets of Lorcana are currently falling overall due to the supply increases with reprints. Both big box stores (Targets, Walmarts, Best Buys, etc.) and local game stores (LGS) have received massive inflows of product, tanking box prices to below MSRP.

News of the Week Affecting Lorcana Finance

Prices continue to be low as a wave of Lorcana entered the market thought Set Championships, including the highly desirable The First Chapter. All four of the Set Championships I attended had boxes of all three sets for sale in varying prices: some as high as $190 a box, but at least they had them right?! As a result, several new sellers have extra stock to "race to the bottom" on TCG Player and larger sellers are flush with inventory. Will these prices continue to be low? I doubt it, as reprints do not seem to be on the docket any time soon, and if i had to guess we would not see new boxes hit shelves until the next round of Set Championships at the earliest.

Surprisingly box prices on The First Chapter have only dropped around $`10, to around $230 verified, but I expect those to rise in the coming weeks.

We are also knee deep in Reveal Season for Ursula's Return, as official sites and content creators are revealing cards this week. We only have about a quarter of the set revealed so far, but some older cards that interact with those revealed are spiking in price. You can follow along with the reveals right here.

Set 4: Ursula’s Return Spoilers

As Set Champs closed last week, we start the grind to the first Lorcana Challenges. As they are not public entry, chances are the secondary market will not be affected by them until after they are over. That being said, I would pay attention to any larger events leading up to Atlanta as there may be temporary spikes in prices if any new decks are discovered this late in the Into the Inklands metagame. Since Chicago will be the first major event featuring Ursula's Return, I expect that set's prices to start high (as usual) but stay high for that event!
