Disney Lorcana’s New Iconic Rarity Fabled Cards Are Already Fetching Over $1000
Disney Lorcana launched its ninth set, Fabled, last week, and from stunning Goofy Movie cards to new Iconic and Epic rarities, there’s an awful lot to like about it.
For starters, that includes the new Mickey Mouse – Brave Little Prince (Iconic), which’s already selling for over $1000 on resale sites like TCGPlayer and eBay, while its new “Iconic” pairing, Minnie Mouse – Sweetheart Princess, isn’t exactly cheap either, and currently fetching around $865 market price.
Prices will continue to fluctuate in the coming weeks and months, but with the full set out now, we’ve also been taking a deep dive into all the prettiest, priciest cards from it.
While the first-ever Iconic cards are, understandably, fetching sizeable fees, plenty of the other “Enchanted” cards are also reaching hundreds of dollars already, and are definitely worth chasing as well. Using data from our friends at TCGPlayer, here are the most expensive cards in the Fabled set of Disney Lorcana, and where to find them.
Powerline – World’s Greatest Rock Star (Enchanted)
Kicking off with a card that many were excited for when Fabled was revealed, Powerline – World’s Greatest Rock Star is sitting at around $172.
Aside from the fact that he turns song cards into card draw and cheats out big cards, the artwork is awesome (and he’s the only Goofy Movie entrant on this list).
Circle of Life (Enchanted)
Sitting just above Powerline is the Enchanted version of Circle of Life, coming in at around $177.
The artwork is gorgeous, you can bring back a discarded card, and I’m always happy to see anything from The Lion King. Which brings us nicely to…
Scar – Finally King (Enchanted)
Sitting at around $205, Scar – Finally King’s Enchanted version has more amazing artwork showing the one-time ruler of Pride Rock chatting to a skull and smirking.
He buffs allies, then turns that into card draw, which is basically what you’d expect from the self-centred brother of Mufasa.
Winnie the Pooh – Hunny Wizard (Enchanted)
Reprints are great ways to lower the cost of cards, but this Fabled version of Winnie the Pooh – Hunny Wizard is going for $220.
And you know what? We get it. Look at him, all happy with his borderless treatment.
Hades – Infernal Schemer (Enchanted)
Laying my (Lorcana) cards on the table here, Hades – Infernal Schemer (Enchanted) might be my favorite card on this list.
He’s another reprint, and looks incredible. His value is rising, too, with a market value of $250 but already selling for more than that.
Lilo – Best Explorer Ever (Enchanted)
This adorable Lilo – Best Explorer Ever card isn’t a reprint, and grants Challenger to allies. The standard artwork, with Stitch lurking in the background, is great, but this one makes him even harder to spot so that Lilo can be the clear focus in her spacesuit.
The card is sitting at $255, marginally more than Hades, but it does seem to be dropping slightly.
Belle – Accomplished Mystic (Enchanted)
Belle – Accomplished Mystic marks the first of a quartet of ‘classic’ Disney characters that finish off this list, and she’s a reprint of a Super Rare that appeared in Ursula’s Return.
She’s at the $315 mark right now, but has sold for under $300.
Dumbo – Ninth Wonder of the Universe (Enchanted)
Another new card, Dumbo – Ninth Wonder of the Universe is currently sitting at around $365 and selling for around that, too.
He’s not only adorable in this picture, but he’s handy to have if you’re looking to rack up lore with his abilities.
Minnie Mouse – Sweetheart Princess (Iconic)
Surprising no one, it’s the new Iconic artwork that takes the top two spots of our list, starting with Minnie Mouse – Sweetheart Princess.
She’ll set you back around $865 right now, but has sold for around $120 less than that. Will she climb further, or is that a sign of an imminent drop? We’ll know more in the coming days.
Mickey Mouse – Brave Little Prince (Iconic)
“Oh boy!” – Mickey Mouse, upon seeing that his Mickey Mouse – Brave Little Prince (Iconic) card has a market value of over $1000, presumably.
Mickey’s the most expensive card on this list by some distance, and will set you back $1,022. Still, he’s sold for just shy of $900, so there’s some wiggle room.
Being one of the first iconic cards, and an absolutely beautiful looking one at that, I’m not surprised this is demanding a pretty penny right now. At the time of writing, it’s the most valuable Disney Lorcana card ever.
Where to Buy Disney Lorcana’s Fabled Set
Thankfully, you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to get started with Lorcana.
The Fabled set sees the debut of a new Collection Starter Set to help you get started with collecting the heroes and villains of the Disney universe, and it includes 4 booster packs (a total of 48 cards), a portfolio binder for Mickey Mouse – Brave Little Tailor, a collector’s guide, and a Glimmer Foil variant of Tinker Bell – Giant Fairy.
Then there are preconstructed decks, Illumineer’s Trove boxes, and boosters you can buy, too.
Disney Lorcana – New Epic and Iconic Rarities Explained
As I mentioned, Disney Lorcana has expanded its rarity system in the new Fabled set with two new tiers: Epic and Iconic. Epic cards sit between Legendary and Enchanted, making them rarer than the former but easier to find than the latter.
These are alternate versions of existing cards that reuse Standard artwork but get a premium treatment, including an “open air” frame, rainbow foiling, and glossy highlights.
Iconic cards, meanwhile, now take the crown as Lorcana’s rarest chase cards. Only two appear per set, each featuring alternate full-card artwork that continues behind the text box, along with a raised 3D hot stamp effect and a shimmering custom lore star foil.
