Thanks for your analysis on the status of the game. Very informative. Video and editing quality is great too. Hopefully subscribers start flooding in for you. 👍🏼
Thank you so much for the kind words and I appreciate you being a part of this community!
This was the video that convinced me to go buy an Elsa. Doubled my money already. Thank you.
Two things that are awesome to hear! That makes my day! Appreciate you, my friend.
1/1,152 that’s insane! 🤯
My wife pulled an elsa on her first pack, and went on a second and got aladin both enchanted, we are new into tcg and was our first buy, i want to know how to grade it
That is truly incredible! Congratulations to you both! I'm sure I will make a "how to" video in the future specific to grading Lorcana cards. However, for the near term, here is a link to a video that might help. Pokemon and Lorcana cards are somewhat similar (rounded corners etc). Hope that this helps! th-cam.com/video/LQZouEVp5ZQ/w-d-xo.html
@@DigitalInkwell thank you so much for the help. Im sure the channel will grow, ill be here to see it
Very solid PIN points, I agree 100% on all, I switched from Pokemon to Lorcana. I enjoy being able to collect and play a game I love!
Yes! With Lorcana having a great brand and path to follow with Pokemon it should be an exciting future ahead. Thanks a lot for the support, my friend!
Lorcana is here to stay!!! 10 year content release premade!
YES!!! Can't wait for that moment!
It’s almost poetic that a fire “dragon” is the top card to Disney’s ice princess
Omg that is SUCH A GOOD POINT! Lol now I can't stop looking at the two cards!
You should make an updated version of this video.
Love the idea and thanks so much for tuning in and watching it! 🙌🏻
Appreciate the analysis and breakdown. You've got the best collector content I've seen yet. Might be worthwhile to see what you think on price analysis. Maybe less of a price report like other creators but drivers behind it, changes over time, etc.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words. You've got it, Ill add it to the list!
I really enjoy your content and your analytics.. It somehow makes me even more happy (if thats even possible) knowing that the pull rate is 1:1000 ish when I pulled Elsa after my 24th pack 🤯 Should buy a lottery ticket with that kind of luck...
Thank you so much my friend! OMG thats an amazing pull! It feels like it comes when we least expect it!
What do you think about the reveal of non-character Enchanted cards?
It's great to see the Enchanted pool expanding (presumably) per set! Lorcana appears to be locking in nicely on the collector side and taking the rarity seriously, which is wonderful to see so early on. It will be exciting to see how it continues to expand down the line with potential items like special edition sets etc that could include more chances for promos. Thanks so much for your support!
Great video! Thanks for breaking it all down. My takeaway here is that this makes me want to buy both! 😅 that Elsa card really is stunning!
I couldn't agree more! Life is always better with both Pokemon and Disney lol. Thanks so much for watching and the support!
Another thing to account for is that Pokemon seems to be not as trendy with Gen Alpha, whereas Frozen 3 is expected to come out 2026. There is better or more active platforms of future hype in Disney as opposed to Pokemon (at least in the west).
That's a great point! There are so many new and upcoming avenues for Disney to explore with the platform they've built. Awesome perspective!
Ain’t no way this a real post. Kids like Pokémon way more than frozen lmfao. Also you all forgetting Disney divisive af with how political it’s getting.
@@didjen181 My kids watched Frozen on repeat. Not pokemon. Just a thought from a Dad.
@@ərror1776 it’s just tells me that your kids are girls
Hey - I have to say im impressed about your videos overall quality. It was fun and enjoyable listening. Also the PIN valuation system is such a cool Idea and the points you mentioned made really sense to me.
I think Lorcana and Pixelborn are having a absolut amazing fundation, I really hope they continue to give this game as much love as it gets right now.
Also from what I heard, this company got an 10%+ increase of DAX Value since the start of Lorcana and I hope they deal clever with it.
Totally agree. They really hit the ground running with a good foundation of platforms! Thank you so much for the support and kind words!
I want to collect them for that beautiful art
Right?! They've really done a fantastic job with the art! Thanks so much for tuning into the content and keep in touch!
Bro aint non way you post content with as high production value as you do without having a least >10k invested in sealed product. I aint hating, keep pumping my bags
Lol thank you for support my friend. I appreciate it. We're enjoying the journey on this end.
@@DigitalInkwell 100%! While Lorcana's goals are ambitious, if successful they could reshape the fabric of society
100%
Interesting thoughts but it’s super hard to compare the two IPs. Pokémon focused very much towards children when released with few adults been targeted, however lorcana seems to be heavily purchased by adults as opposed to kids. The other big change is that grading cards is easily accessible in today’s market for lorcana cards, however for Pokémon high profile cards took decades before grading was considered, thus making the POP 10 population of 1st edition cards a lot rarer then what you could image.
Long term I think Lorcana will do okay, however they missed the mark when they didn’t release a first edition print on the cards. There are wave releases of the first chapter however considering there is nothing on the physical card reflecting this it’s not going to matter going forward as no one will know once opened. The other huge mistake they made was not bringing boxes out with sealed shrink wrap, long term this will have an effect on the durability of the market as boxes cannot be guaranteed of been untampered. It is crazy that they didn’t think of this given that every other TCG ensures that the products are tamper proof sealed.
Really appreciate you reaching out with such insightful thoughts, my friend! I'm right there with you on the 1st edition stamps and being intrigued to see how the FC ages down the road.
Great video! I’m more of a TCG player than a collector, however with your “napkin math” I must be extremely lucky as a collector. Only opened 73 packs, and have 3 Lorcana enchanted’s. 1/96 packs for an enchanted means I broke the stat line by A LOT! 😅
Oh WOW! That is great fortune! But that also makes for a great collecting story. Congratulations!
it must also be said that in the past, when pokemon came out, nobody used sleeves and cardsavers. Thats the reason why the cards are so high priced. Kids played with charizard and there are not so much 10s. Lorcana is modern. Collectors save their cards today. But i´m hoping youre right. My Elsa is at PSA at the moment. Greets from germany
We sleeved our Black Lotuses pretty damn quick.
@@chrisdesmarais6837 i never saw a sleeved charizard on the schoolyard... Magic was for freaks haha
2 months after this video was made elsa more than tripled in value. From 650 to 1900
It's been quite the run and hopefully more gains ahead for Elsa and the hobby! Thanks so much for tuning in and supporting! : )
Great points! One aspect of Lorcana that might be a disadvantage is that Disney has a track record of getting into hype and then canceling many projects when the hype is over like Disney Infinity (toys come to life in your video game hype) and Disney's other big Trading cards set like Disney Treasures from 2003-2004.
Really good point. This early on is certainly a cycle where momentum will be key. Thank you so much for the support!
Man, the Lorcana hit rate is pretty brutal. I'm new to the game, but I'm guessing this is the equivalent of One Piece having 12 Manga Alt Arts instead of just one per set. Making it pretty much impossible to pack your way into completing sets. Tough.
That's EXACTLY it....you nailed it. It feels as though these new hobbies have sort of adopted the 'long shot' pull rate/chase card. Combining that with those hobbies being so new (and one day the 'vintage' sets of the future) it will be very interesting to see how they progress with ratios.
Thank you so much for reaching out and supporting!
You posted hours ago and the NM Elsa is at +$800 already on tcgplayer
It's so crazy! Can't keep up with her!
Pokemon is a whole different league from lorcana. Lorcana biggest downside is that's its Disney. The second it doesn't perform they'll pull the plug.
1200×$7 pack = $8400 for a CHANCE.
Now THAT is a stat! Great callout!
You let me know where you're finding $7 packs. Especially 2-3 months ago

Im seeing Inklands below $125, which is ~$5 pack.
Only box over $200 is First Chapter, which is expected at this point.

There is no market for Lorcana, I work with kids and tons of them play card games. Kids these days arent into disney, the cards are almost completely purchased by collectors and will die the same way metazoo did. There are ELEVEN card shops in my city, half of which dont carry the game, and none of which have ever hosted a "lorcana" game night. Keep in mind, even less common games like Battle Spirits Saga / DBZ or Weiss have multiple meetups in the week. This game is soulless. Hope the collectors have fun, but this is obviously not ending well. Feel free to message me 5 years from now with how "wrong" I was.
I’m 18 and I like Disney.
Very interesting. Appreciate your insight and what you're seeing on your side.
Where are you located there was a 3k that just happened over here in California and 1k in Florida as well the game is alive and well
They're not the majority, but I've been hitting up 3 Lorcana Leagues weekly for about a month now and there are kids showing up super psyched for Lorcana. They're really good at them too and running some super good cards
100% incorrect. Whether you agree with what Disney is doing these days or not they still OWN the market for children. Kids are hugely into Disney these days. Now I’m still not sure whether Lorcana will be a great investment, but it has a high likelihood of dominating the TCG market. My big concern is with the card market in general. Will the market die in this digital age or will physical media survive? That is the question. I love physical media so I hope it survives.
