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. 👍🏼

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

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

It’s almost poetic that a fire “dragon” is the top card to Disney’s ice princess

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!

This was the video that convinced me to go buy an Elsa. Doubled my money already. Thank you.

Lorcana is here to stay!!! 10 year content release premade!

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.

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...

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.

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!

What do you think about the reveal of non-character Enchanted cards?

[soldiernumberx]

I want to collect them for that beautiful art

[reignking]

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! 😅

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.

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

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).

You posted hours ago and the NM Elsa is at +$800 already on tcgplayer

[tropicalterrarium]

2 months after this video was made elsa more than tripled in value. From 650 to 1900
