It was explained to the top 8 in ATL that the Mickey Mouse presented to them were of the 'best condition' ones from the lot of 500. They likely wanted to over print, pick the best ones and then present those as the trophies. 8th place got a lower number than 1st - so I don't think that they will legitimately hand out all 500 of these. It's more likely that they hand out the 4-8 planned at each event (Puts total to 60-80) and the rest will go into the Disney Vault or get destroyed. It will not be a $75K card...but it will be the most rare card up to this point in time.
It’s unfortunate the winners didn’t get to pick. Who ever gets the lowest serialized numbers regardless of condition will most likely command the most premium, unless they are truly “damaged”. I disagree about the distribution thing, but only time will tell!
@@CardboardKingdom it took some negotiation to get it down from 550, but it was worth, I picked up some cheaper set 4 cards I think are being slept on to close the deal.
i FOMOed in.. picked up some non foil ones, as they’re more affordable, holos are nice but perhaps a bit overrated. One guy reached out and said his low is 11k for rapunzel. some guy on discord trying to sell mickey for $75k. Cindy at $1500 on the low. dragon fires at $225 rn, but yeah you’re definitely right and with each new tournament more copies enter the market the more these cards will drop down lower. I still think Mickey will remain high has there may be some collectors that aren’t looking to sell, as it probably holds sentimental emotional attachment/ meaning to certain winners. and realistically there ain’t a lot of folks looking to drop 5 figures into any one card. In any TCG right now the ceiling is usually around 5k-10k in general with some exceptions. and that’s usually for graded 10s. it’s like the premium for a new movie that just came out when it’ll be the same movie on blue ray or netflix 6 months later.. i do think there were a lot more LGS that held tournaments for stitch, more in bigger states as well. I could see stitch coming down a bit more, maybe $450 before he goes back up. hard to find a clean mint copy tho.. elsa will probably take off again next year after chapter one is eaten up. Chapter 5 supposedly beats chapter 4.. so i think people like me will be super tapped out with cards coming Holiday season.. since there’s black friday and christmas stuff too. All chapter 3 enchanteds etc should drop in the coming months @churmander
I agree with most of what you said here Churmander, I could see the Stitch coming down in the short term, but if the next 5/6 regional Lorcana Challenge events have the exact same prize cards as awarded here, I feel confident that Stitch will only be second/third in terms of promo's behind Mickey. Rapunzel and Cindy might remain ahead of him, but for the price right now give me a stitch all day. Very excited to see set five and how the market moves until then!
On the serialized Mickey. I'll never "earn" one of these myself. That being said, there's a part of me that thinks these should only be given to those who actually win something. I'm guessing, based on the 500 serialized number and the number of competitions, these are going to employees, sponsors, who knows what. Just takes something away from it imo...
Hey man, you numbers are likely off. I would average probably 100 stitch promos per state. I would say there is about 5000 probably total printed world wide.
That number seems high to me as my metro area had 1 store running the set championships, but we are in the Midwest so it absolutely could be dramatically higher on the coasts, that I don’t know.
I remembered overnight why I thought it was so low, last I checked the pop report there were 120 total that had been graded. I think if the pop was 5,000 that number would be much higher. IMO, the people who are winning and buying the stitches a lot of the time know there is a premium to be had in a high grade as it’s a higher end time investment and card. Curious your thoughts on that? This all just speculation, you very well could be right.
500 total?!?!?! .... literally nothing. How many actually hit the market. (not considering the MIckey Art being Suuuuuper "special" and being 1st serial # release) who knows, not me. xoxo
A lot more than initially expected, which means it went from a card that I never had a chance at collecting to one that I do... which is great news for collectors! xoxo

Thank you for the ground truth on FOMO.
Absolutely, thanks for sticking around Pete :)
I picked up a near mint Stitch from a vendor at the Atlanta tournament for 500. Value is out there just have to dive on it sometimes
WOW $500 for a NM copy is wild, thats awesome!
I have collect-a-con coming to my area this summer, I am very excited to find some deals.

@@Wildbarley Great work!
none of these challenge promos are done yet. ravensburg is translating and printing for China
Interesting, have any links or anything for that?

Pulled the trigger on a $600 stitch. Got my eyes on Elsa next but I'll wait and see if the Australia release gets me a discount 🤷♂
Love that, great work!

Agreed completely, don't get me wrong I would LOVE to have one, but if I had won I would be a little sad there are 500 and I got #290 or w/e.
Is it bad that I have no interest in any of the tournament/prize cards? I only like cards you can pull from packs 😕
Idk about bad, but definitely unique LOL

Micky is realistically about 15k. The rest cut by a fourth. Dragon will drop to 50 bucks easy. The real cards will be at the national championship!
Couldn’t agree more!
i wander if they will have these challenges when launches in australia mike?
I would imagine they will have regional events, as long as there is a player base for it!
@@CardboardKingdom i did buy one dragon fire promo...oops ..haha..£220 british pounds...will send it off to psa
@@missjennauk hahah prob could of waited a little bit, but $220 in the grand scheme of things isn’t bad!
@@CardboardKingdom i agree...lesson learnt like that...i do hope my stitch comes back as a 10..was a clean copy..any news on yours yet?
@@missjennauk I’m waiting to send mine atm, I have done like 10 subs already this year, chilling for a bit.
The FOMO is really strong right now.

Don't pay these ridiculous prices
Agreed, people are already dropping prices significantly.
