I have been addicted to Disney’s Lorcana card game.
Not as a player though.
It’s been fun collecting the various cards in the set.
Also, getting an Enchanted card is awesome.
With that said, I am about to take a sabbatical on the product. Card investing is great and all, but it’s also built for the long game and what my future holds, the present is lacking.
I need resources. I think at the moment, I am playing this game in single-player mode. I have to start working on my connections for buying and selling.
Also, I think I need to learn the game.
At the moment, the best card I have is my Elsa Enchanted card. I see a lot of ungraded cards selling 700 to 800 dollars on eBay. This is my five-year investment. I think if it’s not the Black Lotus, this card must be one of the Mox artifacts. For my card to churn out a monster price spike, I need the game to grow.
Unlike Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana involves a century-old collection of Disney characters. At the moment, we have yet to see Dumbo, Bambi, Tarzan, Chip and Dale, The Fox and The Hound, The Lady and The Tramp, Recess, Phineas and Ferb, and I guess Pocahontas, as well. We could even see the game going after the Pixar flicks and even the other franchises like Hanna Barbera and The Looney Tunes. I guess having Bugs Bunny and Yogi Bear in a Disney game is a bit farfetched, but surely, this is a deal that could work for them, especially with how the current wave of kids are forgetting the other titles.
When was the last time a person you know mentioned Snagglepuss or Huckleberry Hound?
But yeah. I guess after getting my Amazon and eBay purchases, I am going to complete my First Chapter and Rise of the Floodborn set. I bought a booster box of Into the Inklands, but just for the sake of having the location cards. It feels as if the game is like Magic a hint of Munchkin.
I barely know the game of Magic after Mirage, and I suck at Munchkin.
But as mentioned, the primary reason I bought the Lorcana cards is to sell them. For sure, the game is going to be a keeper for as long as people are still familiar with Mickey Mouse and most of his cohorts. Even with the way I am buying my cards, I know I already have a decent return on investment. With that said, I also need to be cautious as well as aggressive.
In stocks, I think I fall into the moderately conservative category, and I am trying to go for aggressive play after aggressive play.
With that said, I think this is why I suck at Christmas raffles. I think I am lucky in terms of pulling good cards. Collecting NBA cards and Funko pops isn’t necessarily bad, but the former got rocked with the insane amount of Panini cash grab they unloaded to the public while the latter is good it also made my WFH office a Filbar’s store with a bed.
These are not just collectibles.
These are my investments.
