How to check a Lorcana card's value by printing
Price a Disney Lorcana card by its exact printing: set, collector number, rarity and finish, then a dated sold price. Why one card name can carry three prices.

To check a Disney Lorcana card’s value, identify the exact printing before you look at any price. Read the collector number, confirm the set, name the rarity and note whether the card is foil. Then find recent sold prices for that printing, in that finish and condition, and write down the date. One card name can carry three or more prices, from a nonfoil copy to a foil one to an Enchanted version.
Why does one card name carry several prices?
Because each printing and each finish sells on its own. One Legendary card from Archazia’s Island, the seventh set, shows how far prices can differ:
| Mickey Mouse - Inspirational Warrior | Card number | TCGplayer market price on September 25, 2026 | TCGplayer report, September 16, 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legendary, foil (Cold Foil on TCGplayer) | 7-200 | $22.88 | $19.05 |
| Enchanted, foil (Holofoil on TCGplayer) | 7-221 | $377.41 | $339.57 |
The nonfoil Legendary is card 7-200, with a TCGplayer market price of $1.72 on September 25, 2026.
TCGplayer’s report covers only Near Mint copies with at least ten sales from August 14 to September 13, 2026. The other column holds TCGplayer market prices dated September 25, so read each column on its own terms. Same name, same set, same rules text: the finish and the printing make the difference.
A card’s single headline price is its highest-priced printing, with that printing named beside it. What matters is the price of the exact printing you hold.
What do you read on the card?
Start at the bottom of the card. Our guide to Lorcana rarities explains each symbol.
| What to read | Where it is | Why it matters for price |
|---|---|---|
| Collector number | The bottom band, written over the set’s count, such as 42/204 | Names the card within its set |
| Set | Confirm it in a card database | Numbers repeat from set to set |
| Rarity symbol | Beside the collector number | Names the rarity, and a special printing |
| Finish | The card’s surface, foil or nonfoil | Each finish has its own price |
| Condition | The card itself | Each condition, and each grade, sells apart |
Each set runs its own series of collector numbers, so a number alone cannot identify a card. Each printing is written as set and number together, such as 11-1 for the first card of Winterspell, the eleventh set, or 7-200 for card 200 of the seventh. Our card number and card set entries cover both terms.
How do you spot a special printing?
By the number first. Enchanted printings sit above the set’s count. In The First Chapter, Elsa - Spirit of Winter carries number 42 of the set’s 204, and its Enchanted printing carries 207. Epic and Iconic printings are numbered above the count too. An Enchanted card also has a six-sided rarity symbol and a borderless, full-art foil face.

Our guide to Lorcana Enchanted cards and box contents covers each special rarity’s look, and the Enchanted entry explains the term.
Which reprints should you watch for?
Reprints share a name, and each has its own price. Fabled brought back cards from past sets, and TCGplayer lists each set’s printing apart. Its September 16, 2026 report shows both printings of Stitch - Carefree Surfer, from The First Chapter and from Fabled, as separate entries. It gave the Fabled printing, in Normal, a Market Price of $20.07, and says that printing picked up a UV spot varnish over the art and a holographic foil rarity icon.
So match the set as well as the name. A sale of the First Chapter Stitch is not a comp for the Fabled one.
Where do you look a printing up?
- Ravensburger’s companion app. It has a visual card database, with card renders that show the foil treatments, and tools to manage your cards.
- A fan-run card database. The one used here lists every known printing of a card with its rarity, its number and an approximate TCGplayer market price for each finish.
Use the card’s page in a Lorcana card database app to confirm the set and number, then match the art and the finish to your copy. The app’s renders let you compare foil treatments by eye.
Where do you read a dated price?
Use completed sales of the exact printing and finish, and ignore asking prices. TCGplayer’s Market Price is built from recent sales on its own site. Our guide to finding what a card sold for sets out the method: gather several recent sales of the same printing in the same condition, take the middle one, and date it. The guide to market, listed and sold prices explains what each figure measures.
Search with the finish in mind. TCGplayer names Lorcana finishes Normal, Cold Foil and Holofoil, so add the right one to a search. Treat price figures as reference prices, not sale prices or appraisals, and check recent sold listings for your exact printing and condition. A market price is built from sales, and comps are the recent sales of the same card you compare.
What about promo cards?
Price each by its own printing. Promo printings carry an event or product mark in place of a standard rarity symbol, and TCGplayer files them in sets of their own, such as D23 Promos. Its September 16, 2026 report put Mickey Mouse - Brave Little Tailor, a nonfoil promo handed out in 2022, at a Market Price of $1,142.80. Promos also come in products: each Hyperia City prerelease box holds one promo card. The promo card entry covers the term.
Does condition change the price?
Yes. A raw card is priced by its condition, and our guide to card condition grades explains the steps. A graded card is a separate item: compare it only with sales of the same grade from the same company, and check its cert number on the grader’s site. Our guide to whether a card is worth grading weighs the fee, and Rip.fan’s grading cost calculator shows the cheapest and fastest CGC and SGC service levels for a card’s declared value.
Where do Rip.fan’s price pages fit?
Rip.fan’s card price pages cover Pokémon, so for Lorcana use the sold-price method above. The Pokémon card pages group those prices by set. Our guides to checking a One Piece card’s value and a Yu-Gi-Oh! card’s value apply the same method to other card games, and the trading card hub collects the rest.
A quick checklist before you buy or sell
- The collector number and the set match the listing.
- The rarity symbol matches, and so does the finish: nonfoil, foil or Enchanted.
- The condition, or the grade and the grading company, match.
- The price comes from sales of that printing and finish, with a date.
If any line fails, the price you are reading belongs to a different printing.
