Most expensive Star Wars Unlimited cards

As with all Trading Card Games (TCGs), some cards are far more valuable than others. Star Wars Unlimited is no different so here’s a look at the most expensive cards thus far as the game carries its momentum forward into Set 2.

Star Wars Unlimited may just be establishing itself in the TCG market, yet already with the first two sets, players are trading cards for hundreds of dollars each.

While a typical Booster Box will run you up to $119.99 USD, at least, that’s the store price when in stock, the tantalizing chance of unpacking one of the more lucrative cards is what keeps everyone coming back for more. Naturally, with stock shortages across the board, booster prices, and subsequently, single prices, have all skyrocketed.

So if you’re getting stuck in with the new game and wondering what the absolute most valuable cards are thus far, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the full rundown of the most expensive Star Wars Unlimited cards.

Understanding card rarity in Star Wars Unlimited

To understand the value of cards in Star Wars Unlimited, you first have to understand the game’s rarity system. In each pack you have a chance to find cards from four tiers, they are as follows in order of rarity:

• Common
• Uncommon
• Rare
• Legendary (1 found in every 8 Booster Packs on average)

However, there’s far more to card rarity than just this list. Every single card in the game can be found with a Hyperspace variant (where artwork spills out of the border to fill the entire card) or a Foil variant (where backgrounds appear shiny). Better yet, if you’re extremely lucky, you can find versions of cards with both Hyperspace and Foil effects applied.

Thanks to a breakdown on the official Star Wars Unlimited website, we can share the odds of finding cards in these particular rarities.

• Foil card – Guaranteed 1 per Booster Pack
• Hyperspace card – 2 per 3 Booster Packs on average
• Hyperspace Rare / Legendary – 1 per 15 Booster Packs on average
• Foil & Hyperspace Rare / Legendary – 1 per 50 Booster Packs on average

Though topping the list above all else are the Showcase versions of select Leader cards. The odds of finding one of these are incredibly slim. With an average of 1 per 12 Booster Boxes open, not Packs, Boxes. You have a 1 in 4,608 chance (0.0217%) of finding one.

So while Foils, Hyperspaces, and combinations of both are still incredibly rare, it’s Showcase cards that are the most valuable in Star Wars Unlimited. 

Furthermore, with in-store events taking place every week now, reward cards have also become highly sought after.

Most expensive cards in Star Wars Unlimited

As Star Wars Unlimited is still in its first year on the market, with Set 2 only just becoming available, and with Booster Packs exceedingly hard to come by with stock selling out across the globe, prices of individual cards are constantly changing.

As more Boosters eventually get out in the wild with gradual restocks, new Sets are deployed, and more copies of each card are discovered, their value can fluctuate in the early market.

So while we’re about to list off the most expensive Star Wars Unlimited cards thus far, it’s worth bearing in mind that prices can change on a near-daily basis as the game is incredibly fresh.

Rest assured, we’ll be updating this list frequently to reflect changes in the market. 

With all that said, read on to see the most expensive cards in Star Wars Unlimited today, as per the Market Price found on TCGPlayer. All prices are in USD.

10. The Mandalorian – Sworn To The Creed (Showcase): $438

Lucasfilm

As one of the faces of Set 2, The Mandalorian Leader Showcase has become one of the most valuable right out of the gate. While Grogu doesn’t feature by his side in this particular piece of art, the Mando Showcase has nonetheless become one of SWU’s most prized pulls.

Set 1 didn’t include any Showcase variants for its starting Leaders, Luke and Vader, so with Set 2 breaking new ground, it only makes sense for Mando to take the tenth stop in this list.

9. Kylo Ren – Rash and Deadly (Showcase): $455

Lucasfilm

The most aggressive Leader of Set 2, and arguably the entire game, Kylo Ren’s Showcase card stands out from the pack as the ninth most expensive card in the game today.

Requiring just four resources to play, Kylo comes out extremely early and depending on the player’s hand size, can be one hell of a threat in the opening turns. With sales already topping $500 as the meta shakes out, expect this one to remain in the top 10 list for quite some time.

8. Han Solo – Audacious Smuggler (Showcase): $471

Lucasfilm

While having climbed to the fourth most expensive during Set 1, Han Solo now sits in eighth place overall. With his value in decline of late, a handful of Set 2 Leaders have quickly overtaken the iconic character.

Although individual sales of this card have gone for as much as $770 in the earlier weeks of Set 1, the current market price stands at around $400.

7. Boba Fett – Daimyo (Showcase): $476

Lucasfilm

Boba Fett makes his first appearance on this list as the Set 2 Leader card (Daimyo) has quickly become one of the more expensive Showcase variants in Star Wars Unlimited today.

Taking after Boba’s time atop the throne on Tattooine, this Showcase represents a more authoritative time in the character’s arc. Naturally, with a hugely beneficial effect and a well-rounded stat line to boot, it’s value is sure to only continue climbing from here.

6. Rey – More Than a Scavenger (Showcase): $478

Rey’s debut in Star Wars Unlimited has seen her Leader card flying up the charts with no time to waste. As soon as Set 2 burst onto the scene, her Leader card stood out as one of the most valuable, with various sales already clearing the $500 mark.

Able to support cheaper units with experience tokens, the Rey Leader card works best in control-oriented decks, helping you slow the pace of more aggressive archetypes. Beyond that, the Showcase artwork is objectively sensational.

5. Jabba the Hutt – His High Exaltedness (Showcase): $492

The beefiest Leader of them all, Jabba the Hutt has secured a spot on the most expensive list, despite only just arriving in Set 2. With a whopping 12 health, this 7-cost Leader sure isn’t easy to get rid of once deployed.

While it’s still early days yet as the meta evolves, Jabba has quickly become one of the more saught-after Showcase variants, with individual sales running for just shy of $500 already.

4. Bossk – Hunting His Prey (Showcase): $500

Lucasfilm

Emerging as one of the hottest Leaders in Set 2, Bossk has quickly climbed the ranks with one of the most expensive Showcase cards in Star Wars Unlimited.

A highly aggressive Leader, Bossk rewards play around Bounty cards, allowing players to double dip on their effects. Even with the Set 2 meta just taking shape, this Showcase has emerged among the most valuable finds in the game today.

3. Emperor Palpatine – Galactic Ruler (Showcase): $525

Lucasfilm

With Green control decks emerging as some of the strongest in Set 1, Emperor Palpatine has become the third-most valuable Leader in the game. As a result, the market price of his Showcase is just over the $500 mark, though individual sales are already going for as much as $650.

As one of the most powerful Leaders in the game thus far, even with Set 2 live, Papa Palp is among the most treasured under the Command Aspect.

2. Leia Organa – Alliance General (Showcase): $631

Lucasfilm

Princess Leia has officially stolen the second spot with her extremely valuable Showcase card. While prices for this particular item initially started slow, sales have only continued to climb since launch, pushing the market value to around $631, placing Leia over Palpatine.

As the meta evolves, and Leia grows more popular, individual sales for this Showcase card have gone for as high as $800 already.

1. Boba Fett – Collecting the Bounty (Showcase): $803

Lucasfilm

Topping the list as the single most expensive card in Star Wars Unlimited today is the Boba Fett – Collecting the Bounty Showcase. With its value only skyrocketing since launch, individual sales of this card are now nearing the four-figure mark.

While its value has plateaued somewhat in recent weeks, it remains the single most sought-after Showcase in the game today, even with Set 2 now available.

Particularly valuable due to its incredible power, the Boba Fett Leader card has become a staple of the early meta, dominating its fair share of events.

5. Krayt Dragon (Hyperspace & Foil): $61

Lucasfilm

The most intimidating Legendary of Set 2, it’s no surprise to see the Krayt Dragon make an appearance on this list. With 20 stats combined, and no painless way of removing it, this is a game-ender to end all game-enders.

4. Boba Fett – Disintegrator (Hyperspace & Foil): $64

Lucasfilm

If you’ve played against a Boba Leader deck, chances are, they have the Boba Fett Unit card to complement it. Synergizing all too well with Fett’s Firespray and the Leader card itself, Boba Fett’s Unit card has become extremely valuable, sitting at a market price of $64.

3. Poe Dameron – Quick to Improvise (Hyperspace & Foil): $69

Lucasfilm

As one of the most versatile cards Star Wars Unlimited has seen to date, Poe Dameron’s Set 2 debut made a splash right away. Not only does it come boasting a great 6-6 stat line for 5-cost, but it gives you plenty of options to work around just about any situation.

Quickly toppling the likes of Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker’s unit cards, Poe has now become the most valuable non-Showcase card of Set 2, and sits in third place overall. Expect this one to continue climbing as the meta evolves.

2. Darth Vader – Commanding the First Legion (Hyperspace & Foil): $80

None other than Darth Vader’s unit card comes in second place. Having previously sold for as much as $280, Vader has slowed down somewhat in recent weeks as more counters become prevalent in the meta. Though with his incredible ability to put further Units on the board, it’s still among the very best Legendary cards in Star Wars Unlimited today.

1. Mace Windu – Party Crasher (Champion): $87

Lucasfilm

As the first-ever Store Showdown reward, this Mace Windu variant initially exploded as the single most expensive non-Showcase card in Star Wars Unlimited. Just one of these was available per store, and as you guessed, it was only handed out to the lone winner of a Set 1 Store Showdown event. As a result, they’re extremely rare and naturally difficult to attain.

This unique artwork also comes for those who finish among the Top 8, Top 4, if you’re a Finalist, and lastly, this Champion version. Initially blowing up with a market price around the $370 mark, it’s dropped to a current value of $87.
