For the third quarter in a row, One Piece managed to outsell a member of the Big 3 TCGs. Yu-Gi-Oh! actually grew this quarter thanks to the success of Rarity Collection V, which brought extended-art cards to the game for the first time. One Piece had a slightly weaker quarter than Q1, when its release schedule was more crammed. But neither of those factors could erase One Piece’s overall lead.
Disney Lorcana jumped three slots with the blockbuster release of Wilds Unknown in May, which introduced Pixar characters to the game and reignited interest in Disney Lorcana among speculators. Wilds Unknown boxes are holding at almost $100 over MSRP more than a month after release, while the top card in the set goes for four figures—two facts that are inspiring confidence in the set’s long-term prospects, and Disney Lorcana’s place in the market.

The top sets this quarter were mostly as expected. Magic, Pokémon, and One Piece each claimed spots according to their size on TCGplayer, with earlier sets (Secrets of Strixhaven, Adventure on Kami’s Island) outselling later sets due to having more time on the platform over the course of the quarter.
