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 in the brand new community.
Star Wars Unlimited may just be establishing itself in the TCG market, yet already with the first set, players are trading cards for hundreds of dollars each.
While a typical Booster Box will run you up to $119.99 USD, the tantalizing chance of unpacking one of the more lucrative cards is what keeps everyone coming back for more.
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.
The odds of finding the above are as follows, thanks to a breakdown on the official Star Wars Unlimited website:
- 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 4608 chance (0.0217%) of finding one.
So while Foils, Hyperspaces, and combinations of both are still incredibly rare, it’s Showcase cards proving the most valuable early on in Star Wars Unlimited.
Most expensive cards in Star Wars Unlimited
As Star Wars Unlimited has only just hit store shelves, and with Booster Packs exceedingly hard to come by with stock selling out across the globe, prices of individual cards in constantly changing.
As more Boosters eventually get out in the wild, 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.
10. Hera Syndulla – Spectre Two (Showcase): $164.59
Kicking off the list is Twi’lek Leader Hera Syndulla with her own Showcase card. While initially declining in value, this Showcase has stabilized somewhat around the $160-$180 mark, with the current market value teetering on the lower end at this point in time.
9. Chewbacca – Walking Carpet (Showcase): $168.35
Everyone’s favorite ‘walking carpet’ Chewie comes in next with this Leader Showcase card storming up the charts since the first set’s release. While currently at a market price of $168.35, this one seems destined to gradually increase in value.
8. Grand Moff Tarkin – Oversector Governor (Showcase): $172.71
Tarkin comes in next with his Showcase card running for a pretty penny. This Leader has gained a foothold in the meta of late, leading to a surge in the cost of his Showcase variant.

5. Sabine Wren – Galvanized Revolutionary (Showcase): $264.58
