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, 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 settling in and Set 3 only just teased, 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.
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. Han Solo – Worth the Risk (Showcase) – $363.98
Han Solo’s Set 2 Showcase kicks off the list in 10th place, as players build new decks around his cost-cutting methods. Styled around the 2018 flick based on the titular character, this variant is all about the risk-reward of damaging your own units to get them out earlier.
9. Sabine Wren – Galvanized Revolutionary (Showcase): $345
Sabine is back in the top 10 as her Set 1 Showcase climbs up the charts once again. Still one of the most aggressive Leaders in the game, Sabine is wrecking shop once more in Set 2 competitions, proving to be one of the most common deck types at Gen Con 2024.
8. Jabba the Hutt – His High Exaltedness (Showcase): $374
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 sought-after Showcase variants, with individual sales running for just shy of $500 already.
7. The Mandalorian – Sworn To The Creed (Showcase): $393
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 seventh stop in this list.
6. Han Solo – Audacious Smuggler (Showcase): $435
While having climbed to the fourth most expensive during Set 1, Han Solo now sits in sixth 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 $435.
5. Kylo Ren – Rash and Deadly (Showcase): $456
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.
4. Rey – More Than a Scavenger (Showcase): $462
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.
3. Emperor Palpatine – Galactic Ruler (Showcase): $501
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): $626
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 $626, 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): $794
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. Darth Maul – Revenge at Last (2024 Convention Exclusive): $100
First up we’ve got a Set 3 card in fifth place as Darth Maul’s 2024 Convention Exclusive has already sold for a pretty penny. While it’s obviously early days regarding the first Con Promo Pack, value is already higher than any individual card in the game, and given their rarity, don’t expect these to get any cheaper in the coming months.
4. Kylo Ren – Killing the Past (2024 Convention Exclusive): $100
In fourth place we have Kylo Ren with his own 2024 Convention Exclusive variant. While his Set 2 Leader card has certainly become a staple in the meta lately, his Unit card is no slouch either with its whopping statline and tremendous synergy with Rey.
3. Asajj Ventress – Count Dooku’s Assassin (2024 Convention Exclusive): $125
Next on the list is another Set 3 card getting out early as Asajj Ventress joins the mix. The first tease of the new Exploit mechanic, Ventress can spring onto the board for free if you completely enable the new function.
As the first we’ve seen of this iconic character in Star Wars Unlimited, the dazzling Con-exclusive art makes her one of the most in-demand across the board today.
2. Darth Vader – Commanding the First Legion (2024 Convention Exclusive): $160
None other than Darth Vader’s unit card comes in second place. Though not just the regular unit card, as the trend continues here with the 2024 Convention Exclusive promo variant.
With his Set 1 version having previously sold for as high as $280 a pop, it’s no surprise to see Vader’s rarest variant topping the list for individual sales.
1. 2024 Convention Exclusive Promo Pack
While breaking the rules as a pack of cards, the 2024 Convention Exclusive Promo box tops the list as the most expensive Star Wars Unlimited item outside of the Showcase tier. Announced earlier in 2024, these ultra-rare cards are being sold exclusively at conventions in North America and Europe.
Not only are they in high demand thanks to their dazzling design, unlike anything else we’ve seen in Star Wars Unlimited to date, but they also offer the first chance to get your hands on two Set 3 cards before the new batch releases in November 2024.
