- Set Championships are live right now at local game stores across North America and Europe, running through September 27.
- Three Championship qualifiers land September 26 in Raleigh, Malmo, and Orlando, all on the same weekend.
- Put October 2 in your calendar for Illumineer's Quest: The Great Hunny Rescue Celebration Event at local stores.
- Mickey Mouse - Bob Cratchit is up 215% this week. Something is moving in the market and it is worth paying attention to.
Set Championship season is live. If your local game store is running Attack of the Vine! Set Championships, you have until September 27 to get in. That is seven days from today. Check with your store directly, because these events run on individual store schedules, and missing the sign-up window is the only way to lose before you sit down.
This is the big one for the set. Set Championships are not a fun side event. They feed into the larger competitive structure, and the results shape what people think is worth playing going into the next month. If you care about where the format is heading, this is where you find out.
Two other things are wrapping up today, September 20. The Disney Lorcana Experience at Disneyland Paris ends tonight, and the Lore League Senigallia CCQ in Italy closes today as well. If you were at either, that was your weekend. For everyone else, the focus now shifts to what is coming.
The next big moment is September 26, and it is a crowded one.
Three Championship qualifiers open on the same day. The CCS $10,000 Lorcana Weekend runs in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Malmo Game Week Lorcana Open #3 opens in Malmo, Sweden. And Pro-Play Summit Orlando starts in Orlando, Florida.
A CCQ is a Championship qualifier, which means finishing well there earns you a path toward higher-level play. These are not casual events. They draw competitive players and the decks they have been testing all season.
When cards move together during an active championship season, it usually means something is showing up in lists.
That is a genuinely busy day for competitive Lorcana, across two continents. If you are near any of those three cities and you have been grinding Set Championships, September 26 is the date to have cleared.
The week that follows is quieter but still has two events worth noting. Rarehuntershop CCQ opens October 3 in Austria. Game Grid Open 2026 CCQ also opens October 3 in Utah. Two more qualifier paths, two more chances, and they split cleanly between Europe and North America if travel is a factor.
For everyone who is not competing, October 2 is the one to watch. Illumineer's Quest: The Great Hunny Rescue is a celebration event at local game stores. Celebration events are a different animal.
They are designed to be approachable, and they tend to bring players in who are not grinding the qualifier circuit. If you have been meaning to get a newer player to a store event, that weekend is the right pitch.
Now, the price moves. Three cards had significant jumps in the last seven days, and the numbers are from our own price feed.
Mickey Mouse - Bob Cratchit went from $1.05 to $3.31. That is a 215% increase. A card that was sitting under a dollar and is now over three draws attention, especially during Set Championship season when people are locking down lists.
Milo Thatch - Getting His Hands Dirty moved from $3.95 to $8.09, up 105%. More than doubling in a week at that price point means real demand, not a single sale distorting the data.
Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse - Adventuring Duo climbed from $3.70 to $7.27, up 96%.
All three moving at once is the part worth sitting up for. These are not random fluctuations. When cards move together during an active championship season, it usually means something is showing up in lists.
We do not have Set Championship results yet, but these price moves are the market guessing at what is working. Whether you want to buy in before the price settles higher or hold off until results confirm it is your call. But the window on Bob Cratchit at a dollar is closed.
Here is what to actually do this week. If Set Championships are running near you, find your local store and confirm whether they still have slots open before September 27. That is the action with the shortest window.
If you are planning around September 26, the three qualifiers are worth watching for lists and results even if you are not attending. And put October 2 on the calendar for Illumineer's Quest. It is the kind of event that is easy to skip because it feels low-stakes, and it is usually the most fun one on the calendar.
