InkSight now tracks five TCGs

Star Wars: Unlimited and the Gundam Card Game have joined Disney Lorcana, the One Piece Card Game and Riftbound. Both new verticals are in beta, both are built on the same daily-snapshot engine as the rest of the site, and this note is an honest account of what works today and what does not.

Prices in this post are the August 13, 2026 (Star Wars: Unlimited) and August 13, 2026 (Gundam) snapshots

The short versionTwo new games, tracked with the same method as the other three: one TCGplayer snapshot per day, stored, and shown with the date attached. Star Wars: Unlimited ships with 7,766 cards across 28 sets plus a rotation explainer. Gundam ships with 1,833 cards across 22 sets, parallels included. Neither has the long price history the older verticals do, so the movers and analytics surfaces on both will read thin for a while — and we would rather say that than dress it up.

Star Wars: Unlimited

The Star Wars: Unlimited vertical lives at /swu/. As of the August 13, 2026 snapshot it carries 7,766 cards across 28 sets and print groups — the main sets from Spark of Rebellion through Legends of the Force, plus the promo streams that collectors actually chase: Organized Play, weekly play, judge, convention and prerelease printings. 592 of those rows are treatment cards we class as chase prints (serialized, showcase and the like), and 5,433 are currently Premier-legal.

Rotation is the axis that makes this game different from the other four, and it is the one thing we built a dedicated surface for on day one: /swu/rotation.html explains Premier versus Eternal in plain language and marks, per set, what is legal where. If you are pricing a card for a Premier deck, the legality chip matters as much as the number next to it.

C-3PO — Translation Protocol (Serialized) — A Lawless Time card art
C-3PO — Translation Protocol (Serialized)A Lawless Time · $999.99 lowest ask, August 13, 2026A serialized print. One listing can be the whole market, so read the ask as a range, not a quote.
Yoda — My Ally is the Force (Serialized) — Legends of the Force card art
Yoda — My Ally is the Force (Serialized)Legends of the Force · $787.47 TCGplayer Market, August 13, 2026Serialized Yoda. Market and lowest ask are far apart here — the gap itself is the signal.

One honest gap: the Star Wars: Unlimited feed does not yet carry the per-card confidence tier the Gundam feed does. That tier is derived from how much stored history a print has and how far the current print sits from its own trailing median, and SWU rows simply have not accumulated enough days for it to mean anything. Until they have, SWU pages show the measure name and the snapshot date and nothing more. They will not show a confidence badge that has no maths behind it.

Gundam Card Game

The Gundam Card Game vertical lives at /gundam/. As of the August 13, 2026 snapshot it carries 1,833 cards across every Bandai set TCGplayer catalogues — Edition Beta, the numbered main sets through Freedom Ascension, all ten starter decks, the token streams and the promo run. Parallels are tracked as their own prints rather than folded into the base card: 483 of the 1,833 rows are parallel printings, which is the bulk of the interesting money in this game.

Wing Gundam Zero (EW) (LR++) — Freedom Ascension card art
Wing Gundam Zero (EW) (LR++)Freedom Ascension · $3,687.46 TCGplayer Market, August 13, 2026Freedom Ascension LR++. Moderate confidence: 12 stored days and a trailing median close to the current print.

Freedom Gundam (Newtype Challenge 2026 Mission 1)Gundam Promotional Cards · $1,917.10 TCGplayer Market, August 13, 2026A Newtype Challenge promo — promos are tracked as distinct prints too.

Gundam rows do carry the confidence tier. On the August 13, 2026 snapshot the split is 1,052 moderate, 755 thin and 26 outlier. Practically: about 41% of the game is thin enough that a single listing sets the price, and the 26 outliers are prints whose current ask is so far from their own history that quoting them would be misleading. Those rows are labelled on the page and are excluded from every aggregate on /gundam/market-analytics.html.

What "beta" means here

It is not a disclaimer for its own sake. Three concrete consequences:

Master Gundam (LR++) — Freedom Ascension card art
Master Gundam (LR++)Freedom Ascension · $1,234.28 TCGplayer Market, August 13, 2026Moderate confidence, 12 stored days: quotable, but not the same evidence base as a Lorcana print with two years of history.
Darth Traya — Lord of Betrayal (Top 4) — Sector and Regional Promos: Season 1 card art
Darth Traya — Lord of Betrayal (Top 4)Sector and Regional Promos: Season 1 · $1,200.00 lowest ask, August 13, 2026A Season 1 regional promo. Listed once, so the page shows an ask and a date and stops there.

First, anything that compares today against a week or a month ago is only as good as the stored history behind it, and both these games have days rather than years. Movers lists will be short and the analytics index will move more than the older games' do. Second, surfaces we have not built for these games are simply absent from the menu — we do not link a Gundam collection tab to a Lorcana page and hope you do not notice. Third, if a number cannot be stated honestly, the page says so in words rather than printing a zero.

Char Aznable (C+) — Edition Beta card art
Char Aznable (C+)Edition Beta · $1,733.56 TCGplayer Market, August 13, 2026Edition Beta parallels are the deepest end of the Gundam market and the least liquid.
Qui-Gon Jinn — The Negotiations Will Be Short (Champion) — Sector and Regional Promos: Season 1 card art
Qui-Gon Jinn — The Negotiations Will Be Short (Champion)Sector and Regional Promos: Season 1 · $1,750.00 lowest ask, August 13, 2026Championship promos: real cards, near-zero liquidity. Treated as asks, dated, never averaged into an index.

Same method, five games

Nothing about the engine changed to add these two. Once a day we take a TCGplayer snapshot for every print in each game's catalogue and store it. Pages show the measure by name — TCGplayer Market price, or lowest ask — with the date of the snapshot they came from, which is why every figure in this post is stamped August 13, 2026 or August 13, 2026 rather than "today". Aggregates drop presale, outlier and grail rows so one thin print cannot drag a whole set's average. Our methodology page is the long version, and it now covers all five games.

If you want the daily read across everything, the market and movers surfaces still default to Lorcana, and each game has its own equivalents: One Piece, Riftbound, Star Wars: Unlimited and Gundam.

FAQ

How many cards does InkSight track now?

Across the two new games alone, 9,599 prints: 7,766 Star Wars: Unlimited cards on the August 13, 2026 snapshot and 1,833 Gundam cards on the August 13, 2026 snapshot. Disney Lorcana, One Piece and Riftbound continue unchanged.

Are the prices on the new pages the same kind of prices as the rest of the site?

Yes. One TCGplayer snapshot per day, stored, and labelled by measure — Market price or lowest ask — with the snapshot date attached. No intraday quotes and no modelled values anywhere.

Why do the Gundam pages show confidence badges and the Star Wars: Unlimited pages not?

Because the tier is computed from stored history and the SWU rows do not have enough of it yet. Rather than show a badge with nothing behind it, SWU pages show the measure and the date only. The badge will appear when the maths supports it.

Can I add Star Wars: Unlimited or Gundam cards to a collection or watchlist?

Not yet. Collection, watchlist and Pack Lab exist for Lorcana, One Piece and Riftbound only, so those menu groups are absent on the two new games instead of pointing at another game's page.

Is InkSight affiliated with the publishers?

No. Star Wars: Unlimited is a trademark of Fantasy Flight Games and Asmodee; InkSight is fan-made and not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Fantasy Flight Games, Asmodee, Lucasfilm or Disney. The Gundam Card Game and all related marks are trademarks of Bandai Co., Ltd.; InkSight is fan-made and not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Bandai. Prices come from public TCGplayer data.
