Pippin, Guard of the Citadel (Showcase) Price
MARKET NOTE: PIPPIN, GUARD OF THE CITADEL (SHOWCASE)
Updated 2026-05-06
Pippin, Guard of the Citadel (Showcase Foil) is grinding higher on steady accumulation. The card has climbed +10.9% over thirty days and +1.0% in the last week, building from a $2.54 trough to its current $3.14 ask, a +23.6% swing that keeps it +6.1% above the recent peak of $2.96. This isn't explosive movement, but it's directional and consistent, suggesting quiet demand without panic or dump pressure. The Rare slot in Lord of the Rings has shown resilience across the secondary, and foil Showcase copies typically hold premium to non-foil variants due to scarcity and aesthetic demand from both spec and casual players. What matters next is whether this card can hold above $3.00 through the next correction cycle or if the floor erodes back toward $2.70. Watch for supply dumps from set liquidations; if they don't materialize, this has room to run higher.
