Market outlook
Rising Outlook 7/10
Promo scarcity and character popularity generally support long-term collectability, especially for event-limited foils. Pricing may be uneven in the short term, but low supply and recognizable IP tend to favor gradual appreciation for top-condition copies.
Next months. Expect price swings and occasional spikes when sealed or graded copies surface, with the strongest premiums likely for verified foil and graded 10 examples.
Long term. Over 1-3 years, the card should remain collectible and may appreciate steadily if Lorcana promo demand stays healthy, with the best performance likely in high-grade foil copies.
History
Baymax is the inflatable white healthcare companion robot from Disney’s 2014 film Big Hero 6, created by Tadashi Hamada to provide medical assistance and emotional support. In Lorcana, this version emphasizes Baymax’s healing role through damage removal and lore gain, reinforcing the character’s core identity as a protective support figure.
This promo version first released on December 7, 2024 as a Championship promo for Disney Lorcana’s 2024 European and North American Championship events, with the same card ID 9/C1 and alternate foil/non-foil distribution tied to event prizing.
- It was first revealed during the September 2024 Lorecast and later confirmed as a Championship promo release.
- The card is Legendary rarity in Azurite Sea and is illustrated by Brianna Garcia for the standard set version, while the promo features alternate art by Amber Kommavongsa.
- The promo existed in both foil and non-foil versions; the foil copies were reportedly limited to Top 8 players in the European and North American Championships, creating an extremely small foil population.

Collector notes
Condition. Check for edge whitening, corner wear, surface scratches, centering, and foil scuffing on the promo version. The non-foil copies may show a naturally faded or washed-out look according to collector reports, so color tone alone is not a reliable defect indicator.
Storage. Store in a soft inner sleeve and rigid top loader or semi-rigid holder, keep away from humidity and direct light, and avoid friction that could scuff the foil or matte surface. For the foil promo, minimize handling and use fresh sleeves for grading submissions.
Authenticity. Verify the correct card ID 9/C1, English text, and Championship promo presentation. Promo copies should show the official alternate-art promotional finish; compare the font, borders, and surface pattern with known authentic examples. Because this is a targeted event promo, unusually clean or overly glossy copies should be examined closely for alterations or customs.
