A Doctor Who trading card, part of the Magic: The Gathering game, has jumped in price, enjoying a 730% hike in the past week.

The card is of the RMS Titanic — not the iconic and doomed vessel of 1912, but the alien duplicate as seen in Voyage of the Damned, about to be hit by the three asteroids that turn a pleasant little trip above planet Earth with Kylie Minogue into a festive Poseidon Adventure-type escape with angelic, killer robots.

The card has gone from being worth 60¢ on 20th June 2025, up to… well, $5. But that’s not the most impressive one. The foil variant has gone from $9 to $47. It might continue to go up too.

It’s apparently because, as War Gamer says, “vehicles can now be commanders, and no doubt players have been searching for the best legendary vehicle cards to build a unique deck around.” Honestly, it’s all Raxacoricofallapatorian to me, but fans of Magic: The Gathering will surely be licking their lips and rubbing their hands together enthusiastically about the notion. If they have the card, that is.

The site’s Matt Bassil goes on to say:

“I definitely expected to see more decks to explain this kind of spike, though perhaps the Doctor Who cards sold worse (and are now rarer) than I realized.”

It’s interesting that these cards came out a little while ago now, but buzz was stunted and never seemed to pick up too greatly. Is the intersection of fans of Magic and Doctor Who too slight? Or have we just overlooked the series due to unfamiliarity here at the DWC (and on most other Who sites)?

Okay, so a card now being worth either $5 or $47 isn’t a big thing, but it’s still fun to know. And heck, you might’ve got the card yourself; in which case, that’s nto a bad investment, particularly if it goes up in price again too…
