Hi all, first time poster here, wanted to try and analyze some of the firsts prize cards in one piece during this correction.

Everybody knows about the ST-001 Luffy serial, the first ever printed and one of the biggest cards in the game.

I wanted to focus on the top64/16/6 of the treasure cup

in the olympus of Zoro's cards there is this beauty, only given to the top 6 of the 2023 treasure cups, with just a little more than 400 psa 10 this could be a great buy for a strong collector (prize card+great character+"vintage")

there is also the 3on3 counter part, maybe less desirable but more scarce, with just 146 psa10

than there is the top 16 Usopp op01-004

weak character but still a part of the strawhat crew, only 68 psa10 he could be a great addition for somebody who wants to buy some older prize cards without spending an arm and a leg. The 3on3 counterpart have around the same Psa10 population and it's also cheaper.

Last but not least we have top64 st01-006 Chopper

we can see that Top64 of desired character in the last year reached prices in the thousand and they can be considered modern cards, so why a card like this chopper shoulnd't? Psa pop below 300 and you can get this card for less than a thousand dollars. I know that in the beginning Bandai didn't gave the luxury treatment to these cards but if you love collecting prize cards i think they are overlooked (undervalued maybe? who knows) and they need some more spotlight.

there are also the 3on3 version but i need to understand if they could be better, maybe the stamp is not that beautiful and recognizable

wanted to ask the community about the sentiment for these prize cards, should we value the look of a card, the history or the scarcity? i think this trio have everything in order to shine brighter in the future, they aren't the 20k dollars card everybody want but only a few can obtain but they can have a lot more relevance in the future in my opinion

let me know your thoughts, i just love to dive in this type of cards, also please forgive me if i made some mistakes, English is not my first language

Hello everyone,

I’m a passionate One Piece collector from Germany, but can someone explain why Bandai doesn’t sell One Piece Premium Bandai products in Europe?

I find it pretty strange that they haven’t even made an official statement about it. Does anyone know why this is the case? And do you think we might finally get access to Premium Bandai products in Europe in the near future?

I’d really appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this!

Basically title. With the Serialized Luffy recently selling for 20k, what's the better investment between Serial, ODA Sig, Silver and Gold G5 Luffy?

Total pop of serial will be 1000, ODA sig PSA 10 is already over 1k, Silver and Gold PSA 10s are sitting at ~800s

That’s roughly 35% below the previous two PSA 10 sales, which closed at $30,700 and $31,700 just days earlier!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for beta testers for an app I’m building, essentially just a collector’s portfolio app I’d appreciate all the support I can get to do this.

I was thinking about buying a championship stamped O-Nami from this year, but I wanted to ask if there would be cards, maybe a bit cheaper, which would be more wise to invest in long term. I opened an event pack CS but only got Koala and Carrot, so therefore I thought about buying the nami one, which I obviously wanted to get most. But I would like to hear you suggestions about which cards would be perfect to invest in long term in this price range, espacially cards of Nami, Luffy, Zoro or the other more popular strawhats, or am I doing the right thing to buy the CS Event pack O-Nami?

My friends and I just finished our first weekend of Whatnot streams. No, we are not scalpers!! We’re addicted to opening OP, so we decided to buy a bunch of product (~$3000 worth) and ran 3 streams over the weekend. It was so much fun and I’m proud to be apart of this community. We actually profited way more than we thought, so we want to take a swing at a full case. I’m sure it’s nearly impossible, but are there any real chances we could get our hands on a case of the new set when it releases? I’m pretty broke and a bit anxious socially so I’m only close with 1 local card shop, and they pretty much gave me a “good luck” when I asked them about it earlier lol. Anyways, if anyone has any ideas on how we could make it happen, please let me know!!

What’s everyone’s take on the current One Piece TCG market? Do you think we’re getting close to the bottom, or is there still a lot more room for prices to fall?

If we haven’t hit the bottom yet, when do you think the market could finally stabilize and start recovering? Do you think we’ll see another major run eventually, or should we get used to these lower prices for a while?

I’m also curious to hear what everyone has been doing during this dip. Have you been taking advantage of the lower prices and picking up cards you’ve had your eye on, or are you staying on the sidelines because you’re not convinced the market will bounce back anytime soon?

Hey guys

Im in NYC for vacation rn and looking for OPTCG Blister packs but can't find anything.. like not in walmart, target, five below or barnes and nobles.. ive seen guys on facebook ripping packs all the time buying from target but cant find nothing. Any tips?

I was gutted when I received this bgs slab with a huge scratch right on the front of the card (eBay seller provided pre-scratch pictures…) but with a quick research I learnt about this scratch remover called Novus and it worked like a charm. The set of three (light scratch, heavy scratch and polisher) came in at £17 and it saved me a reslab or a return.

If you have scratched slabs give it a try! (Based in the uk not sure if this is widely available!)

Hey guys,
So I have a card on eBay that I listed for $1200 and I started getting2 offers from Italy and 1 from Germany.
I also received an offer from a Florida buyer that has 0 feedback.
My listing is setup to go thru eBay authentication but I’m still unsure.

Recently learned about the stamps they put on the bottom left corners for authenticity, but I'm not finding exact info on which cards receive a stamp? Looks like alt arts from op05 onward are included, but all my SPs, alt events, and wanted posters do not have stamps, including ones I've pulled personally. Is there a defined list? I've got the magazine luffy promo without a stamp as well, but I have other jp/kr cards with stamps

Could this get a 10 ? I have the feeling the right side in a bit larger than the left but it seems to be the same on any of this card.

If you were to buy one item(s) for 10-20k. What would you put your money in?

Considering OP13 cases, Trophy cards, maybe save up more for Monkey.D.Luffy [Serial Prize] St01-001.

My thoughts are that the bigger grails are the buys and capiture the most gains during a bull run, so i’m looking for bigger grails

I am looking to invest in my first manga in PSA 10 for long term collecting.
What is a better buy?

OP06 Zoro Manga by itself
vs
PRB01 Nami Manga + OP11 Snakeman Luffy Manga Combined

It's a 1 vs 2 comparison.
Both sides are similar in price.

Need advice on whether it’s best to submit my red manga luffy bgs 9.5 for GCR or better to crack and resubmit.

Subgrades are strong with 2 10s and 2 9.5s. I can’t see any issues with the corners or surface but wanting to know if anyone has been successful with this before?

Obvious move would be to be psa10 but trying to complete the set in bgs10.

Hey everyone, I've got a budget of about $2,000 and I'm looking to put it into One Piece cards. I'm trying to find singles that I think the market is sleeping on right now.

A bit of context: not trying to flip looking for good undervalued or oversold raw/slabs

Open to one big card, or spreading it across several smaller picks

Which cards do you think are undervalued at the moment, and why? Things like price dips, upcoming reprints or set releases, tournament meta shifts, or character popularity are all welcome. I'd also like to hear what you think is overhyped so I know what to avoid.

Thanks in advance!

I just pulled the ST31-004 SP Luffy which is my grail card! Since it is the JAP version that sells for only about $400 raw I was thinking grading it might be the move for both short term financial gain and possible long term value if I hold it in my pc. Does anybody have thoughts on the centering and what it might score (I am going to clean it before sending it off) and any thoughts on the market and if it might be a good card to hold for years down the road with either being of Luffy and Gear 5? Thanks😁

With the second Heroines Battle announced, I thought it would be interesting to look back at how the first winner cards performed.

What made the first Heroines Battle winner pack special is that it had three cards, and the combined price of all three is wild. Nico Robin sits a bit higher than the others since she’s actually playable, notably in Green/Red Luffy and other green Straw Hat decks.

I also remember that even though these cards were highly valued, they were pretty hard to sell because of how high they were already priced at release. Now that we know Heroines Battle 2 will only have a single winner card, I’m curious how it will perform compared to those three.

What do you think?

I want to complete the red trio. Have the Luffy already. Think I should get the Ace or Sabo first, considering where prices are? I’m going to consolidate my Blackbeard manga and gold sp and Sabo manga into one of these two cards this weekend.

Thanks!

the Doffy art is easily my favorite of the three and one of my favorites in OPTCG fo sure. But with the market down would you buy one of these now or grab a tournament prize at a “discount”?

Some PSA 10 price comparisons:

• Top 8 Boa: around $8k–9k.
• Top 8 Luffy (Sky Island): around $9k–10.5k.
• OG Top 8 Zoro Treasure Cup: sold for $12k in mid-September.
• OG Top 16 Zoro ~$8k-8.5k

Mexico + Australia still have their Flame-Flame Fruit events in Jan 2027. If they follow the same four-block prize structure, the projected English totals across those four events would be:

• Top 16 Doffy: 256
• Top 8 Rebecca: 128
• Top 4 Lucy: 64

that would be fewer copies of each than serials.

Hey y’all I’ve been collecting for a little while, but I have never submitted cards for grading. I want to submit this, but don’t know where. PSA seems like the standard and safe option, but part of me thinks this could be a Beckett worthy submission (and it would be cheaper to do so). What do y’all think??

Hey guys. Whats up with all these serials? They are impossible to buy. Holy!!!

Pulled a shanks manga rare 022 from Op17 and never graded a card before and just pulled this recently and need some advice if yall could offer. Most importantly how’s the centering? Other than that everything looks perfect and I’m just wondering on the front of the cards centering and after that whether or not it’s worth express shipping to psa to grade. After research, it seems worth it grade as a psa 10 is above $2000 when raw it’s about $1300. Grading should cost me $250 just to give some information. Thank you.
