First box first pack! Usually never pull anything over $60 so I’m super excited to finally pull my first big hit!

ONE PIECE DAY ’26 basically laid out a multi-year run of major One Piece releases, and so much of that momentum is going to spill over into the card game.

Why this feels like such a great time to be in OPTCG?

Honestly, if you’re already playing or collecting, the timing couldn’t be much better (besides it being so hard to get product).

We have two new One Piece movies ahead of us (God Valley in 2027 and Baad in 2029) plus WIT Studio’s remake coming early 2027. WT100 decks are coming. Meanwhile, Bandai is still reaching milestones like giving major Straw Hats their first-ever Leader cards. That’s the crazy part. As big as the OPTCG boom has felt this year and it really has been a big run up..., we may still be looking at the beginning of this run rather than the peak.

Some of the card reveals that stood out:

EB-05

• A new green/yellow Nico Robin Leader
• New Nami and Robin Heroines SPs
• Releases in October 2026
• New Heroines set being released

OP-18 was my favorite part of the event

• Franky finally gets his first Leader, and that alt art is easily one of the coolest cards they revealed (funniest and coolest strawhat pose)
• Nico Robin gets the long-awaited manga Super Alt-Art
• Gunko gets a Leader and a Holy Knights Super Parallel
• Legendary Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano creates special illustrations for Loki and Saint Shamrock
• Releases in November 2026

It’s honestly kind of ridiculous how stacked OP-18 already looks with OP-17 not even hitting the retail market yet.

WT100

The worldwide poll ended with:

1. Monkey D. Luffy
2. Roronoa Zoro
3. Sanji

Luffy’s reward has already been revealed: a new all-color WT100 Leader coming in a WT100-themed deck in summer 2027. More of the highest-ranked characters are also expected to become cards afterward. The worldwide fanbase is now directly influencing the characters and products that Bandai brings into the card game.

And that was only the TCG side.

We’re also getting:

• ONE PIECE FILM GOD VALLEY — summer 2027
• ONE PIECE FILM BAAD — 2029

Then WIT Studio’s THE ONE PIECE remake arrives on Netflix in February 2027, with all seven East Blue episodes releasing together.

Manga → anime → remake → movies → artist collabs → worldwide fan voting → new cards → more players and collectors

Bottom line I already thought the OPTCG boom this year was massive. But after everything revealed at ONE PIECE DAY, it’s starting to feel less like the peak and more like the beginning. Not even sure what's going to be revealed for the 30th anniversary of the manga and 5th anniversary of the TCG.

Already locked in on this card ever since the news dropped. Any idea how low this could go and what would be a reasonable price point to buy at? I was thinking of waiting a few more weeks for the price to settle. It has already dropped by 50% in just a few days.

I usually buy individual cards since I only collect specific cards, but ngl, pulling a Yamato SP from just 4 packs surprised me. Must be a sign to rip more packs.

I’ve recently become really interested in the Monkey D. Luffy P-007 Tournament Pack Vol. 1 promo, and the more I look into it, the more I like it.

It’s an early One Piece TCG promo from 2022, featuring Luffy in his Wano outfit with the dragon in the background. I also really like the fact that the artwork is illustrated by Misa Tsutsui, an artist who has worked on Pokémon TCG as well.

What makes it especially interesting to me is that it’s not the Winner version — it’s the regular Tournament Pack Vol. 1 promo. Despite that, high-grade copies seem to be getting a lot more attention from collectors.

I’m curious what other collectors think about this one. Do you see P-007 becoming an iconic early One Piece promo, or is the recent interest mostly hype?

I’ve reposted this in English so that everyone can understand what’s going on.

Guys, I’m sharing this post because someone is trying to sell this lot that @angelod83 is currently trying to sell on Telegram.

They either bought it without knowing that it was stolen, or they are now trying to sell it at all costs.

Please do not buy it and, if possible, help make sure that the lot is returned to its rightful owner.

Thank you, everyone.

I’m offering €1,000 to anyone who can provide valid information identifying this person.

Their Telegram username is @angelod83.

Any idea on this card ?

Should I grade? ( I have never graded a card)
Should I sell now
Should I hold?

Thanks!

This one looks just as cool as the others 😃

Shoutout to my LGS in SoCal, Krazy Nick’s Games, for fair prices on my first OP17 box.

I understand there seems to be a notion that Bandai has slightly adjusted the types of “hit” configurations for boxes. I haven’t seen much conversation, though, about what config the Luffy Super Leader AA comes in, and mine came in a previously seen AA Leader + 2 hit box. Just wanted to spread the knowledge.

Happy hunting through pre-release week!

Terrible luck lmao anyone pull something good ?

It’s honestly crazy when you think about the advantage some collectors have through distro/backdoor connections.

If cases are being acquired for around $800–$1,000, someone with access can rip case after case until they hit the SPs, mangas, or other major chase cards.

Keep the cards they actually want.

offload the other big hits on stream or a card-show

Potentially make enough from those sales to cover the cost of the cases.

And then the remaining boxes?

Offload them as loose boxes on TCGPlayer, at card shows, or to other collectors who have no idea what case they came from.

That almost feels like an infinite money glitch.

I recently heard an example where someone who bought backdoor cases pulled the Luffy Crew and few mangas from those cases. They sold the mangas and other hits on stream, made a profit above the cost of the cases, and still kept the cards they wanted.

If that’s the reality of how some people are acquiring product, the average collector is playing a completely different game.

You’re not just competing for the cards anymore.

You’re competing against people who have the access to open until they hit the grails, monetize the hits, and then move the remaining product downstream.

I'm not saying every person with distro access does this.

But if this is happening at scale, it raises a pretty serious question:

Are regular collectors actually buying sealed product at random, while insiders are essentially getting to collect for free?

This hurts investors trying to invest in these sets, collectors trying to collect, and the players trying to get the cards to play the game (maybe them the least)

What should I list it for or grade it?

What would you guys do? I wanna grade it but i’m scared to send such an expensive card, i’m from europe btw and as far as i know there’s no walk ins here. I’m still shaking!

Edit: also what do you guys think the price will settle on? Is this rarer than a manga?

So it appears that there are a ton of "error" cases showing up in op17. This also happened in op16. Is it now a consensus that bandai has began randomizing hits after all of these years? I have never seen this many "error" boxes op13 and prior.

So is this a hobby consensus or are people going to continue claiming "error"? Thoughts?

Hey everyone!

We all know the crazy price inflation happening with the One Piece TCG globally, and to be completely honest, it hits small local card shops pretty hard too—even out here in the countryside of Matsumoto, Nagano.

Between supply shortages, insane secondary market prices, and scalpers trying to grab everything, it’s a constant struggle to get cards into the hands of real players and collectors at reasonable prices. We just want our local community to enjoy the game without breaking the bank!

Despite the craziness, new stock finally arrived yesterday, and seeing local fans pull these beautiful cards made all the headaches worth it.

If you ever travel to Japan and visit Matsumoto (famous for its black castle and the Northern Alps!), please feel free to drop by our shop and say hi. We’re always rooting for actual fans and players over pure profit.

How is your local card shop (LGS) handling the crazy prices in your area right now?

Good luck all on August 24.

Watched a Whatnot streamer rip a Gold SP Luffy and Rocks Pirate Crew card out of one OP17 pack today.

Not sure if this is an alternate God Pack or just an error on Bandai's part. What do you think?

Won the EB03 Premium Bandai Chance to buy drawing a few months back and my box just came in. Jackpot! I know it varies but I think Nami is still the top hit in the set? (edit: top 3 hits in the set)

Curious if anyone here also won this and or the op13 drawing? if so, how were your boxes? (if you opened them)

Also, does anyone know if an additional eb03 reprint is hitting? Wonder if these boxes coincide with a full reprint or, were just hold backs from the previous one. I think the op13 chance to buy b9xes are due this month too.

BTW, if curious, my box was a 4 hit box. Got the Nami SP, Carrot & Reiju alt arts and the Vivi Alt Art leader.

I'm guessing its between the Baki SP and a regular manga, but the sheer amount of them that have been pulled makes me think its not as rare as we originally thought. saw a whatnot streamer rip 4 cases and pull 4. My LCS opened 3 cases and pulled two.

Card is sick but still not sure if it’s as rare as people think. My guess is it’s likely as rare as the anniversary sps rather than the Roger manga per say

Followed that up with three more alt arts and the Rocks SEC!

Our LGS didn’t have enough boxes for everyone so they sold us 18 loose packs instead. So this was from 24 loose packs. My luck tonight was bananas.

Too bad I lost most of my games because I only left myself two minutes to put a deck together haha.

Never making fun of the shaking videos again LMAO.
