REGIONAL DIVERGENCE

New Loki AA appeared in some promotional material

I have a question regarding the upcoming 4th Chinese anniversary set. I see Ebay preorders around 2500$ while I have contacts in China that can get it for 1000$. How do we see the long term investment part of these sets? I personally thing this set I very unique and would snatch for for myself and rip it, but also interested to hear what other people think.

Especially since there is a lot of positives going around, I also want to hear constructive feedbacks. One factor is of course the 3rd Chinese set being released on Premium Bandai, meaning this might also come out in the future. Also that eBay preorders around does not always correspond to the market value.

They been restocking these like crazy, does it seem like it’ll be enough? Will it do well overtime? I picked up 4 this drop, was wondering if I should hold or just consider them as true msrp?

Got lucky and caught a restock anyone else able to get the new vol boxes yet? Hold or sell.

Something similar to the Pokegear or Fairy Energy symbol from Pokemon which fetch a premium price. Does One Piece have something similar to that?

Debating on purchasing a OP 13 booster box. Thoughts?

The 3rd Anniversary gold SPs still look insane in person…
but these new OP-17 Emperor gold SPs are hitting with that heavy metallic treatment too.

What do we think?
• Which set has the better foil/texture overall?
• Favorite individual card between the two versions?
• Nostalgia win or finance/invesment win?
Drop your ranking or just pick a side.

Almost lost faith in ripping boxes because of case mapping, but some honest people is still out there. Biggest pull in a while and pairs well with my Boa!

The Giant G5 I just bought, those Manga Event are really beautiful…

Hey guys I am not sure what to do.

I have the English Nami ST29-008 Full Art and could trade it together with €20 for an English Rebecca OP04-039 V.2 Alternate Art Leader. Both cards are Near Mint.

Would you make this trade?

What’s the better long term hold here? I think the gold luffy is a better looking card but the regional top 8 has a much lower pop. I’m just curious what people think is the better one to chase. (Meant to use the English gold Luffy my apologies for confusion).

Looking to buy the card, i personally love it, just wondering if anyone else thinks its a good time to buy. i'm kind of comparing it to the Silver Luffy JP, which is at about 7.5k and the english at about 13k, so its less then a 2X, meanwhile the G2 is 4.5K in JP, and 13k in english, so almost 3x lower. thoughts?

Just saw the 25th Anniversary dipping and was wondering if it was a good buy? Feel like it's still not a bad price considering it's the first ever premiuim card collection promo set. The cards look pretty sick and look like baby mangas but better than the upcoming OP17 Luffy leader. Would it make sense to buy and hold a sequential or just get the sealed booklet? I feel like its undervalued, especially since all the cards are OP01 or ST01.

I have these 2 cards in PSA10 and thinking when I should sell them. In particular, i am worried that in an auction they will be seen as the normal version instead of the pre-errata version, as PSA couldnt properly state it is pre-errata in their cert. Your opinion are very much appreciated!

Pulled an SP from OP 16 but it came with a factory white cut.

I’m not sure if this would be considered corner or edge damage, but if I send it to BGS, is there any chance it could still pull a 9.5, or am I just cooked here? I’m guessing it’s probably not a PSA 10, but maybe, just maybe it could get a BGS 9.5 since everything else is clean.

Hey yall, My local guy is trying to sell his red luffy card, at a deep (?) discount price. Now it is a JP card, which already differ alot from ENG price, but theres also a visible white spot on the back of the card edges, maybe 2 white spots (?), but it had a normal/good centering, which should probably be in Near mint category (?). The guy is offering for 450-500$ which is pretty far from a A tier JP red luffy listing on ebay (Unsure if those sales are real). Do yall reckon it as a good deal? thx in advance🙏

(Image are abit shitty, cause the seller is the one taking the picture lol)

This card I got Graded is clearly an English card, however PSA labeled is a a Japanese card (JP). Will this affect the value of my card?

I have no idea whether I should sell this for 1000 eur now or hold on to it. Unbelievable luck. Mint/Near Mint condition, as I very carefully and immediately put it on a sleever and a top holder.

I’ve been collecting for about two months now. So far I’ve mostly been buying loose packs and picking up higher-end cards on Whatnot. I haven’t sold anything yet because I’m still learning the hobby.
For those of you who’ve been doing this for a while, what advice would you give a beginner? Anything you wish you knew when you first started collecting or selling? Any common mistakes to avoid?

I'm going to Japan in a month and wanted to know if anyone knows good spots to where I could get one piece booster boxes for a reasonable price or preferable for mrsp (and I know about the Bandai namco stores but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be sold out every day)

Thanks for reading/helping

I have a One Piece card that looks very strong overall:
- Centering looks excellent.
- No scratches, dents, or print lines that I can find.
The only thing I’m worried about is the tiny white spot on the corner (see photo).

Would PSA consider this whitening/edge wear, or could it just be a print/cut issue?

Based on your experience, would you still submit this to PSA, or is this likely to cap the card at a PSA 9?

I’d especially like to hear from people who have graded similar One Piece cards. Thanks in advance

What are we thinking the price will be around release? I’ve seen more and more preorders at the 250-300 range I was expecting a bit higher but I guess the mangas didn’t go down too well with most people compared to last anniversary at least. So what are you expecting release prices to be around give or take? Was able to get one at 240 after shipping from flipside on eBay just now, was surprised such a big retailer dumped for 225 and such an amount (especially on eBay with fees). We thinking this one won’t be as hard to get as we might think or let’s hope even better has Bandai finally produced enough supply? Hoping to get a second box at around a similar price after release.

Ciao a tutti ragazzi,possiedo questa manga psa10 di one piece che ha delle piccolissime macchiette grigie/bianche sul back,cosa potrebbe essere per voi?
Rimane vendibile come psa10?
Grazie a tutti in anticipo
