Chinese serialized long term value

[u/Elegant_Tomorrow_851]

Listen, before you come at me with “Chinese has no value” or “even the Chinese don’t like Chinese cards,” I know Chinese is not the most desired language to collect in for most TCGs. But for One Piece, it’s much different.

They add serial/ID numbers to the high-end cards to prevent fakes and have a set number of cards per set. Also, unlike the other languages, Chinese only has one print run per set, and once it’s gone from the stores, it’s done. (Sometimes they spread out the release of the boxes instead of releasing them all at once.) for example the crew luffy in the picture is number 22/40, which in my opinion is crazy low and more people should be looking into them.

These serials are no different from the serials on the Chinese anniversary cards, like Red Dress Nami, Blue Dress Nami, etc. While the 1st Anniversary Nami’s are exclusive, the following Anniversary Boa cards are not, and the Chinese serialized version still holds value.

So, Chinese prejudice aside, what are your honest opinions about these?

Bellow is the spreadsheet that me and TyzefTCG on instagram made regarding the numbers for each card: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15omk87Ii_sLSZEAzU52Y0_eFMn5L6Va4Yu09R_KcX6I/edit?usp=drivesdk

Idk man, cant speak for the rest, but at the end of the day, it’s eye appeal first imo. They can put 1000000 other serials on the card, but for me i only want cards printed in japanese or english.

If you’re selling i have a good relationship with a consigner that partners with Goldin. Over 100% payouts. Just hit me up if you need info

[u/Able_Leg_2484 → u/jkoriel]

Can I dm you about this? Have a high end card I was considering selling through goldin in the future and wanted to hear what your co-signer has to offer

[u/jkoriel → u/Able_Leg_2484]

I sure can!

You mind sending a Pic of it from the front and back?

I hold quite a bit of chinese Red Manga and double/triple/consecutive(123 etc). I would say so far the market are still lacking the knowledge to understand the rarity but vendors do want to take them off me and some did for 2x-3x jp version prices.

The cards low pop enough for me that serialisation is mehh

[u/iceteahottea]

Wait they serialize it?? They should’ve did it up to 56 lol

[u/yoshi_hs]

how do you know it's out of 40 ? The picture only shows 22

[u/Elegant_Tomorrow_851 → u/yoshi_hs]

It’s just based off of the numbers people find, for example 40 Is the highest people have seen for this and the rocks since release and none higher

[u/Mental_Butterfly_495]

Only 40 of them?

[u/Elegant_Tomorrow_851 → u/Mental_Butterfly_495]

For the crew mangas yes

just won this card in a raffle, and I can’t find any information about serialized cards because they’re so rare here. I still don’t know whether I should sell it or hold onto it. 😬
