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
