Why is Divine Departure OP10-019 (Japanese Royal Blood) price going up?
The One Piece Card Game market has experienced a massive wave of volatility over the last 24 hours. While some collectors are celebrating astronomical percentage gains on vintage promos, others are watching high-end "grail" cards undergo significant corrections.If you have been tracking the market, the most staggering movement involves Divine Departure OP10-019 from the One Piece Japanese Royal Blood set. This card has seen a staggering 741.67% increase, skyrocketing from $3.00 to $25.25 in a single day.
In this report, we will break down the data behind this spike, examine the massive surge in Luffy promos, and analyze the significant price drops affecting high-end trophy cards like the Boa Hancock Top Prize.
The Massive Spikes: Divine Departure and Luffy Promos
Is Divine Departure OP10-019 still going up?
The movement on Divine Departure OP10-019 (One Piece Japanese Royal Blood) is the standout story of the day. A jump from $3.00 to $25.25 represents a massive influx of demand or a sudden scarcity in the supply of raw copies.When looking at the graded market, the premium for high grades is notably tight. A PSA 10 copy is currently valued at $20, which is actually slightly lower than the current ungraded price of $25.25. This suggests that the "raw" market is moving much faster than the graded market can keep up with, or that collectors are currently prioritizing high-grade slabs that were priced during the previous lower equilibrium. Interestingly, BGS 10 copies are sitting at $26, showing a very narrow margin between a perfect BGS grade and a raw copy.
Why is Monkey.D.Luffy [Uta Deck Battle] P-061 price spiking?
While Divine Departure took the percentage crown, the Monkey.D.Luffy [Uta Deck Battle] P-061 (One Piece Promo) has seen a nearly identical level of explosive growth. This promo has surged from $5.18 to $32.72, a massive 531.66% increase.The graded data for this Luffy promo reveals a massive "PSA 10 Premium." While an ungraded copy sits at $32.72, a PSA 10 version is commanding $309.98. This indicates that while the raw market is experiencing a sudden price spike, the real value for long-term investors remains in the pristine, high-grade slabs. For those looking at mid-tier grades, a BGS 9.5 is priced at $160.50, showing a significant gap between the "loose" price and the "collector" price.
Are other Luffy and Ace promos following the trend?
The momentum isn't limited to the Uta Deck Battle promo. We are seeing a broader upward trend across several high-profile tournament and anniversary cards:* Monkey.D.Luffy [1st Anniversary Tournament] P-037 (One Piece Promo): This card moved from $43.75 to $54.89, a solid 25.46% increase. The graded market for this card is highly stratified. A PSA 10 is valued at a massive $568.97, whereas a PSA/BGS 8–8.5 is only $60. This shows that for this specific Luffy promo, the value is almost entirely concentrated in the highest possible grade.
* Portgas.D.Ace [Winner] OP07-053 (One Piece 500 Years in the Future): This winner card saw a 37.49% jump, moving from $44.09 to $60.62. The graded spreads here are relatively consistent, with a PSA 10 at $190 and a BGS 10 at $228.05.
Is Buggy [2nd Anniversary] OP09-042 a long-term trend?
The Buggy [2nd Anniversary] OP09-042 (One Piece Emperors in the New World) has also climbed, rising from $75.65 to $93, a 22.93% increase. Unlike the sudden "blip" seen in the Divine Departure data, this looks like a steady upward climb. The graded market for Buggy shows a very healthy premium for top-tier grades, with a PSA 10 reaching $201.25 and a BGS 9.5 at $148.82.The Major Drops: High-End Corrections and Supply Surges
What's causing the Boa Hancock [Top Prize] price drop?
The most significant loss in total dollar value today comes from the Boa Hancock [Top Prize] OP14-112 (One Piece Promo). This ultra-high-end trophy card dropped from $3,874.68 to $3,000, a sharp 22.57% decrease.This is a massive correction for a card in this price bracket. When looking at the graded tiers, the drop is reflected across the board. A PSA 10 is currently valued at $5,101.68, and a BGS 10 is at $6,300. The fact that the ungraded price dropped so significantly suggests a sudden increase in supply or a cooling of the "trophy card" market. For sellers, this is a moment of high volatility; for buyers, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a top-tier promo at a much lower entry point than recent months.
Why did the Tashigi [Treasure Cup 2025] price fall?
Following the trend of high-end promos, the Tashigi [Treasure Cup 2025] OP12-031 (One Piece Promo) also saw a significant decline, falling from $999.99 to $783.03, a 21.7% drop. While we do not have the specific graded breakdown for this Tashigi, the raw price movement mirrors the Boa Hancock correction, suggesting a broader movement in the "Tournament Prize" card category.Is the DON Card [Uta Gold] price crash permanent?
The DON Card [Uta Gold] (One Piece Premium Booster) is experiencing a notable downward trend. Looking at the 30-day history, the card was at $224.18 as of May 4th. The current price of $173.74 represents a 22.5% drop in the last week.The graded market for Uta Gold remains much more stable than the raw market. A PSA 10 is valued at $357.50, and a BGS 10 is at $465. This suggests that while the "loose" or ungraded market is seeing a sell-off, collectors are still holding onto high-grade specimens, maintaining a much higher price floor.
Are other DON Cards losing value?
The volatility extends to other specialty cards in the Premium Booster sets:* DON Card [Reiju] (One Piece Premium Booster): This card saw a significant 34.71% drop, falling from $75 to $48.75. Interestingly, the graded market for this card shows a tight spread, with the raw value dropping significantly more than the high-end slab values might suggest.
Is the Rarity of the Card making the difference?
Finally, we see a massive outlier in the downward movement: the Bug/Error/Rarity phenomenon. The [Insert Card Name if applicable, otherwise: the general market volatility] is also seen in the [Insert Card Name].However, there is one specific card that stands out for its sudden loss in value: the [Insert Card Name] (Note: if no specific error card was mentioned, focus on the general trend). We also see a massive drop in the [Insert Card Name] which fell from [Price] to [Price].
