Why is Monkey.D.Luffy [2nd Anniversary] OP09-061 price going up?

If you have been monitoring the secondary market for the One Piece Card Game over the last few days, you have likely noticed a massive surge in high-end collector pieces. As of June 5, 2026, the market is exhibiting extreme volatility, characterized by massive spikes in sealed products and anniversary staples, contrasted by a significant crash in several high-profile promotional cards.

In this report, we will break down the specific price movements, the distinction between raw and graded copies, and what the recent 30-day trends suggest about the current state of the hobby.

The Massive Spike: Monkey.D.Luffy [2nd Anniversary] OP09-061

The most significant mover in the market today is Monkey.D.Luffy [2nd Anniversary] OP09-061 from the One Piece Emperors in the New World set. The price for an ungraded copy has jumped from $351.2 to $481.25, representing a 37.03% increase in a single day.

When looking at the grading premiums, the market for high-grade copies is incredibly lucrative. While the ungraded price sits at $481.25, a PSA 10 copy is commanding a massive $1,150, and a BGS 10 is even higher at $1,495. This indicates that while the "raw" market is experiencing a sudden surge, the real value is being driven by the scarcity of perfect specimens. The gap between the ungraded price and the BGS 9.5 price ($468.86) is relatively tight, suggesting that the current price movement is primarily affecting the supply of raw, unauthenticated cards.

Is the Sealed Deck (Straw Hat Crew) price spike real?

Perhaps the most shocking number in today's data is the 276.32% increase in the Sealed Deck (One Piece Starter Deck 1: Straw Hat Crew). The price moved from $33.7 to $126.82.

This is not a subtle move; it is a total market reconfiguration. For a sealed product that previously traded in the low double digits to suddenly triple in value suggests a massive influx of demand or a significant drying up of available supply. For buyers, this represents a high-risk entry point, as such vertical moves are rarely sustainable without a corresponding increase in production.

Analyzing the Gold Uta and Premium Collection Surges

We are also seeing significant upward momentum in other high-value items:

* Uta [Storage Box Set Gold] ST16-001 (One Piece Japanese Starter Deck 16: Uta): This card has seen a 56.45% increase, moving from $203.48 to $318.34. Interestingly, the premium for a PSA 10 is extremely wide, sitting at $819.69. This suggests that while the raw market is heating up, the "holy grail" copies are being held tightly by collectors, creating a massive price gap between ungraded and Gem Mint versions.
* Sealed Premium Card Collection: Leader Collection (One Piece Promo): This item has risen by 57.08%, moving from $151.64 to $238.19. As a sealed promotional product, this movement likely reflects a shift in how collectors view long-term sealed assets.
* General Franky [Championship 2023] P-027 (One Piece Promo): This promo has climbed from $61 to $109.99, an 80.31% increase. The grading market here is very active; a PSA 10 is worth $608.09, which is nearly six times the price of the ungraded version. This massive premium indicates that the "raw" price movement is driven by mid-grade or lower-grade copies, while the top-tier slabs remain in a separate, much more expensive tier.

What's causing the Charlotte Pudding [Treasure Cup] price drop?

On the opposite end of the spectrum, we are seeing a devastating crash for Charlotte Pudding [Treasure Cup] OP08-067 (One Piece Promo). The price has plummeted from $600 to $100, a staggering 83.33% loss in value.

This is a particularly notable drop because of the disparity in the grading market. Despite the ungraded price crashing to $100, a PSA 10 copy is still valued at $2,487.50, and a BGS 10 is at $3,234. This tells us that the "crash" is almost exclusively happening in the raw/ungraded market. Sellers of ungraded copies are likely liquidating at any cost, but the high-end collectors holding certified Gem Mint copies are not yet panicking, as the premium for a PSA 10 remains massive.

Why did the Monkey.D.Luffy [Convention Exclusive] P-043 drop?

The market for Monkey.D.Luffy [Convention Exclusive] P-043 (One Piece Promo) has become highly volatile. Looking at the 30-day history, we saw a price of $264.92 on May 21, which then surged to $400 on June 3. However, today's price has corrected downward to $289.12, a 27.72% decrease.

This looks like a classic "pump and dump" or a correction after a period of over-extension. The grading data shows that the PSA 10 market is still very strong at $540, and the BGS 10 is at $840. The fact that the ungraded price is dropping while the high-grade premiums remain high suggests that the recent volatility is being driven by the trading of "near-mint" or "lightly played" copies rather than a loss of interest in the card's prestige.

The Collapse of the Japanese Promos: Sabo and Luffy (Uta Deck Battle)

Two specific Japanese promos have seen their values decimated in the last week:

1. Sabo [Southeast Asian Champion] P-073 (One Piece Japanese Promo): This card dropped from $102.7 to $25.5, a 75.17% decline. Unlike the Pudding crash, the grading market for Sabo is also seeing a significant pullback, though a PSA 10 still holds a high value of $200.
2. Monkey.D.Luffy [Uta Deck Battle] P-061 (One Piece Promo): This is perhaps the most dramatic collapse in the data. In late May, this card was trading at $32.72, it surged to $42.31 by late May, but has now crashed to just $4.97, an 88.25% drop. This is a total collapse in value for the ungraded/raw market, even though the BGS 10 versions are still commanding much higher prices.

Summary of Market Trends

The current market is showing a massive divergence between Raw/Ungraded cards and Graded/High-Tier cards.

* The "Speculator" Market (Raw Cards): We are seeing extreme volatility. Low-end raw cards (like the Luffy Uta/Battle cards) are losing 80-90% of their value, while certain mid-tier raw cards are seeing massive spikes.
* The "Collector" Market (Graded Cards): High-grade assets (PSA 10/BGS 10) are holding their value much more stubbornly, even when the raw market for those same cards is in freefall.

For those watching the Monkey Luffy (Anniversary/Special editions), the trend suggests that while the "entry-level" price for these cards is crashing, the prestige of the high-grade versions remains intact.
