Why is Monkey.D.Luffy [SP Silver] OP05-119 price going up?

The One Piece TCG market is experiencing a period of significant volatility as of June 25, 2026. While some high-end "whale" cards are seeing explosive upward movement, several standard deck cards and sealed products are undergoing a noticeable price correction. For collectors and investors, understanding whether these moves are temporary "blips" or established trends is essential for making informed buying or selling decisions.

In this analysis, we will break down the most significant price movements today, examining the data behind the gainers and losers to see what the market is telling us.

The High-End Surge: Why is Monkey.D.Luffy [SP Silver] OP05-119 price going up?

The most striking movement in the market today involves the Monkey.D.Luffy [SP Silver] OP05-119 (One Piece Fist of Divine Speed). This card saw a massive price jump from $4,250 to $6,180.83, representing a 45.43% increase in a single day.

For high-value "grail" cards like this, such a jump often indicates a "buy-side" surge where a few high-profile collectors are moving on specific assets. To understand the health of this movement, we have to look at the graded premiums.

* Ungraded Price: $6,180.83
* PSA/BGS 9: $4,975.50
* BGS 9.5: $6,958.92
* PSA 10: $10,250.00
* BGS 10: $9,350.33

The PSA 10 premium here is quite "wide," sitting at roughly 65% above the raw card price. When the raw price jumps significantly but the PSA 10 price remains much higher, it often suggests that the "raw" market is reacting to immediate demand, while the "slabbed" market remains more stable due to the scarcity of perfect grades. For a buyer, this suggests that while the entry price for a raw card is rising fast, the "perfection" premium remains a significant barrier.

The "Moon" Shot: Zehahahahaha OP16-116

If the Luffy [SP Silver] is a significant jump, the Zehahahahaha OP16-116 (One Piece Japanese The Time of Battle) is a complete market breakout. The card skyrocketed from $192.42 to $385.79, a staggering 100.49% increase.

Because there is no graded data provided for this specific card, we have to look at the raw trend. A 100% jump in 24 hours is rarely a "trend"—it is usually a result of a specific transaction or a sudden spike in interest for a particular piece of Japanese art. Sellers who own this card might see a window of opportunity, but buyers should be cautious; such rapid spikes can sometimes be followed by a "cooling off" period as the market absorbs the new price point.

Steady Gains: Portgas.D.Ace and Monkey.D.Luffy Promos

Not all gains are explosive; some are part of a steady, upward climb. Two cards in particular showed healthy, double-digit growth today:

Portgas.D.Ace [3rd Anniversary Winner] OP07-053 (One Piece Promo)
This card moved from $147.99 to $198.23 (+33.95%). Looking at the graded data, the PSA 10 sits at $299.99, while the BGS 10 is at $390. The premium for a PSA 10 is relatively "tight" compared to the Luffy [SP Silver], suggesting that the demand for this card is more consistent across both raw and graded markets.

Monkey.D.Luffy [Games Fest 24-25] P-080 (One Piece Promo)
This card has shown a very consistent upward trajectory over the last 30 days.
* June 10: $186.09
* June 19: $202.26
* June 25: $253.40 (+20.03% today)
This is a classic "slow and steady" trend. For a seller, this indicates a card that is consistently gaining value rather than just spiking. For a buyer, it suggests a card that is steadily becoming more desirable.

Monkey.D.Luffy [Alternate Art] OP16-022 (One Piece Japanese The Time of Battle)
This card saw a jump from $150 to $199.99 (+33.33%). However, the 30-day history shows some volatility; it actually dropped by 24.81% on June 19 before bouncing back. This suggests the card is in a "swing" phase, where prices are fluctuating as the market tries to find its floor.

The Market Correction: Why is Monkey.D.Luffy ST13-003 price dropping?

While the high-end market is heating up, the "utility" and "starter" side of the market is seeing a correction. This is most evident in the cards from the Ultra Deck: The Three Brothers and other starter products.

Monkey.D.Luffy ST13-003 (One Piece Ultra Deck: The Three Brothers)
This card has been on a significant downward slide. It started at $81.89 on June 10, dropped to $55.31 on June 16, fell further to $37.28 on June 19, and hit $18.34 today—a 39.33% drop in the last 24 hours alone.
* Graded Analysis: The PSA 10 is listed at $150, which is a massive premium over the $18 raw price. This suggests that while the "raw" card is losing value rapidly due to high supply or low demand, the "collector" grade remains much higher. For a seller of raw cards, this is a clear sign that the market for this specific card is cooling rapidly.

Sabo ST13-001 (One Piece Ultra Deck: The Three Brothers)
Sabo followed a similar, albeit more volatile, path. It saw a peak of $32.85 on June 21 but plummeted to $22 today (-33.03%). Its 30-day history shows it was climbing steadily from $9.99 in late May to $13.76 in early June, before the recent "peak and drop" cycle.

Shirahoshi [Alternate Art] EB01-057 (One Piece Japanese Extra Booster Memorial Collection)
Shirahoshi saw the most dramatic "correction" of the day. It spiked to $19.30 on June 21 (+106.64% from its June 1st price) only to crash to $8.63 today (-55.28%). This is a classic "pump and dump" price action, where a card reaches a temporary high and then falls back to its baseline.
* Graded Analysis: Interestingly, the PSA 10 remains at $83.33. This massive gap between the $8.63 raw price and the $83.33 grade suggests that the raw card is currently over-supplied, while the graded version maintains its "collector" status.

Sealed Deck (One Piece Starter Deck 29: Egghead)
The sealed market is also taking a hit. The Starter Deck 29: Egghead dropped from $34.07 to $23.84 (-30.03%). Looking at the history, it has been on a steady decline from its June 10 peak of $26.19.
* Graded Analysis: The PSA/BGS 8-8.5 grade is listed at $215. This is an enormous premium over the $23.84 raw price, indicating that the "sealed" value for the deck is heavily tied to its condition and "complete" status rather than just the cards inside.

Portgas.D.Ace [Alternate Art] ST30-007 (One Piece Japanese Starter Deck 30: Luffy & Ace)
Finally, the Ace alternate art from Starter Deck 30 saw a steady decline, moving from $27.58 to $18.87 (-31.58%). Unlike the Shirahoshi crash, this feels more like a consistent downward trend, moving from a high point of $25.48 on June 7 down to today’s price.

Summary for Buyers and Sellers

For Buyers:
* High-End Targets: If you are looking at the Monkey.D.Luffy [SP Silver], be aware that the raw price is moving fast. However, the "wide" premium on PSA 10s suggests that the "perfect" versions are still the primary target for long-term holds.
* Value Hunting: The Shirahoshi [Alternate Art] and Luffy ST13-003 are currently at significant lows. If you are looking for raw cards for a collection, these are currently in a "correction" phase where prices are much lower than their recent peaks.

For Sellers:
* The "Moon" Opportunity: The Zehahahahaha OP16-116 is currently seeing a 100% jump. If you have this card in your inventory, today may be an optimal time to list it, as such massive spikes can be short-lived.
* The "Falling Knife": For cards like Luffy ST13-003 and Portgas.D.Ace [Alternate Art] ST30-007, the 30-day history shows a clear downward trend. If you were planning to sell these, it may be wise to do so sooner rather than later, as the data suggests the downward momentum is currently consistent.
* The Steady Climb: The Monkey.D.Luffy [Games Fest 24-25] remains a strong "hold" or "slow-sell" candidate. Its steady growth over the last 30 days suggests it is a stable asset in the current market.
