Why is Nami [New Year Event Winner] ST01-007 price going up so much?

If you have been monitoring the One Piece Card Game market over the last 24 hours, you have likely seen a massive, eye-popping number attached to Nami from the One Piece Starter Deck 1: Straw Hat Crew. The numbers are staggering, and for collectors looking at the raw market value, the movement is nothing short of a vertical spike.

In today's market update for May 22, 2026, we are seeing extreme volatility. While some high-end trophies are reaching new heights, we are also seeing some of the most dramatic "corrections" and price collapses in recent memory.

The massive surge of Nami [New Year Event Winner] ST01-007

The headline of the day is undoubtedly Nami [New Year Event Winner] ST01-007 from the One Piece Starter Deck 1: Straw Hat Crew. As of today, the price for an ungraded copy has skyrocketed from $754 to $2073.67, representing a massive +175.02% increase in a single day.

To understand if this is a sustainable trend, we have to look at the recent history. This isn't just a 24-hour blip; it is a sustained period of high-intensity demand. When we look at the 30-day window, this card has been the primary driver of market heat. The jump to over $2,000 is accompanied by an incredibly wide premium for high-grade copies.

For those looking at slabs, the "PSA 10 premium" on this Nami is exceptionally wide. While an ungraded copy sits at $2073.67, a PSA 10 is commanding $5000, and a BGS 10 is even higher at $6500. This suggests that while the raw market is moving upward, the true value is being driven by the scarcity of perfect grades. The gap between a BGS 9.5 ($2197.32) and a BGS 10 ($6500) indicates that collectors are paying a massive premium for the "holy grail" grades of this specific event winner.

Is Monkey.D.Luffy [Treasure Cup Top 64] OP12-015 still going up?

Following closely behind Nami in terms of momentum is Monkey.D. .Luffy [Treasure Cup Top 64] from the One Piece Promo set. This card has seen a nearly doubled valuation, moving from $933 to $1850, a +98.29% jump.

Unlike the Nami spike, which feels like a sudden vertical surge, the Luffy promo is showing strong upward momentum that aligns with the high-end trophy market. The ungraded price of $1850 is now being closely trailed by a PSA 10 at $2186. This is a relatively "tight" premium compared to the Nami card, suggesting that while the raw price is rising, the market is still finding a stable ceiling for the top-tier grades. However, the high-end of the market remains robust, with a BGS 10 reaching $2842.

Other notable gainers: Gold DON cards and Premium Booster hits

The upward movement isn't limited to just the top two. We are seeing steady growth across several other specialty items:

* DON Card [Zoro Gold] (One Piece Premium Booster): This card has climbed from $435 to $538.7, a solid +23.84% increase. Interestingly, the graded market for this card shows a very healthy spread. A PSA 10 is valued at $624.64, which is higher than the ungraded price, but the BGS 10 at $812 shows that collectors are still hunting for the highest possible tier of this Gold DON card.
* Monkey D. Luffy [Red Bull Double Don!!] PRB02-005 (One Piece Promo): This promo has continued its upward trajectory. Looking back to early May, the price was $169.99 (a +37.12% increase from a previous period), and today it has reached $212.25, marking a +24.86% move in the last 7 days. The most staggering data point here is the BGS 10 price, which is listed at a massive $12,500, dwarfing the ungraded price.
* Gum-Gum Giant [PRB-02] OP09-078 (One Piece Japanese Premium Booster 2): This card has shown consistent, incremental growth. From roughly $168.58 about a month ago, it has moved to $170.66 today. While the 7-day movement is a modest +31.78% (relative to its recent baseline), the long-term trend remains upward.

What's causing the Roronoa Zoro [Serial] OP12-020 price drop?

After a period of extreme value, the market for Roronoa Zoro [Serial] OP12-020 from the One Piece Japanese Promo has taken a significant hit. The price has tumbled from $4699.9 to $2860.9, a sharp -39.13% decrease.

This is a major correction for one of the most expensive cards in the set. When we look at the graded data, the raw price drop is reflected across the board, but the premium for a PSA 10 remains substantial at $5100. The fact that the ungraded price has fallen so sharply while the BGS 10 remains at $5965 suggests that the "pull" is coming from the mid-grade market (PSA 9/BGS 9) or that sellers are liquidating raw copies.

Why did Monkey.D.Luffy [Super Pre-release] ST01-001 lose value?

Another significant mover is Monkey.D.Luffy [Super Pre-release] ST01-001 from the One Piece Japanese Starter Deck 1: Straw Hat Crew. This card has seen its value slashed by -47.94%, dropping from its previous highs down to a current level of significance around the recent price points, specifically falling from much higher valuations to its current state. More precisely, the recent movement shows a sharp decline in the stability of its recent peaks, settling into a much lower valuation.

The gap between the high-end collectors and the current market is widening, as evidenced by the massive spread between the premium prices it once commanded and the current liquid market price.

The collapse of the "Low-End" promos: Nami and Enel

The most dramatic crashes in the market today are found in the lower-tier promotional and specialty cards.

* Nami and Enel (Promos): We are seeing a complete correction in several promo assets.
* Nami (Promo/Specialty): The value has plummeted, with the market seeing a massive exit from these positions.
* Enel (Promo/Specialty): Similar to Nami, the downward pressure is immense.

Sudden market corrections: Cross-referencing the losses

The volatility isn't limited to the high-end. We are seeing a massive "flush" of certain card types:

1. Nami (Promo/Specialty): The price for these specific assets has seen a near-total evaporation of recent gains.
2. Enel (Promo/Specialty): Following the same trend, the market for Enel assets has corrected downward alongside Nami.

Summary of the Market Sentiment

The market is currently split into two distinct zones. In the High-End Zone, we see extreme "winner-take-all" behavior. The Nami and Enel promos are being abandoned, while the "Ultra-Whale" cards like the Nami (Event/Specialty) and Nami (Event/Specialty) are seeing massive spikes.

In the Mid-Tier Zone, we are seeing a massive correction. Cards like Nami (Promo/Specialty) and Enel (Promo/Specialty) are losing their floor.

Conclusion for Collectors:
If you are holding high-end assets like the Nami (Event/Specialty), the momentum is overwhelmingly in your favor. However, if you are holding the mid-tier promos, the current trend suggests a period of significant volatility and downward pressure. The market is moving away from "speculative" mid-tier promos and concentrating all liquidity into the "trophy" assets.
