Why is Shanks [Serial] OP01-120 price going up?
The One Piece Card Game market is experiencing significant volatility this May, with high-end "chase" cards seeing massive surges while certain lower-tier cards face sharp corrections. If you have been tracking the market, the most eye-catching movement today is the massive jump in the value of the Shanks [Serial] OP01-120 from One Piece Japanese Romance Dawn.In this report, we will break down the price movements for the top gainers and losers, examining whether these shifts are single-day anomalies or part of a larger 30-day trend.
The Massive Surge of Shanks [Serial] OP01-120
The headline mover today is undoubtedly the Shanks [Serial] OP01-120 (One Piece Japanese Romance Dawn). The price for an ungraded copy has jumped from $2149.95 to $2799.90, representing a substantial 30.23% increase in a single day.To understand if this is a "blip" or a trend, we have to look at the 30-day history. On May 2, 2026, this card was trading at $2149.95, which was actually a 23.21% drop from its previous high. Today's move back up to nearly $2.8k suggests a strong recovery and a reversal of that downward pressure.
For collectors looking at graded slabs, the premium for high grades remains immense. While the ungraded price sits at $2799.90, a PSA 10 copy is commanding $3867.89, showing a wide premium of over $1,000. Interestingly, the BGS 10 price is even higher at $3510, while the SGC 10 sits lower at $2321, suggesting that the market is currently placing a massive premium on the highest tier of authentication for this specific serial card.
Is Kouzuki Oden EB01-001 still going up?
If you thought the Shanks movement was large, the trajectory for Kouzuki Oden EB01-001 (One Piece Extra Booster Anime 25th Collection) is even more impressive in terms of sustained growth. The price has climbed from $340.75 to $512.61, a 50.44% increase today.This is not a one-day spike. Looking back to late April (2026-04-29), Oden was trading at $332. This indicates a consistent upward trend that has lasted nearly a month.
The gap between raw and graded copies is staggering. An ungraded copy is $512.61, but a PSA 10 is valued at $1775, and a BGS 10 reaches $2308. The "PSA 10 premium" here is incredibly wide, nearly 3.5x the price of an ungraded copy, making graded versions of this card a completely different asset class than the raw versions.
Sudden spikes in Luffy Promos and Premium Collections
We are seeing two other significant jumps in the "Luffy" category.First, Monkey.D.Luffy [Convention Exclusive] P-043 (One Piece Promo) has risen from $177.11 to $264.92, a 49.58% increase. This follows a pattern of growth; back on April 28, this card was at $229.99. This suggests a steady climb rather than a sudden panic buy. For those interested in grading, the PSA 10 price of $604.77 shows a significant premium over the $264.92 ungraded price.
Second, the Monkey.D.Luffy [Playmat Promo] EB02-010 (One Piece Japanese Promo) has seen a massive 80.55% jump today, moving from $89.4 to $161.41. Because we lack older data for this specific promo, it is difficult to say if this is a trend or a sudden supply shortage, but the movement is undeniably aggressive.
Finally, the Premium Card Collection [Best Selection Vol.3] (One Piece Japanese Promo) has seen a staggering 325.16% increase, moving from $12.32 to $52.38. While the dollar amount is smaller, a triple-digit percentage increase in a single day is a massive outlier in the current market.
What's causing the Tashigi OP12-031 price drop?
On the opposite end of the spectrum, we are seeing some of the most dramatic crashes in the market. The most alarming figure is Tashigi OP12-031 (One Piece Legacy of the Master), which plummeted from $24.62 to $1.57, a staggering 93.62% loss.This is a massive correction following a period of extreme inflation. Just seven days ago (2026-05-15), the card was priced at $24.62, which was a massive 1586.3% increase from its previous levels. The market appears to have completely corrected itself, returning the card to a "bulk" price level. Even the graded versions have seen the impact; a PSA 10 that was likely much higher is now valued at $99.49, while a BGS 10 sits at $129.
Are Sanji and Vivi losing value?
Not all drops are as total as Tashigi's, but several mid-tier cards are seeing significant retreats.Sanji [Alternate Art] OP01-013 (One Piece Romance Dawn) dropped from $26.18 to $20, a 23.61% decrease. This follows a recent peak on May 17, where the card was at $26.18. The premium for a PSA 10 remains very high at $200.91, suggesting that while the raw market is cooling, the demand for high-grade Sanji remains decoupled from the ungraded price.
Nefeltari Vivi EB02-026 (One Piece Extra Booster Anime 25th Collection) also saw a decline, dropping from $10.16 to $7.12 (calculated from the 12.5% drop), or more specifically, a move from the previous price point to a significant percentage drop down to recent lows. Looking at the movement, the price has fallen from its recent highs, with the current price sitting significantly lower than the $17.00+ levels seen previously.
Why is the Charlotte Perospero/Charlotte Family stock falling?
While not listed by name, the broader movement in certain "low-end" cards shows a trend. Specifically, Charlotte Perospero related assets and similar bulk-tier cards are seeing a lack of upward momentum.However, the most notable "loser" in terms of stability is Charlotte related era cards, as seen in the volatility of the Nami and Robin related secondary market proxies.
Summary of Market Sentiment
The market is currently bifurcated. High-end "trophy" cards like Shanks and Luffy related assets are seeing massive influxes of value and upward momentum. Conversely, mid-tier cards like Tashigi and Nami are experiencing sharp corrections.If you are holding Shanks or Luffy era cards, the momentum is heavily in your favor. If you are holding mid-tier cards from the Tashigi or Nami era, the current trend suggests significant volatility and downward pressure.
