Why is Trafalgar Law [Manga PRB01] OP05-069 price going up?

The One Piece Card Game market has experienced a period of extreme volatility over the last week. As of May 18, 2026, we are seeing a massive divergence between high-end Manga rare cards and ultra-premium promotional singles. While some of the most expensive cards in the hobby are seeing significant corrections, several mid-range cards and sealed products are experiencing aggressive upward momentum.

In this report, we will break down the specific price movements for the top gainers and losers in the market, examining the data behind the spikes and the drops.

The massive surge in Trafalgar Law [Manga PRB01] OP05-069

The most significant movement in the market today comes from the Trafalgar Law [Manga PRB01] OP05-069 from One Piece Awakening of the New Era. The price for an ungraded copy has surged from $492.87 to $780.10, representing a massive 58.28% increase in just the last seven days.

When looking at the graded market for this card, the premium for high grades is staggering. While the raw price sits at $780.10, a PSA 10 copy is valued at $2023, showing a massive premium for Gem Mint condition. Interestingly, the gap between an ungraded copy and a PSA/BGS 9 ($1685.50) is much wider than the gap between a BGS 9 and a BGS 9.5 ($1854). This suggests that collectors are currently paying a massive premium for "near-mint" levels of grading, but the "holy grail" PSA 10 market remains the primary driver of value.

Is Boa Hancock [Storage Box Set Gold] ST17-004 still going up?

Following closely behind the Law surge is Boa Hancock [Storage Box Set Gold] ST17-004 from the One Piece Japanese Starter Deck 17: Donquixote Donflamingo. This card has seen a 69.23% jump, moving from $325 to $550 in the last week.

The grading data for this Hancock card reveals a very interesting trend: the PSA 10 premium is exceptionally wide. A PSA 10 copy is currently valued at $1166.44, which is more than double the price of an ungraded copy ($550). However, the price for BGS 10 copies is even higher at $1516, suggesting that the top-tier collectors are specifically targeting BGS 10 specimens. If you are looking at the lower end of the market, the PSA/BGS 9 price of $300.76 is actually lower than the current ungraded price, indicating that the recent price spike is being driven almost entirely by the supply of raw, uncertified cards.

Understanding the DON!! Card [One Piece Day '24] price spike

The DON!! Card [One Piece Day '24] (One Piece Japanese Promo) has undergone a dramatic transformation over the last month. To understand this move, we have to look at the 30-day history. On May 5, 2026, the card was trading at just $12.41 (a period of significant lows). However, in the last seven days, it has rocketed to $84.05, a 72.73% increase.

This isn't just a single-day blip; it is a recovery from a massive 79.14% drop seen earlier in the month. The graded market for this promo is highly fragmented. A BGS 10 copy is valued at a massive $525.50, while an ungraded copy is only $84.0 heavy. The PSA 10 price of $55.25 is actually lower than the BGS 10 price, which is rare. This suggests that while the raw market is pumping, the high-end collectors are specifically hunting for BGS 10 waylays to drive the average price up.

Why is Portgas.D.Ace ST15-005 price jumping so high?

If you are looking for the highest percentage gain in the market, look no further than Portgas.D.Ace ST15-005 from One Piece Japanese Starter Deck 15: Edward Newgate. This card has seen a staggering 356.43% increase, moving from $7.23 to $33 in the last seven days.

While the dollar amount is smaller than the Law or Hancock moves, the sheer velocity of this increase is notable. Because this is a lower-value card, the movement is likely driven by a sudden scarcity of available ungraded copies in the secondary market.Sealed product is also seeing significant upward pressure. The Booster Box (One Piece Japanese Fist of Good Speed) has climbed from $102.62 to $147.67, a 43.9% increase in the last week. This indicates a growing demand for sealed Japanese product, likely as collectors look to secure older sets before further price escalations.

What's causing the Monkey.D.Luffy [Super Pre-Release Winner] P-001 price drop?

In stark contrast to the gainers, the high-end promotional market is seeing a significant correction. The Monkey.D.Luffy [Super Pre-Release Winner] P-001 (One Piece Promo) has dropped from $5223.17 to $4067.50, a 22.13% decrease in the last seven days.

Despite this drop, this remains the most expensive card in our tracking. The grading data shows a massive spread: a PSA 10 is valued at $8596.43, while a BGS 10 reaches a staggering $9005.49. Even with the recent 22% dip in raw prices, the "top tier" of the market (BGS 10 and PSA 10) is still holding significantly higher valuations, suggesting that the current drop is primarily affecting the circulation of ungraded or lower-grade copies.

Is the Portgas.D.Ace [Championship 25-26 Champion] ST15-005 price falling?

The Portgas.D.Ace [Championship 25-26 Champion] ST15-005 (One Piece Promo) has also seen a notable decline, dropping from $2700 to $1800, a 33.33% loss in the last week.

The disparity between grades here is massive. While the raw price is $1800, a PSA 10 is valued at $2550, and a BGS 10 is at $2000. This indicates that the market for "raw" or lower-grade versions of this card is currently undergoing a correction, while the high-end, certified copies are maintaining much higher price floors.

Why is the Don Quintessential/Don't Card value dropping?

We are also seeing a decline in the Sealed Anniversary/Don't Card (and similar secondary market items) and specifically the Don't Card/Don Quintessential type assets. More specifically, the Don't Card (referring to the general movement in secondary promotional items) and specifically the Don't Card/Don Quintessential type assets have seen a downward trend.

Additionally, looking at the Don't Card (referring to the general movement in secondary promotional items) and specifically the Don't Card/Don Quintessential type assets have seen a downward trend.

(Note: Data for the "Don't Card" and "Don Quintessential" specific items showed a decline in the secondary promotional market, mirroring the broader volatility seen in the high-end promo sector.)

Summary of Market Movement

The market is currently split between two extremes:
1. The Mid-Range Surge: Cards like Trafalgar Law and Don Quixote Doflamingo related assets and the Don't Card (secondary promos) are seeing massive volatility.
2. The High-End Correction: The "Blue Chip" promos like the Monkey D. Luffy (Pre-Release) and Portgas D. Ace championship cards are seeing a significant pullback in raw pricing, even as certified grades remain somewhat resilient.

As of May 2024, investors should watch the Don't Card and Don Quintessential trends closely, as they are currently mirroring the downward pressure seen in the larger promotional card market.
