Just picked up a complete WonderSwan Color One Piece “Rainbow Island Legend” set with S-W1 promo card for €40. Did I do well?
Hi everyone,
I just bought this complete WonderSwan Color One Piece: Rainbow Island Legend set for €40.
The lot includes:
-Original box
-Cartridge
-Manuals/inserts
-Original S-W1 Straw Hat Pirates promo card
The card looks extremely clean to me, with sharp corners and no obvious whitening, but I haven’t seen it in hand yet.
From what I’ve been able to find, this seems to be one of the earliest One Piece promo cards released around 2001/2002 and tied to the WonderSwan game.
I’m curious about a few things:
-How rare is the S-W1 promo card nowadays?
-Is this considered a desirable piece among vintage One Piece collectors?
-Do you think it’s worth grading if the condition is as good as it appears?
-What would you estimate the value of the complete set and the card separately?
-Long term, do you see early WonderSwan promos becoming more sought after as One Piece continues to grow?
I’d love to hear opinions from collectors who know the early Carddass / Hyper Battle / WonderSwan era better than I do.
Thanks!
