If you actually look at the math for a Pre-Errata Luffy, it’s insane. The average pull rate is 2 sealed Blue Bottom Romance Dawn cases. With TCGplayer floors at $100k and eBay hitting up to $200k, you’re basically dropping a $250k on sealed product just to chase it. But it’s not just the price of the cases, this card is literally One Piece TCG history. It’s a massive error from back when wording completely broke the game mechanics. The original text forces you to restand a card ("Set 1"), while the corrected version gives you the choice ("Set up to 1"). On top of being the first major Luffy chase and a legendary error card, the true scarcity is a total mystery. PSA didn't split the labels, so they lumped everything into the same 700 total PSA 10 population. The actual pre-errata population is easily a fraction of that. Honestly, a $25k minimum baseline is completely justified. The fact that this card is only fetching around $7k right now makes absolutely no sense.

(FYI: NOT MY CARD IN THE POST)

The sentiment on this sub is always negative, but the actual data says otherwise. Premium 25th Collection PSA 10s just hit January levels again. People can cry about prices and demand drops all they want, but they're completely ignoring the supply shock hitting the market right now. This isn't a fluke, it's a massive market shift. Hate it all you want, but the momentum is there and we’re breaking the all time high next.

Sorry for using AI to summarize this, I was too lazy to type it all out lol, but:

The 25th Anniversary Premium Collection is a sleeper set.

• The "First" Factor: It’s the first-ever premium collection for One Piece TCG.
• Manga History: Every card features the actual manga panel of that character’s first appearance. It’s the ultimate tribute to Oda’s work.
• Zero Reprints: Unlike the JP version which was printed heavily, the English set had no reprints and only one wave.
• Under-the-Radar Pop: These are a nightmare to grade. After all these years, the Pop 10 is still under 700 for several cards in the set.
• The Jump: We already saw the 1st Anniversary set go crazy—this is following that exact same trajectory.

The buyout is already hitting TCGPlayer and eBay. If you’re looking for a sleeper, this is it.
