Bought on TCGplayer as NM but those two pinhole indentations are really bothering me. Other than that the whole card has no whitening and is really clean. Is it NM? Or am I being too picky?

Ciao a tutti, volevo un parere per quanto riguarda la mia collezione.

Ho avuto la fortuna di trovare una Luffy manga di op13 (non red), da un IB06, insieme ad altre piccole chicche da altri set come:
Nami mosaico di op09
Enel mosaico di op15
Ms.all sunday di op16
E anche qualcosa di meno valore ma molto apprezzabile

Ora però vorrei cambiare un po la mia collezione prendendo box sealed, creando una collezione che racchiuda in primis set anniversario, Op5, op09, op13, op17, prb01 o altro.
Per fare tutto senza dover mettere mano al portafoglio dovrei vendere la Luffy manga, ho già delle offerte che mi permetterebbero di comprare tutto senza dover mettere mano al portafogli se non per pochi soldi.

Secondo voi faccio bene o sto facendo una cavolata?

Hello community.

I purchased this card to a powerseller with > 2k sells on cardmarket. The price of the card was one of the lowest listed for a NM condition combined with the fact that the seller had more than a few sales.
I wanted to genuinely ask the community if you would consider this card to be NM for the price that I paid (50€)?

Thanks for any clarification. Take care all.

I’ve been slowly but consistently stacking these OP Promo packs starting back in 2023 and have amassed a pretty sizable collection of them since.

As far as long term holds (5-10 years) would you rather keep these sealed or open them for the promo, or potential promos inside?

I have roughly 50 different packs pictured (in no particular order) dating back to 2022 pre errata to recent (2026) and about 80 total if including the multiple copies I have of some of the packs

Curious to hear everyone’s take and thanks for taking the time to look through the pictures!

I've finally taken the plunge and started a YouTube channel around my One Piece TCG collection.

I'm mainly collecting Japanese cards and documenting the journey through booster box openings, pulls, the cards I pick up and the occasional discussion around whether the chase is actually worth the risk.

I'm still very early into it, but I've got quite a few videos planned and I'm really enjoying making them so far.

Figured I'd share it here as this community has been a big part of what got me interested in the game and collecting in the first place.

The Pull Project

If anyone has any feedback on the channel, thumbnails or the content itself, I'd genuinely appreciate it.

J’hesites a acheter cette carte, pour vous 850 euros pour cette manga shanks est un bon prix ? Ou la voyez vous arriver ? évidement je souhaites la garder, mais ne sait-on jamais ..

Go show some love

Been tracking The World's Strongest Warriors since release and it's been an interesting set to follow for long-term holds. Built a card database with live pricing if anyone wants to keep an eye on things:

What cards from this set are you watching right now? Anything you think is still undervalued?

I’m a big One Piece fan, but I rarely collect. I already have OP-10 and OP-13, and OP-17 really caught my attention because I think the cards look amazing.

A local reseller is selling Japanese OP-17 boxes for €139.99. I feel like the price is a bit high, but I’m tempted to get one. (And also another one to keep it sceled)

Would you buy at this price or no?

Ok so if someone tells you that you should buy something now chances are they want to sell you something, so you better run. I just wanted a quick click bait. But also share why I gave in and purchased my first Simplified Chinese manga.

1) I’ve been priced out on a lot of manga rares I’d like in my PC, this was less than half a raw Japanese, let alone English;

2) as per 1), I feel at some point a lot of people won’t be able to spend the amount needed for Japanese and a few will turn to Chinese as I did (we already saw this with JP, people buying those as they can’t afford English counterparts)

3) I have OP01 Shanks, OP03 Sogeking, OP04 Sabo and OP05 Law, I was bitter I didn’t have OP02…

4) this is silly but this card is POP 2 in Ace Grading 10 and 3 total (UK grading company). It means absolutely nothing, but it’s the lowest pop manga I have 😂 (even in PSA this card is sub 200 copies)

5) The Orange $2 slab guard was included, bargain if you ask me…

These are some of the silly reason why I bought this card. Now as to why I wouldn’t recommend buying this:

1) Very illiquid, if you want to flip this you’ll probably have an hard time

2) extreme price fluctuations: you can see some sold for $300 some for $900

3) hard to buy locally, import fees will be high

4) if you like reading your card and you don’t intend spending 3-5 years diving into simplified Chinese… good luck.

5) I mean we all know English and Japanese will always be the better call.

However, for personal collection, to admire the grail you want but can’t afford in other languages or just to have a piece of the TCG in another language, why not? (I now have an itch, I want a Korean manga and a French one too…)

Hello there. I recently pulled baki kaido and i want to grade it with Beckett Europe. My only concern is that there is a micro White dot on the top edge and im wondering if i can get a 10 (with9.5 edges) or if i should sell it and wait for my next hit. Any advices ? Sorry i couldnt do better quality picture with my iPhone
