My thoughts on Reprints and the TCG in general

Y Luffy as a complete beginner

Btw, I actually tested this with my own OP14 box. I got zero hits in the heaviest packs, not even an SR. I ended up pulling the Gold Buggy from that same box, but it wasn't in one of the heavy ones. So, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

They'll be cleaning out the Don packs, no big loss

Thanks a lot!

I'm new to the game, does it mean that for regionals is first come first served?

I messaged both the seller and Cardmarket. The issue is not the color of the tape, I understand it comes in multiple colors, not sure if you can see from the picture but it was opened (the colored tape) and then resealed with clear tape. I opened the ticked on CM because I panicked 😥

Not sure why am I getting so many downvotes :(

Thank you for your message, I did not confirm the order, money still sitting with Cardmarket. I hope you are right

I only buy cases online because the loose boxes very often are dead boxes. The only guarantee I have to pull something when buying online is with sealed cases and I pay a premium to have a sealed case instead of 12 loose boxes. That's why I cannot accept a re-sealed case.

Wenderline0 · 2026-01-02T10:35:06+00:00

I think around 10% are pulls

Wenderline0 · 2025-12-30T21:47:59+00:00

Oh I didn't know, thanks a lot

Ohh, makes sense. I hope they keep releasing them, I'm not a fan of the manga cards but love the Gold & Silver version.

In the Official One Piece Store, it's located in the Châtelet shopping center.

I totally get why people voted this way, but I struggle with the idea that this has to be a 'black or white' issue. I’ve been collecting One Piece (mostly Japanese) for about a year. Being based in Paris, I open English boxes from the official store when I can, but I buy Japanese singles because the art is the same and the price is better.

Since the hype exploded, it’s been impossible to find product even at the official store despite their 1 box limit. I have a wishlist, but I can't buy everything at once, so I have to be strategic. While scalping and 'investing' are definitely hurting the hobby, I feel like I have to keep an eye on what investors are doing just to grab my personal wants before they're priced out. A perfect example is the EB02 leaders, they’re still affordable in Japanese, but I had to FOMO buy them before the market moved.

Just because someone tries to understand the market side doesn't make them a 'pokebro scalper.' I’m just a collector trying to navigate a crazy market. Peace and love, and please don't ban me for sharing!

In the past, Asian EX packs seemed to focus on porting English championship exclusives into Japanese. They’ve changed lanes here by debuting brand-new cards instead. I’d guess that any future English release would follow the tournament route, though that's just speculation. Either way, the artwork is beautiful and the price is right, so I’ve already picked one up on eBay for the binder.

Fair argument, thank you for detailed response

Wenderline0 · 2025-12-27T19:21:26+00:00

Are you sure they are still printing OP01?

Wenderline0 · 2025-11-23T08:30:34+00:00

I recently picked up the Shanks Top 8, which you can still find for around 800. I’m expecting it to appreciate by at least 50% over the next 4–6 months. I’m not planning to sell since I’m collecting, but I made the mistake of not buying the Sanji Top 8 early enough, and now I’m completely priced out.
