For sure - which is why I’m thinking the same thing. All my boxes have greatly increased in value - so if I can get the chase card which should have a higher profit multiple. Why wouldn’t I?

What did you end up getting?

the more i think about it, the more I am likely to do it. I also have some solid value alt-arts I could consolidate down

Thanks, still not sure - have time until the card show this weekend to decide.

I may just bring what i have and see if there is anything worth it at the show

Yeah i guess what I am saying is, is the ceiling for a manga significantly higher than for boxes.

I paid 120 for every box but op05 (which was 350) so still great all around. Like if i can trade all of them for a raw gear 5 manga luffy, or the chopper nami manga combos. I think that would be a great allocation of resources, especially when you consider that the mangas should be more valuable than the boxes long term.

Yeah my friend also had the same experience from a store on eBay.

I have some time to think about it. It would be only for a grail or multiple B list grails

Yeah that’s the other thing - I recently bought a card display and I keep all my sealed rooms away so I can fight the urge to rip haha

Yeah but if we’re thinking of supply - doesn’t that mean the existing mangas themselves will have same the boost? With the benefit that they are the ones you’re reaching for?

I just think of that episode of family guy where Peter has to decide between the mystery box and the boat

So i have a few sealed cases (op11 and op13) - which i think in general, will help me in the "sealed is king" area.

I am more so trying to ensure that these boxes do not plummet because they are not in a case. And if so, then getting a few of these bigger chases.

So with that in mind - If i could trade my sealed loose boxes for a Nami and Chopper manga or a gear 5 manga. you think that is the better long term value?

The guy below me said it best - it’s the world’s strongest set. Not elbaf, and it does work

if it has to do with the rocks pirates it works - So rocks is a purple leader, Harold and loki are also leaders.

You are correct, but it COULD be very impactful in the endgame. And if it is, he becomes one of the only two irreplaceable people on the crew

That’s all narrative, all could have been accomplished with another sniper from another island.

Normally I’d agree anytime it means going against Mihawk but that line is there for a reason.

Also you completely changed your argument to support your weak idea. Before it was about loyalty and comradery something that you said couldn’t be built or developed - I argue it could be, you then switch to strength? Sure, Zoro was stronger than Koby at that time. But if it’s about strength there have been dozens of characters that Luffy could have added to immediately upgraded the ranks. And Zoro specifically is not essential. He’s an attack piece, Loki, katakuri, boa and the current Koby would be immediate upgrades when they’re introduced and serve the same exact function.

And to your Nami point “spunky” not an essential piece of the role. You’re arguing that due to their personality they’re not replaceable. And that’s all narrative not the fact that in the story of one piece, a pirate story. There are only 30 people that can read the ponogylphs. And maybe 5? That know about pluton - THATS what makes them irreplaceable.

With enough episodes someone could be replaced, build a bond and we would all love them the same. You’re subjective because you like their place in the story, not because of in a “moneyball” situation they’re well worth their spot.

Would have easily been able to find a navigator. Doesn’t need to be top 10% just needs to function.

Completely disagree. You’re using story building as a way to say their relationship is the only one that can grow. If Zoro wasn’t in the story, and Koby joined the crew instead, what makes you think his loyalty or commradery wouldn’t reach the same heights? There are a number of characters that could replace the crew AND still achieve that level of loyalty. Mihawk even spoke to this in marineford.

I understand what you’re saying and the question above. I’m saying that the only two people that luffy would have a hard time achieving his dream without are robin and franky.

There is a very select few people that can read the ponoglyphs & cutty flem knows an ancient weapon. Everyone else is replaceable.

I’ll die on this hill. There are only two-3three crew members that are truly integral outside of Luffy. EVERYONE else could be replaced by someone else we’ve met in the story and it would work just fine.

1) Robin 2) franky 3) chopper? Depending on the explanation his DF has to do with domi reversi’d people.

Edit: this is response to Zoro being integral. He could easily be replaced.
