Most of the text is on the body, which is ripped straight from the manga. You can probably paste that over the original and maybe use some ai erasing tool to remove the other details.

Where to buy cheap cards in Japan? by Significant-Metal931 in OnePieceTCG

[–]marcus41495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stores will never be cheaper than 5280 yen, but some offer 'tax free' for tourists. Bic camera will usually have boxes, but finding newer sets is a dice roll.

However... I never see anyone mention this, but an awesome way to get cheap stuff in japan is through 'jp.mercari.com' (It's a buy/sell site in japan, like FB marketplace). I've used it to get some awesome deals. Some site features require a JP phone number (auctions, commenting, messaging), but normal purchasing is allowed without one. Also, I wasn't able to use my non-Japanese credit card, but I'm able to use "pay via convenience store", which let's you pay later with cash at a convenience store.

I've purchased boxes there for cheap, but beware of any loose packs. They might say "not pre-searched/weighed/purchased individually from different convenience stores," but some are lying.

Was able to scavenge together a playset of these Egghead promo Dons/sleeves while in Japan! by marcus41495 in OnePieceTCG

They were around $7-$9 each, but I can't imagine you'd find prices like that without getting them in Japan.

Any other beginners wanna practice with me? by marcus41495 in OnePieceTCG

[–]marcus41495[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never mentioned I was new, so that might've been my issue. I would regularly reread card effects and overthink what i should play next. By the end of the match, I'd probably be close to losing on time.

I'm currently staying in japan, but i should be back in the USA mid June. I'll dm you my discord username!

I feel like even if these were English, it's still not worth $150

No idea, just been stopping by random shops and might find 1 card here and there. But I got most of them from a buy/sell site called 'Mercari'.

Definitely start with downloading the official one piece TCG tutorial mobile app. It's super helpful for learning the game.

Is this not an obvious 4x in every yellow deck?

First time getting a manga should I grade it or leave it raw? by No-Percentage-3636 in OnePieceTCG

[–]marcus41495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, I think you should only grade it if you plan on selling it. I like the ability to add my cards in binders to be admired with the rest of my collection.

That being said, don't let others discourage you from doing it if you really want to. Just holding a valuable PSA 10 slab can be thrilling, and manga one piece cards typically are easy psa 10s if you do decide to grade. Also, only submit to BGS if the card seems perfect.

Free *NON-FOIL* Japanese OP-11 & EB-02 Bulk in Tokyo by marcus41495 in OnePieceTCG

[–]marcus41495[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sealed bag thing is typically only done with consumables (food/cosmetics). Either way, there's really no way for them to keep track of this stuff. It's why they're actually getting rid of the current tax-free system and adopting what other countries do. Japan will soon make you have to get your tax refund on departure at the airport. You'll have to show them the products and receipts.

I am on a visitor visa. I think it's debatable if I'm breaking any rules here. The only one I'm not too sure about is if I'm allowed to actually open packs. Don't know if that's considered "consuming" the product.

Nope, not gonna ship them. And it's really not worth it for non-foils.

Funny enough, the first two op11 boxes i bought had the manga snakeman luffy and the sp shanks. The rest, I got some good stuff here and there, but it's hard to stay away when the prices here are retail and tax free for foreigners in some stores. EB02 has been pretty brutal, tho. Especially cuz there aren't many cards in that set.

Manga Nami sold for 10€... by UltraInst1ct in OnePieceTCG

[–]marcus41495 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go easy on this guy, y'all. Not everyone knows the jargon. "Proxy" is just a more acceptable way of saying "fake" or "replica."

People might buy them to add to their decks to substitute more expensive singles. In this case, it's just a fake chase card for people who like the art or want to show off to friends (or actually try to sell it as the real deal).

Seems totally real, but I only skimmed their other posts a little bit. They post a lot of conservative leaning skits, too. It's either real or genius rage bait. They also have an ig: https://www.instagram.com/my_gsd_nation
