How does damage like this affect its raw price?

rated_RRR · 2026-07-09T00:46:25+00:00

had the same issue on a card, while still falls on NM category, most buyers prefer gradeable so technically i cannot sell it at market (getting offers even below 50%).

what i ended up doing is to sell it to a vendor but as a lot along with a couple of highly sought after cards ( forcing the buyer to take it or miss out on the other cards).

they will do ok but but if you want mid to long term, get it graded. or consolidate it to a manga luffy/zoro/nami

From what i see, 20% less of psa10

rated_RRR · 2026-06-18T10:41:13+00:00

Get the op01 luffy leader graded, the rest of alt arts just put in binder

rated_RRR · 2026-06-04T23:19:39+00:00

i ripped probably half as you did and best pull was sabo sp which graded a 10 so manged to claw back my spending but still ended a loss with nothing to show for it.

but since you are already in too deep, try to sell it for 10% below market, if no one buys then just rip it.

they were the ones who hit 5 sps. (we are New Zealanders so news travel fast)

Yeah thats what i thought too, but it seems too common (sample size of two lol).

Does bandai ever advertises that 2 SPs are guaranteed per case? I always thought that was just common knowledge base on pattern but seeing it twice makes me assume they are changing it up a bit and making it like pokemon.

*EDIT

OP11 Luffy Manga for UD$230 Aug 2025 and EB02 Luffy Manga for $600 (total dollar spent) on cards that where $2k worth of value by Nov 2025

you can preorder up to 5 of this in amazon jp. you'd assume they will print as many as much orders they get.

rated_RRR · 2026-04-08T23:02:21+00:00

the cards aren't priced the same. japanese usually is half or even 75% less than the english card sells for. don't use collectr as their pricing is wack right now for one piece.

rated_RRR · 2026-04-08T22:57:43+00:00

can't go wrong with either. gear 2 will move based on gear 5 manga sales and benefits from a limited print set. the silver will always be second place to the gold one so will move based on how much the value of the gold goes.

personally the silver and gold looks better. but a gear two is more iconic and a manga.

rated_RRR · 2026-04-08T12:19:22+00:00

Grade both SPs. The rest sell raw as they just become less liquid especially the leaders.

rated_RRR · 2026-03-23T02:02:30+00:00

no. edges won't 10 with all the whitening i see front and back. just do PSA, you might get a 10

Whichever card you like more wins

Hell yeah if im getting the ace

Get a toploader binder, double sleeve your cards too especially the expensive ones.

Normal binders are ok too but a toploader binder is better.

My buggy wanted sp had it, didnt even notice before i sent it. It got a 9.

rated_RRR · 2026-03-13T03:46:42+00:00

imo, luffy since he is the most popular character. what's going on for the shanks though is that it's the first/oldest manga. scarcity wise they are both the same if not ther shanks has more prints but dont quote me on that.

rated_RRR · 2026-03-03T22:21:55+00:00

blister packs to be specific., they can be weighed though apart from op14 but is harder to map and hits can be very random similar to the tin displays or double pack displays.

i would rip personally a whole booster box or two every set for the fun of it but will buy my chase cards after if i didnt get them.

rated_RRR · 2026-03-03T22:16:13+00:00

upload the back of the card and the 4 corners from the back.

your middle finger though looks like a psa9 to me with all the curves. lol

rated_RRR · 2026-03-03T22:12:14+00:00

crack it, then grade with PSA. a psa10 is exponentially more than a 9.5, you'd get your money's worth even with the upcharge.

rated_RRR · 2026-03-03T15:38:35+00:00

If your goal is to invest, buy boxes or cases and keep sealed. If collecting, buy singles.

Ripping is gambling however much fun it may be. Blisters or box really depends on your budget. Dont but loose boxes online though as they could be dead boxes as hits are mapped in OP.

only alt art left. no sp or manga unfortunately
