The One Piece TCG Market in June 2026 — Monthly Report

This is the first edition of our monthly market report — a set-by-set, card-by-card look at what actually happened in the One Piece TCG market, built from OPMT's own price history for every tracked card. All prices are the cheapest listed near-mint English copy on CardMarket, measured on 1 June and 30 June 2026.

The headline: +16.4% — but very unevenly distributed

Adding up the cheapest copy of all 3,622 cards with price data at both ends of the month, the tracked market rose from €196,676 to €228,976 — +16.4% in a single month. Before you extrapolate that to your binder, two honesty checks:

• Most cards didn't move. 692 cards ended June higher, 489 lower, and 2,441 — two thirds of the catalogue — were flat. The median card gained nothing. Among cards worth at least €5, the picture is stronger: 413 up vs 186 down, with a median gain of +5.5%.
• The gain is concentrated at the very top. A single card — the Manga rare Monkey.D.Luffy OP05-119, which went from €9,000 to €18,000 — accounts for roughly 28% of the entire market's euro gain by itself.

The Luffy effect

June belonged to Luffy chase cards. The OP05-119 Manga doubling to €18,000 was the single biggest euro move we recorded, but it wasn't alone: the OP05-060 SP Luffy (pulled from Anime 25th Collection packs) went €8,500 → €10,500, the two SSP versions of OP05-119 (pulled from OP11 packs) added €1,500–1,900 each, and the EB02-061 Manga Luffy climbed €2,500 → €3,800. Because those versions live in different sets, the cluster lifted several columns of the table below at once: OP05 itself gained +59.5% (the OP05-119 Manga is most of that), and OP11 — home of the OP05-119 SSPs — rose +22.4%. As always at this price level: these are listed prices in very thin markets, and the cheapest copy moving up says as much about sellers repricing as about executed sales.

Set-by-set performance

Correction (10 July): the set-level figures in this section have been restated. The original version credited each card to the set in its card number — but many chase cards are pulled from a different set's packs (the SP Leaders with OP05–OP08 numbers live in EB02 Anime 25th Collection, The Best reprint boosters are full of OP-numbered cards, and so on). Every version is now counted in the set whose packs actually contain it.

Value-weighted change in the aggregate cheapest-copy value per set (sets with at least €1,000 of tracked value, sorted by change):

Counting cards where they are actually pulled changes the map of the market. EB02 Anime 25th Collection is by far the most valuable set we track at nearly €64,000 of aggregate floor value — it is home to almost every SP/SSP Leader, including cards whose numbers say OP05, OP06, OP07, OP08 or even EB01. Its +10.1% hides a violent rotation inside the set (more below). The reprint boosters PRB01/PRB02, invisible in a card-number grouping, turn out to hold over €25,000 of tracked value between them. And OP04's surprising +47.4% is a perfect example of the correction at work: it is driven by the SP Boa Hancock OP01-078 — an OP01-numbered card that is only pulled from OP04 packs — jumping €629 → €1,040.

The other patterns hold. EB03 Premium Collection was the hottest booster in the game, driven by its SP heroines — the EB03 SP Boa Hancock went €1,200 → €1,850, the SP Nami €1,000 → €1,550, the SP Nico Robin €749 → €1,200. And the original ST01 Straw Hat Crew starter deck quietly had a monster month (+54% on its own cards, from €819 to €1,264 — just under the table's cutoff): the base Roronoa Zoro went €45 → €150, the deck's Luffy €25 → €75, Nami €13 → €38, even the Thousand Sunny ship card tripled. Four-year-old starter cards in near-mint English are getting genuinely scarce. At the bottom, no set actually lost value once versions are credited to the right place — OP08's previously reported −0.6% was an artifact of the old grouping (the big faller with an OP08 number is an EB02 pull). The slowest movers were OP13 (+2.6%) and OP07 (+3.8%), whose remaining base-set cards simply sat still.

Biggest gainers of June

Cards priced at least €5 on 1 June, cheapest-copy change over the month:

Readers of our Hot Deals analysis will recognise ST13-014 — it entered the Hot Deals list on 19 June at €9.90, already mid-climb. The Treasure Rare pair (OP10-063, OP11-058) is worth watching as a category: both nearly tripled in the same month.

It wasn't all green: the rotation inside EB02

The interesting counter-trend played out entirely inside Anime 25th Collection, the set that actually contains the SP/SSP Leader chase cards. While its Straw Hat and heroine SPs surged — SP Luffy €8,500 → €10,500, SP Uta €2,000 → €5,000, SP Rosinante €1,000 → €1,700, SP Carrot €800 → €1,250 — its big-ticket villain SPs fell hard. The SP Hody Jones (OP06-020) dropped €999 → €650, the SP Gecko Moria (OP06-080) €1,500 → €1,000, the SP Hannyabal (EB01-021) €1,490 → €999, and even the SP Monkey.D.Dragon and SP Chopper gave back €300–500. (Hannyabal's Leader-alt — a true EB01 card — halved from €30 to €15.49 too.) Money at the top end didn't leave the market in June; it rotated from villain SPs into Straw Hat crew SPs and Mangas within the same set, which is why EB02's headline +10.1% looks so calm. If you hold high-end cards, diversify across characters — popularity flows are real and they cut both ways.

Where the liquidity was

Prices tell you what sellers want; sales tell you what buyers do. Our sales detection (which infers sales from offer-book decreases, corrected for re-listings) registered about 60,800 copies changing hands across 3,367 different cards in June. The most-traded cards by volume were almost all recent-set playables — Mamaragan (OP15-078, 364 copies), Ground Death (OP14-096, 336) and Borsalino (EB04-058, 309) led the list. The market's euros are in old Mangas and SPs, but its daily heartbeat is modern playable commons — which is exactly why our scoring treats velocity relative to a card's own rarity class rather than raw volume.

Takeaways for July

• Two-thirds of the market is dead weight. Blind exposure to "One Piece cards" earns nothing — the median card was flat. Returns came from specific clusters: anime-collection SPs, OG starter deck staples, Treasure Rares and Manga Luffys.
• Old starter decks are a sleeper category. ST01's +54% month suggests near-mint English supply of 2022 product is thinner than most people assume. ST02–ST04 staples are worth a look on the same thesis (ST03's Crocodile already moved).
• New sets' own singles stayed cheap. OP15's base cards (the ones numbered OP15) barely moved (+2.3%) while boxes keep being opened — the set's +19.4% in the table comes almost entirely from the special reprints found in its packs. History says the time to buy a set's chase cards is when supply peaks — watch our Long-Term Deals page for when their scores start firming up.

Methodology: prices are the cheapest listed NM English copy on CardMarket per card version, compared between 1 June and 30 June 2026 for the 3,622 cards with data at both endpoints. Set values are the sum of cheapest copies across a set's tracked versions, with each version credited to the set whose packs actually contain it (per the printed expansion, not the card number — SP/Manga reprints often appear in a later set, and The Best boosters are counted as their own sets PRB01/PRB02). Sales volumes are detections from offer-book monitoring, net of re-listing corrections — treat them as estimates. High-end prices reflect thin markets.
