The ONE PIECE CARD GAME continues to dominate the TCG scene, and the latest buzz surrounds the Monkey D. Luffy Leader card (OP13-001) from the newly released “Ichiban Kuji” lottery collection. This card isn’t just a powerful game piece—it’s a high-demand collectible with a distribution method that had fans lining up across Japan.

Current Market Value & Price Movement

As of February 17, 2026, the market price of an unopened card is stable at around 4,950 JPY. Although it has been slightly altered since its release, it is still stable.

Date	Unopened	Opened
2026.02.17	4,950 JPY	–
2026.02.16	4,700 JPY	4,000 JPY
2026.02.14	5,900 JPY	–

The card saw intense volatility immediately after its release on Saturday, February 14. While pre-release “hype prices” on secondary markets initially soared past 10,000 JPY, the influx of supply from the 20-per-store distribution brought prices down to a more accessible range for players and collectors alike.

Why is This Card So Valuable?

1. The “Ichiban Kuji” Exclusive Distribution

Ichiban Kuji is a popular “no-lose” lottery system found in Japanese convenience stores like FamilyMart and specialized hobby shops. This specific Luffy Leader card was a purchase bonus, given only to the first 20 customers who participated in the lottery at each location. With such a limited “early bird” window, many stores ran out of the promo within minutes of opening.

2. The Luffy Craze & Playability

Monkey D. Luffy remains the most sought-after character in the franchise. Beyond its collectibility, this Red-Green Leader card is generating interest for its potential in the current competitive meta. Combined with the high-quality A-Prize figure (a 3D realization of the Luffy SR from the Awakening of the New Era set), the synergy of this lottery event has maximized the “Luffy Fever.”

3. Estimated Supply

Market analysts estimate a total distribution of roughly 200,000 copies nationwide. While this might sound like a large number, the sheer size of the global ONE PIECE fanbase means demand often outstrips supply, especially for “sealed” or high-grade copies.
