The Ultimate Guide to One Piece TCG Promos: Top Traded Cards & Market Trends in 2026

Promo cards—given out as participation rewards, tournament prizes, or event exclusives—hold a special place in the trading card world because you can’t just pull them from a standard booster pack.

The One Piece Card Game (OPCG) is especially generous with its promo distributions. From competitive events like the Championship and Flagship Battles to massive conventions like ONE PIECE DAY, there are plenty of avenues to score exclusive cardboard. Since late 2025, the market has seen a massive resurgence in hype, particularly surrounding the protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy. As a result, the demand for highly collectible promo cards has officially hit a fever pitch.

To help you navigate this booming market, we’ve analyzed transaction data from SNKRDUNK (Japan’s premier sneaker and trading card marketplace) to highlight the most actively traded promo cards right now. We’re also throwing in a few editor’s picks that you should definitely keep on your radar.

👑 Top 5 Most Traded Promo Cards 👑

1. Monkey D. Luffy SR (Magazine Luffy) [ST21-014]

Source: ONE PIECE magazine Vol. 20 Bonus

🌟 Why It’s Popping Off: Starting in late 2025, Luffy-centric cards began spiking in value, creating a massive ripple effect across the entire One Piece TCG market. The catalyst for this massive wave? The “Magazine Luffy.” Snagging the #1 spot on our most-traded list, this card was bundled with the ONE PIECE magazine (an official Japanese publication dedicated to the franchise). In just a few months, it recorded over 3,000 transactions. Despite several reprints, supply simply can’t keep up with the ravenous demand. Expect this to remain a highly sought-after staple.

2. Perona SR [OP06-093]

Source: Flagship Battle Top 8 Prize

🌟 Why It’s Popping Off: Awarded to the Top 8 players at Flagship Battles held in January 2024, this Perona promo was an instant hit. Right out of the gate, it drew massive attention not just from competitive players, but from hardcore character fans and collectors, pushing it to the #2 spot. Given that the chances of this card being redistributed are incredibly slim, it’s practically guaranteed to maintain its strong, stable popularity.

3. Nami P [ST01-007]

Source: Standard Battle Winner Prize

🌟 Why It’s Popping Off: This Nami promo was handed out to tournament winners (and Rock-Paper-Scissors mini-game winners) at official Japanese LGS (Local Game Store) Standard Battles between December 2022 and February 2023. Nami has always been a fan-favorite in OPCG, boasting several high-value cards. From day one, this promo has been trading around the 10,000 JPY mark, making it one of the most historically expensive Standard Battle prizes. Because of its excellent playability, it’s a massive flex for players looking to max-rarity their decks.

4. Monkey D. Luffy P [P-043]

Source: Weekly Shonen Jump 2023 Issue 36/37 Bonus

🌟 Why It’s Popping Off: Because it was included as a bonus in Weekly Shonen Jump (Japan’s iconic weekly manga anthology), there were plenty of these circulating initially, trading at a modest 1,000 JPY to 2,000 JPY. However, riding the coattails of the “Magazine Luffy” hype in October 2025, this card saw a massive spike in both value and transaction volume. The lavish artwork featuring Luffy surrounded by glittering treasure gives it an undeniably premium vibe.

5. Roronoa Zoro SR [OP01-025]

Source: Flagship Battle Winner Prize

🌟 Why It’s Popping Off: Awarded to the champions of Flagship Battles from February to June 2023. Since these tournaments ran nationwide for five months, the circulation is relatively healthy for a winner-exclusive promo. Combine Zoro’s god-tier character popularity with the card’s top-tier in-game performance, and you have a perfect storm: a card that is desperately hunted by both collectors and competitive grinders alike.

🔍 Editor’s Picks: Promos to Watch

Monkey D. Luffy L (Ichiban Kuji Promo) [OP13-001]

Released on February 14, 2026, alongside the “ONE PIECE CARD GAME” Ichiban Kuji (a popular Japanese convenience store lottery game where every ticket wins). This card features exclusive original artwork and was given out to the first 20 customers who purchased tickets at each participating store. The hype is unreal, with transactions skyrocketing since release day. Definitely a card to keep your eyes on.

Monkey D. Luffy P (ONE PIECE DAY ’25) [P-110]

Included in the Premium Card Collection for ONE PIECE DAY ’25. This card broke the internet by being the very first TCG depiction of Luffy in his Elbaf arc outfit. The fact that it uses brand-new, original illustrations by the series creator, Eiichiro Oda himself, makes it a must-have for hardcore fans.

Roronoa Zoro SR (Flagship Battle Top 8) [ST21-015]

Awarded to the Top 8 players of the 11th Flagship Battle (held from December 2024 to February 2025). Zoro’s immense popularity translates directly to market value. While pristine copies were hovering around 8,000 JPY in late 2025, prices absolutely surged at the start of 2026, now trading at a hefty 16,000 JPY.

3rd Anniversary Set Promos (Luffy, Ace, Sabo)

• Monkey D. Luffy SEC [OP09-119]
  
• Portgas D. Ace SR [ST15-005]
• Sabo SEC [OP07-118]
  

The OPCG 3rd Anniversary leaned heavily into the “Bond of the Three Brothers” theme. Released alongside the Inherited Will set—which featured the brothers as highly coveted “Manga Rares”—these 3rd Anniversary Set promos hit the perfect nostalgic sweet spot for collectors.

Monkey D. Luffy P (Basketball Luffy / US Voyage) [P-055]

A massive collaboration between One Piece and US College Basketball! Distributed as an attendance bonus starting January 23, 2026. Overseas sports collabs (like the Dortmund and Dodgers Luffys) are notoriously difficult for Japanese collectors to get their hands on, causing domestic prices to explode. While initial listings broke the 150,000 JPY barrier, it has since settled around 55,000 JPY. The background mimics the highly sought-after “Manga Rare” aesthetic, making it an absolute grail.
