The 10 Most Expensive One Piece Cards of 2025

We're talking about a franchise that revolves around a grand treasure and long adventures — it'd be a little rude not to review the most coveted shinies at the end of a year, don't you think?

2025 has been quite the year for One Piece. The final arc of a near-30-year story draws ever closer across both the anime and manga, while the trading card game has mostly gone from strength to strength. The player base is growing and the sales numbers keep ticking up, slowly solidifying One Piece as one of the most beloved card games in the space. Even more polarizing metagames have had moments of joy and flavorful concoctions. You can't ask for a whole lot more.

Amongst all these successes, the collectability and finance side of the game still manage to stand out. The last handful of months have been frankly wild, with a new pool of collectors making their way into the market and haymaker anniversary sets like Carrying on His Will (OP-13) adding more high-end collectibles into the ecosystem than ever before. The prices of the average premium-rarity card have never been higher, but the best deck in the format will only cost you $30. Both are unapologetic signs of a game on the up and up.

So, before we tumble forward into even more success, let's peek back at the most hotly contested cards of 2025 that you could still open today. Not even one of these sells for under $1,000 a piece. That's the ballpark we're playing in now, welcome to the big leagues!

These are the most expensive One Piece cards of 2025: 

Honorable Mention: Treasure Cup November Promos

We've got to talk about these because they're absurd, but they're too new to the market to know where they'll truly settle. 
Treasure Cup events form a year-round competitive circuit for One Piece, with each monthly season being made up of just a handful of events across the globe. Assuming these events reach more than 512 players (which, spoiler alert, they do), players will receive exclusive promo cards for a placing of Top 64 or higher.

The higher the placing, the more exclusive the promo card. At time of writing, the Top 16 variant of Tashigi (OP12-031) commands a solid $1,800 while the Top 8 prize card for Sanji (OP10-005) is afflicted with the Nami tax at $2,500 a piece. These are likely to settle as more copies begin to sell, but it's a very impressive feat for now.

However, the kingpin of the year overall is the serialized Roronoa Zoro (OP12-020) that players could receive for reaching the top four of a Treasure Cup. A Beckett 10 graded version of the card recently sold on eBay for a whopping $24,000. As the final handful of these enter circulation, the price will come down slightly... but it's limited to 600 pieces. A card that rare for the second-most popular character in a franchise? It's going to be a titan. 

#10 Marshall D.Teach (OP09-093) (SP) (Gold)

The captain of the Blackbeard Pirates sucked my wallet into a black hole as I attempted to pull his special print in Legacy of the Master (OP-12). Marshall.D.Teach was the second emperor of the sea to receive the highly collectible Silver and Gold variants across booster sets, and failed to reach the same lofty heights as his Luffy-shaped counterpart. 

That wouldn't stop him from becoming a top ten card of the year, though. Teach's Gold variant is a frankly stunning piece of cardboard that I've still yet to acquire, holding firm at a shade over $1,000 per copy. If you find one in your booster, be sure to greet him with a healthy "ZEHAHAHAHA!" 

#9 Shanks (OP09-004) (SP) (Gold)

Shanks (OP09-004) fared slightly better than his infamous counterpart, which is a little surprising based on that scar on his face. We'll see these two come to blows again someday, and I cannot wait. 

The card seems to have settled at roughly $1,200 a copy, with a little less breathing time than Teach by releasing in Carrying on His Will (OP-13) instead. Somehow, that makes him the fifth most valuable card from that celebratory set, which is frankly ludicrous. 

#8 Monkey.D.Luffy (EB02-061) (Manga)

Monkey.D.Luffy count: 1

Honestly, I expected this card to go even higher given its playability and the iconic nature of the pose. Monkey.D.Luffy (EB02-061) somehow feels underappreciated at $1,350 per copy, which would explain why it's been on a near-constant rise since October 2025. 

Manga Rares (also known as Super Alternate Arts) are the pinnacle of One Piece collectibles, and this one is no different. Throw in the first real level up from our main protagonist and you're looking at a card that should age well for many years to come, especially as EB-02 becomes impossible to find. 

#7 Sanji (OP06-119) (Manga)

Sanji fanboys must be going berserk that he made the list over Zoro. You gotta take your victories where you can get them. 
Sanji (OP06-119) became a menace of the constructed format in Monkey.D.Luffy (OP11-040): the deck that dominated the game for most of the year. It's still a must-have piece of top end for that strategy, which should hopefully regain a little ground in the near future. 

It's also just another Manga Rare rendition of a Straw Hat pirate. Regardless of playability, you can't really go wrong on these. That said, if I never see a copy cheating in a Mihawk again, it'll be entirely too soon. 

#6 Monkey.D.Luffy (OP05-119) (SP) (Silver)

That's strike two for the stretchy noodle. 

Nobody is surprised to see so much of Monkey.D.Luffy on this list. After all, One Piece doesn't function without the captain of the story. Luffy's various Gear 5 artworks have become the most desired cards in One Piece since they began to appear in Wings of the Captain (OP-05) and this installment from A Fist of Divine Speed (OP-11) is no different. 

Collectors seem to view the Silver variant as "completing the pair" from the set, with the gold versions of each emperor proving much more difficult to find. It's still unquestionably a grail, though. A card doesn't break $1,500 by accident. 

#5 Monkey.D.Luffy (OP13-118) (Super Alternate Art)

Strike three! Luffy would be outta here if this was a game of baseball! Wait. Hang on...

The third appearance from the newest Nika is somehow not even his highest appearance in Carrying On His Will (OP-13). Luffy and his brothers featured across multiple different Manga Rares to celebrate the third anniversary of the trading card game, with this version cementing itself as the "base" Manga Luffy. 

That's just a resounding testament to how absurd OP-13 is. This beautiful cardboard square doesn't crack the top three from the set, but he's still the fifth most valuable card of the year. Any other year, a $1,600 card would steal all the spotlights. 

#4 Monkey.D.Luffy (OP05-119) (SP) (Gold)

Come on Luffy, I'm running out of jokes here. 

It turns out, all that glitters is gold — and all that's gold is worth a bucket of money. The golden version of Monkey.D.Luffy (OP05-119) was the community choice to settle as the most valuable card of the year, and he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for that meddling OP-13! 

It's still my grail, though. I pulled this card from my second box of A Fist of Divine Speed and that memory (and resulting freakout) is worth more than the $2,400 it commands. 

#3 Sabo (OP13-120) (Red Super Alternate Art)

You're going to see a recurring theme in these final three cards. 

Sabo is — for some unholy reason — the least popular of the three brothers, even when enshrouded in the very flames he now carries. Carrying On His Will (OP-13) celebrated three years with one-time red-infused Manga Rares of the trio, which have proven to be the rarest cards of the year uncontested. 

Sadly for Sabo, he's also the least playable. He'll have to settle for a meager $3,500 per copy. Imagine. 

#2 Portgas.D.Ace (OP13-119) (Red Super Alternate Art)

You know, he's kinda cute when he's not cosplaying a donut.

Portgas.D.Ace (OP13-119) tends to be the second most popular brother in most cases, but it doesn't hurt that the card is also a consideration in Portgas.D.Ace (OP13-002): one of the most playable leaders in the game today. All of this culminates into an extra $900 per copy of Ace when compared to his cheaper sibling. Have you ever opened a piece of cardboard with recorded sales of over $4,400?! 

It feels like getting punched through the heart. 

#1 Monkey.D.Luffy (OP13-118) (Red Super Alternate Art)

But it always had to be Luffy in the end. There is no king like the future king. 

It's not easy for any card to have a confirmed sale of nearly $9,000, but Luffy takes no victims. To many, this version of our protagonist is the most unique and jaw-dropping that we've seen in the entire three years of the One Piece Card Game. 

While I may prefer the infamous OP-05 Manga variant myself, the market cares not what I think. Red Super Alt-Art Monkey.D.Luffy (OP13-118) isn't just the most expensive One Piece card of the year: he's the most expensive One Piece card on the TCGplayer marketplace right now.
