GM☕️ Have you guys pre-ordered the OP16 dropping on May 30th? I locked in a box back in January, the price was sweet, but unfortunately, no guarantees🫠

With @EricCLFung’s historical premium comparison from OP11 to OP16, the pre-sale premium for OP16 is +217%, which is higher than OP15, so that basically gives us a rough estimate for the secondary market box price (at least 7 to 8K HKD/Case).

My personal advice is, if the premium is over double for buying a sealed box just to crack it open, it’s not worth it. You’re better off hitting the secondary market for the Raw Cards you really want.

GM☕️ OPCG four-year anniversary box is live, and I’ve already added it to my watchlist. 🤤

Featuring the 12 zodiac theme, they just revealed the Snake (Hancock) and Dragon (Taoji) card designs yesterday, and this Hancock design is absolutely stunning! 😍

There are still 10 designs yet to be revealed, and as long as Luffy's card design isn't a total flop, this box is bound to go parabolic.

PS: The only thing I'm currently worried about is the difficulty in snagging that PSA10 serial number 12. 🫠

GM☕️ Sol chain's TCG cards can now be used for collateralized lending

The Jupiter Offerbook is in public beta, allowing any tokens, NFTs, or TCG cards on Solana to engage in fixed-rate, fixed-term collateralized lending, essentially connecting all assets on the chain to a trustless lending table. It's still in beta, so liquidity is pretty low right now.

Actually, the NFTfi wave tried this whole collateralized lending thing once, but it didn’t last. Whenever a small image project hits a milestone (like snapshots, airdrops, TGE), NFT prices can crash, oracles lag behind, and arbitrageurs clear out the pools in no time, making bad debts hard to manage. Plus, the TVL of these small image projects can't support a viable collateralized lending market, leading them to fade from public view.

Whether TCG can make it this time depends on how large the demand for collateralized lending actually is. If it’s just a small group of users, then this offerbook is just your run-of-the-mill DeFi lending market, not exactly groundbreaking 🫠.

Stay tuned to see if TCG can boost its TVL on Offerbook.

PS: @renaissxyz When are we getting a TCG staking option over on the BSC Chain? 🤤

GM☕️ Weekend TCG time, have you reserved your OP-16 boxes?

The overall quality of the OP-16 cards is solid; I'm really hoping to snag the Robin big head and that Blackbeard event card, they look amazing!

This time, the Leader big head card is so clean, they even removed the borders, big props for that!

GM☕️ Exchange Society 'One Piece' overall market index is 484.9, up +5.35% for the day, jumping from 192 to 484 in 6 months, a solid 1.5x increase. Especially in the last two weeks, it has formed an almost vertical uptrend.

It's crazy that some of the smaller cards bought the day before yesterday have already doubled in auction prices today... 🤣 The auction prices at the Exchange Society have become so exaggerated compared to the purchase prices at SNKRDUNK that it’s bordering on unreasonable. So I recommend anyone looking to offload smaller cards to prioritize selling at the Exchange Society auctions.

However, I personally suggest holding onto the larger cards, as OPCG is really just getting started — even if there's a correction to digest, once the pullback is over, who knows how high the truly scarce cards could go.

Continue with the strategy of 'using profits from small cards to build up larger cards', flipping Tier 3 small cards and gradually moving into Tier 1 core positions.

Want to buy more? Pick up some of the smaller Luffy cards that haven't skyrocketed as much, like these few that I really like 🤤:

- OP07-073 Explosive Hair Luffy

- P-043 Crown Luffy

- P-110 Horned Luffy

GM☕️ @PSAcard official data: In April, the ONE PIECE card grading hit an all-time high, surpassing all sports categories.

PSA grading volume itself is a lagging indicator—because the cards have to be bought before they're graded; the real liquidity in the secondary market has already been there.

A more direct first-hand experience: our TCG small group has been remarking daily about the soaring prices of various OPCG cards🤣, with auction prices at trading companies like SNKRDUNK reaching absurd premiums compared to purchase prices.

I feel like I’m on the path of “small card profits feeding big cards.” It’s not intentional; it just naturally happened. Some small cards I bought with a few buddies have doubled or even more lately. A few days ago, I also flipped two of the earliest small cards I bought at auction.

When the overall trend is up, there are always a few small cards that spike absurdly, clearly outperforming the overall trend—these are best to flip quickly.

Let me share my own tiers for OPCG cards:

- Tier 1: Game cards, numbered cards (targets to chase) + manga cards (core collectibles) — the true core positions.

- Tier 2: Various Promo cards — it's essential to distinguish their rarity: how abundant they are, how good they look, how strong the consensus is, and the potential for subsequent resale to crash prices.

- Tier 3: Various SP, SR alternate art, SEC alternate art, R alternate art from booster packs — this category is the largest; it’s hard to say which is high or low, depends on personal favorites, primarily buying based on preference.

Flipping small cards to fund big cards basically means gradually moving from Tier 3/Tier 2 to Tier 1, increasing the scarcity of the collectibles in hand.

Lastly, I’d like to announce that @renaissxyz's OPCG card pool should be launching this month. At this node for OPCG, I’m confident that it will definitely be in high demand and sell out quickly🤪.

TCG cards, I feel, are like “NFT small images” that both Web3 and Web2 are playing with; if you think of it this way, how high do you think the ceiling is?

GM☕️Just snagged a PSA 10 ST01-012 "1st Anniversary-Signature" Gold Foil Luffy.

The OP05 "New Era Protagonist" booster pack includes the 1st Anniversary card, featuring a Tōda signature (not a real sig, but it's gold foil printed on, and it is indeed Tōda's signature). The card is seriously slick, with edges and the signature area outlined in gold.

There are a total of 4 highest rarity cards in OP05: Luffy / Law / Kid from the Worst Generation, plus this Gold Foil Luffy. From what I’ve checked, the pull rate is about 1 in 100 BOXES across the 4 kinds, so to land a specific single one, you're looking at an average of 400 BOXES.

The pull rate is on par with the other 3 manga variant cards, but the narrative is different: the other 3 are regular manga storyboard cards, while the Gold Foil is the only one featuring the "1st Anniversary event + Tōda's original signature". So I personally think the price shouldn't be lower than the Nika manga Luffy from OP05.

PSA 10 Pop is 3,438 cards / Total graded 3,770 cards, with 91% being PSA 10. The card's quality is solid; its rarity doesn't rely on the grade but on the pull probability + cardholders holding onto it.

On the price front, over the past 5 months, the trend has been 350k → 436k → 525k → 749k → 829k, which is a 2.4x increase. The nature of the 1st Anniversary means this card won't be reprinted.

What really gives me FOMO is that this card is incredibly hard to buy🤣, feels like everyone is clutching onto it. For the past month, I’ve been trying to pick it up, asking a few HK friends who previously sold me cards if they’d part with this one, and three or four replied with pretty much the same thing: "I have it, but I'm not selling🤣 Why would I sell if it’s bound to go up?"

Sellers are collectively holding back, and the secondary market (referencing Snkrdunk) has a super low card listing density— I actually feel like the current price isn’t too high. 1st is 1st, and next time I want to grab one, it’ll just get tougher.

GM☕️ The OPCG U.S. edition's one-year anniversary Ukiyo-e gift box sneakers have hit a成交价 of over 24k+ HKD. I initially snagged the original box for 12k HKD at a physical card shop, doubling my buy-in price 🤤.

The card condition for this set is notoriously tough, making it hard to hit a P10, so most folks recommend "leave the original box untouched" to ride the premium. I’ve thought about this, but with such stunning cards, who can resist breaking them open? 🤪 Currently, I'm sending all in for PSA grading, going down the "study abroad" path.

The PSA10 sequential number set’s buy-in price at the sneaker shop has also soared to 100w JPY (about 50k HKD), and the hype around the entire one-year anniversary Ukiyo-e set is still going strong.

I still have a long-term bullish outlook on this set:

1st is 1st;
The U.S. edition is limited, a true gem;
The Ukiyo-e art style is unique and beautiful!
