Sabo (OP05-001) Leader Alt Art, €90.00

This Sabo Leader Parallel Art card is a beauty, and sold for a hefty €90.00 at the beginning of December. You can pick it up for less than €40.00 now though. Still a lovely card and just the start of this list.

Enel (OP05-100) Alt Art 2, €95.00

This Alt Art Enel card is psychedelic and has sold for as much as €95.00, though the going rate is a bit lower than that now.

Enel (OP05-098) Leader Alt Art, €120.00

Two Enel in a row, and this yellow Leader Alt Art card is striking. It’s not the rarest Leader card in the series, but it’s well worth having in your collection, even if it’s not worth quite as much as its peak sale price.

Monkey.D.Luffy (OP05-060) Leader Alt Art, €120.00

This card can be picked up for closer to €80.00 now, but Luffy cards are almost always valuable, in case you couldn’t tell.

Sakazuki (OP05-041) Leader Alt Art, €150.00

The price is lower now, but Sakazuki has never before sold for less than €110.00 – though that will soon probably change as there are a handful of cards available for less than that. Still, even with plenty of availability, this Sakazuki Leader card is definitely worth including in your collection.

Nami (OP01-016) Reprint Alt Art, €233.95

A reprint of the Nami character card available in OP01 and the Three Captains Starter Deck, Nami is back once again with another stunning psychedelic Alt Art variant. Again, this is more common and therefore cheaper than it once was but remains one of the most valuable cards in this series.

Eustass "Captain" Kid (OP05-074) Manga Rare, €690.00

The first Manga Rare card on the list, Captain Kid has managed to sell for €690.00, and even though the going price can be €100.00 less now, it’s still firmly in the top five most valuable cards in this set.

Trafalgar Law (OP05-069) Manga Rare, €800.00

This Law Manga Rare had a surprise sale since my list of the top ten rarest One Piece cards, and it’s absolutely one of the top-three rarest and most valuable cards in this set.

Monkey.D.Luffy (OP05-119) Secret Manga Rare, €1900.00

The third and final Manga Rare is of the Secret Rare Gear 5 Luffy card. The odds of pulling a Secret Rare are already pretty slim, but a Manga Rare? That’s why this card is one of the most valuable cards in the entire One Piece Card Game set.

Monkey.D.Luffy (ST01-012) Signed Anniversary Reprint Alt Art, €2475.00

The true most valuable card in the entire Awakening of the New Era series is the Signed Anniversary Alt Art of Luffy from Starter Deck ST01. There are two versions of this reprint in the OP05 series, one with a black background, and one with a white and gold background, complete with an embossed gold signature from Eiichiro Oda himself. This is an original illustration from Oda, and even the (comparably common) black background card is lovely to have, but once the card has this gold signature on it, it’s officially the most expensive and rare card in the set, and the third-most valuable One Piece Card Game card. Do not bend it!
