The One Piece Hype Train is Rolling Thanks to Another Record Sale
There are only six cards recorded to date that have sold for one hundred thousand dollars or higher for a One Piece card. One Piece was created by Eiichiro Oda, who started the manga series in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in July 1997. In 1999, Toei Animation would pick up the comic and turn it into the anime that everyone loves today. The entire anime series can be viewed on Netflix, all 1,185 episodes, and also the live-action series, with two seasons, can also be viewed on Netflix, which started in 2023.
Purists seem to like the anime show over the live-action version of One Piece, but whichever people prefer, they both seem to like the cards. In the opening sequence of the anime show, Pirate King Gol. D Roger is being executed and lets the pirate world know that he has hidden the most prized treasure, the One Piece. Now there are every Pirate and Marine, good or bad, searching for the infamous treasure. The biggest difference in this show is that some pirates have secret powers by eating the Devil Fruit. can stretch his body as a special power; the only issue with eating the Devil Fruit is that you cannot swim. Monkey D. Luffy is a good pirate and the Captain of the Straw Hats, named after the straw hat that he received from his mentor as a child.

With the growing interest in One Piece and more and more collectors getting involved, it's only a matter of time before this new record is set. People should also pay attention to the promotional One Piece sporting events, especially when cards are given out. The Dodgers had a promotional night where the cards that were given out for attending are selling for over $4,000 today.
One Piece isn't on the level of Pokémon, yet, but with the way sales have been going, it won't be long before we see a $500,000+ sale from One Piece.
