Round1 x One Piece Promo Cards: All 10 Collab Cards

We picked up the complete Straw Hat crew from the 2026 Round1 x One Piece Card Game collaboration. Here is the full 10-card checklist, our card-by-card photos, and what collectors should know before heading to Round1.

10promo designs in the set

1random card per sealed pack

$20Round1 card load per pack

2scheduled distribution phases

Quick read

The whole crew is here.

The Round1 promotion features 10 English-language cards: Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, and Jinbe.
Packs are sealed and random, so collectors cannot select or exchange a specific character.
Eligible guests can receive up to 10 packs during their initial visit, subject to registration, payment, and supply.
Every card has original Round1-themed artwork built around the Straw Hat crew’s arcade day.

Our pickup

Opening Round1’s One Piece promotion packs

We visited Round1, collected the promotional packs, and photographed every card we pulled. The sealed wrappers describe a 10-type English set with one promotion card in each pack. Because the cards are distributed at random, assembling a complete crew may take multiple packs—or a little collector-to-collector trading.

Pickup guide

How the 2026 Round1 promotion works

Round1’s official collaboration page lists nationwide availability beginning July 18, 2026, with two scheduled promotional-card distribution phases. Registration, venue timing, and remaining inventory all matter, so check the official page before traveling.

Register online

Use Round1’s official event registration and keep the confirmation email for the designated venue.

Visit your venue

Promotion packs are tied to the registered visit and are available only while supplies last.

Load a Round1 card

Each pack requires a $20 deposit loaded to a Round1 Game Card or Club Card, up to $200 for 10 packs.

Dates to know

Wave 1: July 18, 2026. Wave 2: September 1, 2026. The promotional-card page lists Phase 1 for July 18–24 and Phase 2 for August 2–8, with several venues following adjusted dates. Always confirm your selected location on the official page.

Collector notes

What makes this set worth watching

The main attraction is not a new competitive mechanic; it is the exclusive Round1 presentation. Each card turns an existing character/card identity into a miniature arcade scene, connecting the promotion directly to the experience of getting the pack.

The cards are marked as promotional items and are not sold individually by Round1. Random distribution, short pickup windows, location limits, and the instantly recognizable Straw Hat lineup can all drive collector interest. That does not guarantee future value: condition, print quantity, regional supply, and collector demand still matter. If you are building the set, protect each card immediately and compare the printed card number before trading for a missing character.

Collector poll

FAQ

Round1 x One Piece promo card questions

How many Round1 One Piece promo cards are there?

There are 10 designs in this 2026 promotion, one for each current member of the Straw Hat crew.

Can you choose which card you receive?

No. The official terms say each sealed pack contains one random card, and cards cannot be selected or exchanged at the venue.

How much does a promotion pack cost?

The card itself is distributed as a promotional item, but eligibility requires a $20 deposit loaded to a Round1 Game Card or Club Card for each pack. Check the current official terms before visiting.

Can one person get the complete set in a single visit?

An eligible guest may receive up to 10 packs on the initial visit by loading up to $200, but the contents are random, so 10 packs do not guarantee all 10 designs.

Are the Round1 cards tournament legal?

They use established One Piece Card Game card numbers and text, but players should always verify current format and event rules through official Bandai sources before entering a tournament.

Pokemon Gengar market watch – updated July 14, 2026

Gengar Pokemon Cards Collectors Are Watching Right Now

Gengar cards are having the right kind of collector moment: Mega Evolution is back in the conversation, Fusion Strike's alt art remains a modern grail, and older Phantom Forces and Team Up cards still give collectors clear chase-card targets.

Mega Gengar ex 284 over 217 Ascended Heroes Special Illustration Rare Pokemon card

Quick Read

Mega Gengar is the current search hook.

Ascended Heroes gives collectors a fresh SIR and a lower-cost Mega Attack Rare, which makes the theme timely.

Older Gengar cards still matter.

Team Up and Phantom Forces give this list real collector depth beyond one modern set.

Use market plus median.

Several Gengar cards have a wide gap between market price and listed median, so condition and seller photos matter.

The Gengar Cards to Watch

Modern headline chase

Mega Gengar ex

284/217 – ME: Ascended Heroes – Special Illustration Rare

TCGplayer NM Holofoil market$1,334.20

Listed median$1,390.65

This is the obvious modern anchor for a Gengar watchlist. It has the Mega Evolution return, the Special Illustration Rare label, and the kind of art that gets searched outside normal set collectors.

Market watch note: The market is high enough that a single low or high sale can distort perception. Treat photos, seller history, and exact language/condition as part of the price.

View TCGplayer listings

Sword and Shield grail

Gengar VMAX (Alternate Art Secret)

271/264 – SWSH08: Fusion Strike – Secret Rare

TCGplayer NM Holofoil market$1,019.30

Listed median$1,172.20

Fusion Strike Gengar VMAX is still the card many collectors mean when they say modern Gengar chase. It is recognizable, memeable, and hard to replace in a high-end binder page.

Market watch note: The card has a wide condition-sensitive market. Small edge wear or surface issues can matter more than the headline market number.

View TCGplayer listings

Tag Team premium

Gengar & Mimikyu GX (Alternate Full Art)

165/181 – SM: Team Up – Ultra Rare

TCGplayer NM Holofoil market$1,624.49

Listed median$2,647.99

The Gengar and Mimikyu Tag Team alternate art is one of the strongest ghost-type collector cards from Sun and Moon. It has character pairing, scarcity, and a clean search story.

Market watch note: Because the listed median sits far above market, the live ask can move differently than the last clean market comp. Do not treat every raw copy as equal.

View TCGplayer listings

XY full-art chase

Gengar EX (114 Full Art)

114/119 – XY: Phantom Forces – Ultra Rare

TCGplayer NM Holofoil market$760.85

Listed median$904.45

Phantom Forces is a natural home for Gengar collectors, and the 114/119 full art is one of the cleanest older English Gengar targets.

Market watch note: Older XY-era Near Mint copies can vary a lot. Ask for photos if the listing does not make corners and surface easy to inspect.

View TCGplayer listings

Secret rare Mega

M Gengar EX (121 Secret Rare)

121/119 – XY: Phantom Forces – Secret Rare

TCGplayer NM Holofoil market$423.86

Listed median$399.99

This is the older Mega Gengar card that ties directly into the current Mega Gengar interest without needing modern set hype.

Market watch note: The median and market are close, which makes it a cleaner comp than some grail-tier Gengar cards. Condition is still the deciding factor.

View TCGplayer listings

Rainbow Tag Team

Gengar & Mimikyu GX (Secret)

186/181 – SM: Team Up – Secret Rare

TCGplayer NM Holofoil market$378.79

Listed median$499.97

Even as rainbow rares became less fashionable, Team Up Tag Team secrets kept collector attention because the character pairings are strong.

Market watch note: Compare the rainbow secret against the alternate full art separately. They share characters, but they do not move as the same card.

View TCGplayer listings

Promo lane

M Gengar EX

XY166 – XY Promos – Promo

TCGplayer NM Holofoil market$277.66

Listed median$297.50

The XY166 promo has a simple identity: Mega Gengar, promo release, and a collector-friendly number that is easy to search.

Market watch note: Promo copies often have storage and edge issues. A clean copy can deserve a different comp than a technically Near Mint copy with weak photos.

View TCGplayer listings

Core Phantom Forces

M Gengar EX

35/119 – XY: Phantom Forces – Ultra Rare

TCGplayer NM Holofoil market$170.42

Listed median$166.99

This is the more accessible Phantom Forces Mega slot compared with the 121/119 secret rare, but it still carries the same set identity.

Market watch note: Market and median were close at publication, so this one is easier to price-check than the high-spread grails.

View TCGplayer listings

Modern full art

Gengar ex

193/162 – SV05: Temporal Forces – Ultra Rare

TCGplayer NM Holofoil market$63.71

Listed median$70.00

Temporal Forces gives collectors a modern Gengar ex full art at a price that is still reachable compared with the older and alternate-art chase cards.

Market watch note: This is a useful mid-tier tracker. If collector demand broadens, lower-cost Gengar full arts are usually where buyers look next.

View TCGplayer listings

Binder favorite

Gengar

TG06/TG30 – Lost Origin Trainer Gallery – Ultra Rare

TCGplayer NM Holofoil market$60.12

Listed median$62.90

Lost Origin TG06 is the affordable art card that still feels premium in a Gengar page. It is easier to recommend for watchlists because supply and sales are more active.

Market watch note: Because the entry point is lower, shipping and photo quality can change the real value of a copy quickly.

View TCGplayer listings

Modern Mega entry

Mega Gengar ex

269/217 – ME: Ascended Heroes – Mega Attack Rare

TCGplayer NM Holofoil market$59.13

Listed median$78.78

This gives collectors a current Mega Gengar slot without paying SIR money, and it benefits from the same Ascended Heroes search demand.

Market watch note: Watch the spread between market and listed median. If the lower supply gets bought through, this card can reprice faster than older high-supply cards.

View TCGplayer listings

Budget Mega Gengar

Mega Gengar ex

056/094 – ME02: Phantasmal Flames – Double Rare

TCGplayer NM Holofoil market$2.60

Listed median$3.03

Not every binder card needs to be a chase. The Double Rare is the low-cost way to add modern Mega Gengar to a themed page.

Market watch note: At this level, the checkout total matters more than a few cents of market movement. Bundle shipping or buy locally if the card is purely for a binder slot.

View TCGplayer listings

How to Read the Watchlist

The cleanest way to read this list is by lane. Mega Gengar ex 284/217, Gengar VMAX 271/264, and Gengar & Mimikyu GX 165/181 are the premium chase lane. Phantom Forces and XY Promos are the older Mega/EX lane. Temporal Forces, Lost Origin Trainer Gallery, and lower-rarity Mega Gengar ex cards are the practical binder lane.

The watch signal is not just price. Watch whether Near Mint supply is being replaced at the same level, whether listed medians drift away from market price, and whether recent social/search attention pulls buyers into the lower-cost cards after the grails move.

Pricing note: TCGplayer values were checked on July 14, 2026. The table uses current Holofoil market price and listed median from each exact TCGplayer product ID, filtered in the article links for Near Mint English where available. Live listings can move quickly, and older cards may need extra photo and condition review. This is collector market commentary, not a promise that any card will increase in value.

FAQ

What is the top Gengar card in this watchlist?

Mega Gengar ex 284/217 from Ascended Heroes and Gengar VMAX 271/264 from Fusion Strike are the headline modern chase cards. The Tag Team Gengar & Mimikyu GX alternate full art is the premium Sun and Moon-era pick.

Are these Gengar cards guaranteed to go up?

No. This is a collector market watch based on current TCGplayer Holofoil market pricing, listed median prices, set identity, and collector demand. Prices can rise, fall, or move sideways.

Why include lower-priced Mega Gengar ex cards?

A themed binder page works better when it has more than grails. The Mega Attack Rare and Double Rare give collectors modern Mega Gengar options without paying Special Illustration Rare prices.

Should I use market price or listed median?

Use both. Market price is a cleaner historical pricing signal, while listed median shows where current sellers are trying to price the card. If those numbers are far apart, inspect recent sales and photos before buying.

Pokemon Pikachu market watch – updated July 8, 2026

Pikachu Cards to Grab Before They Bounce

Pikachu cards move because the search demand is obvious: collectors know the character, modern sets keep adding premium treatments, and older character-art cards are getting harder to ignore. This watchlist keeps the framing practical with current TCGplayer Near Mint market prices and live listing floors.

Quick Read

Surging Sparks sets the modern ceiling.

The 238/191 SIR is the headline chase, while the 247/191 and 219/191 versions give collectors lower entry points inside the same set.

Character-art Pikachu is the sticky lane.

Cosmic Eclipse, Lost Origin Trainer Gallery, 151, and Crown Zenith all have art-driven demand that collectors can explain quickly.

Market price and listing floor are not the same thing.

Several cards showed real spread between NM market and the lowest visible listing, so condition notes and version details matter.

The 15 Pikachu Cards

Headline chase

Pikachu ex

238/191 – SV08: Surging Sparks – Special Illustration Rare

TCGplayer NM market$362.30

NM listings from$290.59

This is the modern Pikachu chase card people search first. Surging Sparks still has broad collector awareness, and the SIR treatment keeps it at the top of the watchlist.

Market watch note: The live listing floor sat well below the NM market at publication, so compare photos and seller history before assuming the lowest listing is the clean comp.

96 NM quantity, 71 sellers, 165 sold in the 3-month snapshot.

View TCGplayer listings

Older character art

Pikachu (Secret)

241/236 – SM: Cosmic Eclipse – Secret Rare

TCGplayer NM market$225.86

NM listings from$99.00

Cosmic Eclipse character art has aged into a premium lane, and this Red plus Pikachu card remains one of the most recognizable Pikachu binder hits.

Market watch note: The lowest visible listing carried a version-detail warning during the check, so the NM market price is the cleaner reference unless you inspect the exact listing.

48 NM quantity, 40 sellers, 73 sold in the 3-month snapshot.

View TCGplayer listings

Iconic rainbow

Pikachu VMAX (Secret)

188/185 – SWSH04: Vivid Voltage – Secret Rare Rainbow

TCGplayer NM market$200.19

NM listings from$102.99

Rainbow Chunkachu is still the Vivid Voltage identity card. Even collectors who cooled on rainbow rares know this one by sight.

Market watch note: The spread between the listing floor and NM market makes condition photos important. Check centering, whitening, and whether the low copy has any listing notes.

98 NM quantity, 60 sellers, 32 sold in the 3-month snapshot.

Promo scarcity

Pikachu – 027 (Pokemon Center Exclusive)

027 – Scarlet & Violet Promo Cards – Pokemon Center Exclusive

TCGplayer NM market$168.35

NM listings from$155.00

Pokemon Center promos tend to be cleaner collector targets because the release story is simple and searchable.

Market watch note: Supply was thinner than the modern set cards, so a small number of sales can change the visible floor quickly.

26 NM quantity, 21 sellers, 42 sold in the 3-month snapshot.

Premium TG

Pikachu VMAX

TG17/TG30 – Lost Origin Trainer Gallery – Trainer Gallery Ultra Rare

TCGplayer NM market$125.04

NM listings from$77.75

Lost Origin Trainer Gallery has the right mix of nostalgia, trainer pairing, and premium art without being a grail-tier buy.

Market watch note: If the lower listing floor gets bought through, this card becomes easier to read because the next clean copies sit closer to the market number.

62 NM quantity, 47 sellers, 131 sold in the 3-month snapshot.

Red and Pikachu

Pikachu V

TG16/TG30 – Lost Origin Trainer Gallery – Trainer Gallery Ultra Rare

TCGplayer NM market$139.17

NM listings from$100.00

This is one of the strongest modern Red and Pikachu cards for collectors who want character art rather than another chase rarity label.

Market watch note: It had a higher NM market than the TG17 VMAX at check time, so do not assume VMAX automatically means the stronger market card.

50 NM quantity, 39 sellers, 146 sold in the 3-month snapshot.

Modern gold lane

Pikachu ex

247/191 – SV08: Surging Sparks – Hyper Rare

TCGplayer NM market$92.67

NM listings from$89.99

The Hyper Rare gives Surging Sparks collectors a lower-cost Pikachu ex chase compared with the SIR.

Market watch note: Market and floor were close at publication, which makes this easier to comp than cards with extreme spread.

75 NM quantity, 67 sellers, 239 sold in the 3-month snapshot.

Pikachu

173/165 – Scarlet & Violet 151 – Illustration Rare

TCGplayer NM market$93.65

NM listings from$79.99

Pokemon 151 is built for nostalgia search demand, and the Pikachu Illustration Rare remains a binder-page staple.

Market watch note: High supply makes patience useful. With hundreds of current NM copies, prioritize a clean copy and fair shipping over speed.

238 NM quantity, 128 sellers, 606 sold in the 3-month snapshot.

Crossover demand

Pikachu ex

TCGplayer NM market$74.13

NM listings from$67.69

Prismatic Evolutions brings set-level attention, and Pikachu benefits whenever collectors search across the biggest modern Pokemon names.

Market watch note: The floor and market were fairly close, so sudden movement would likely show up in seller depth first.

NM listings from$56.50

This is the affordable Lost Origin character-art anchor. It has strong sales activity and broad collector recognition.

Pikachu (Secret)

160/159 – Crown Zenith – Secret Rare

TCGplayer NM market$51.32

NM listings from$46.99

Crown Zenith continues to screen well with collectors, and this Pikachu is a familiar lower-middle price point.

Market watch note: The sales count was high, so watch trend and replacement listings rather than one isolated low listing.

If the rainbow VMAX gets too expensive, collectors often check the Vivid Voltage full-art lane next.

Market watch note: The listing floor was far below market, so inspect the first copies carefully and do not treat the floor as the whole market.

A clean budget full art gives the watchlist an approachable Pikachu slot under the bigger modern chases.

Pikachu VMAX (Secret)

TG29/TG30 – Lost Origin Trainer Gallery – Trainer Gallery Secret Rare

NM listings from$24.00

This is the low-cost secret-rare closer: recognizable Pikachu VMAX treatment without the Vivid Voltage rainbow price.

How to Read the Watchlist

The cleanest way to read this list is by lane. The SIR and older character-art cards are the premium watchlist, the Lost Origin and 151 cards are the high-recognition middle, and the lower-cost full arts or gold cards are the entry points.

None of this requires assuming every Pikachu card will run. The better signal is whether Near Mint supply keeps getting replaced near the same price, whether listing floors tighten, and whether the cards with actual sales volume keep holding buyer interest.

Pricing note: TCGplayer values were checked on July 8, 2026. The table uses the Near Mint Holofoil market or comparison price visible on each TCGplayer product page, plus the lowest visible Near Mint listing floor at check time. Live listings can move quickly, and some listing floors need extra version or condition review. This is collector market commentary, not a promise that any card will increase in value.

FAQ

What is the top Pikachu card in this watchlist?

Pikachu ex 238/191 from Surging Sparks is the headline modern chase here because it combines Pikachu demand, SIR treatment, and strong set-level search interest.

Which older Pikachu card is most important to watch?

Pikachu Secret Rare 241/236 from Cosmic Eclipse is the key older character-art card in this article. It has Red and Pikachu, strong binder appeal, and an older set identity collectors still search.

Are the lowest TCGplayer listings always the best comp?

No. The lowest visible listing can include condition notes, version details, weak seller photos, shipping differences, or language confusion. The NM market price and the listing floor should be read together.

Are these Pikachu cards guaranteed to bounce?

No. This is a watchlist based on collector demand, current Near Mint pricing, listing supply, and sales activity. Prices can rise, fall, or move sideways.

One Piece Luffy Cards to Watch Before They Bounce

by GradeReady Editorial July 8, 2026

written by GradeReady Editorial

One Piece Luffy market watch – updated July 8, 2026

One Piece Luffy Cards to Watch Before They Bounce

Luffy cards are the easiest One Piece cards to search and the hardest to ignore when the market heats up. This watch list covers manga rare, leader alternate art, promo, secret rare, and parallel Luffy cards with current Near Mint pricing.

Cards11 Luffy picks

FocusCollector market watch

Watch on YouTube Watch on TikTok

Quick Read

The manga rare sets the ceiling.

OP09-119 Manga is the headline chase, but the live ask spread is very different from the market number.

Leader alternate arts are the search-friendly middle.

OP05, OP16, and OP13 Luffy leaders give collectors recognizable Luffy slots without manga-rare pricing.

Promos and parallels are the watchlist layer.

Event Pack, Tin Pack, Gear 5, and OP07/OP16 parallels can move if attention rotates down the price ladder.

Market watch note: There was plenty of supply at publication, so be selective. Buy the cleaner copy, not the fastest copy.

How to Read the List

For a collector watch list, separate these cards into three lanes: the top chase, the leader alternate arts, and the lower-cost promo/parallel cards. That keeps the manga rare from distorting how you read the rest of the market.

The cleaner move is not to assume every Luffy card will run. Watch listing depth, Near Mint photo quality, recent sales, and whether low listings are being replaced quickly after they sell.

Pricing note: TCGplayer values were checked on July 8, 2026. The prices shown are the Near Mint Foil market or Near Mint Foil comparison values visible on the TCGplayer product pages at publication time. Live listings can move quickly, especially on low-quantity promos and chase cards. This is collector market commentary, not a guarantee that any card will increase in value.

FAQ

Which Luffy card is the biggest chase here?

Monkey.D.Luffy OP09-119 Manga is the top chase in this list because the price tier, scarcity, and character demand are far above the rest of the group.

Which Luffy cards are easier to watch under $100?

The OP16 leader alternate art, OP15-119 alternate art, OP07-109 parallel, OP13 leader alternate art, OP16-015 alternate art, ST21-014 parallel, and P-075 Tin Pack promo all screened below $100 Near Mint at publication.

Are these guaranteed to go up?

No. The point is to identify cards with collector attention, character demand, promo or alternate-art appeal, and current market data worth tracking. Prices can fall, flatten, or move sideways.

Why do some listing floors differ from the market price?

TCGplayer market price, Near Mint comparison price, listed median, and the lowest live listing can all be different. For thin cards, one or two listings can make the live ask look much higher or lower than the market reference.

Gift Collection 2023 is the premium row.

Chopper, Luffy, Nami, and Zoro bring the highest prices and the strongest holiday promo identity.

How to Build the Binder Page

Start the center row with Chopper, Luffy, and Nami if you want the page to read as a holiday Gift Collection spread. Put Zoro on a corner or bottom row to add contrast, then use Robson, Hiking Bear, and Lapins to pull the page back into winter instead of only red promo art.

If you add the Carddass Christmas trio, track it separately. It is visually perfect for a Christmas One Piece cards page, but the comp logic is closer to vintage Japanese collectibles than modern TCGplayer singles.

Pricing note: TCGplayer values were checked on July 6, 2026. For modern One Piece TCG cards, the number shown is the TCGplayer Near Mint SKU market price available at publication, with low listing and listed median context included where available. The Carddass Christmas trio is priced from eBay marketplace comps because it is a vintage Carddass set rather than a standard modern TCGplayer single; check condition, photos, shipping, and whether all three cards are included before treating any comp as comparable.

FAQ

Are these official winter One Piece cards?

No. This is a collector theme built around snowy artwork, holiday-style Gift Collection promos, Christmas Carddass cards, and cards that work together in a binder page.

Which card is the best high-end pick?

Tony Tony.Chopper Gift Collection 2023 is the clearest Christmas visual and had the highest TCGplayer Near Mint market price in this check.

Which cards are the best budget picks?

Robson, Hiking Bear, and Lapins are the budget winter lane. They add snow and Drum Kingdom flavor without needing promo-card money.

What should I pay for the Carddass Christmas trio?

Active eBay examples checked July 6, 2026 clustered around $78-$100 for raw/ungraded C517/C518/C519 sets, with one higher out-of-stock/3-sold example at $186.53. Check condition, seller location, shipping, and whether all three cards are included before treating a comp as comparable.

How does GradeReady help with a theme page?

Use GradeReady to track each binder slot, save condition notes, attach source links, separate modern TCGplayer cards from vintage comps, and revisit values after market movement.

Firework Themed Pokemon Cards for Your Binder

Pokemon binder theme – updated July 5, 2026

Firework themed Pokemon cards for your binder.

This list is inspired by GradeReady's new Pokemon Fireworks short. It is built for collectors who want a binder page that feels intentional: fireworks, festival lights, promo energy, and enough market context to avoid guessing.

Quick Read

Festival Lead is the budget lane.

Goldeen and Swirlix are cheap visual theme pieces, while Dipplin gives the page a true art-card hit.

Tohoku’s Pikachu carries promo energy.

It is the easiest recognizable centerpiece if you want the binder page to feel Pokemon-first.

Friends in Alola needs comp discipline.

The art fits perfectly, but the price spread is wide enough that every listing needs verification.

View TCGplayer listings Source

How to Build the Binder Page

Start with Tohoku's Pikachu and N's Plan as the center row because they are the most readable from a distance. Place Goldeen and Swirlix around them for direct fireworks and festival color, then use Dipplin as the Illustration Rare slot that makes the page feel curated.

Friends in Alola works best as the final pocket or top-corner grail slot. Track it separately in GradeReady, add a condition note, and keep screenshots or source links with the card record when comps are wide.

Market note: Prices and comp notes were checked on July 5, 2026. Some values come from active listing-style data shown in the GradeReady social video, while broader comp guides can differ sharply. Treat this post as a collector research starting point, not a guaranteed buy price.

FAQ

Are these official firework Pokemon cards?

No. This is a collector theme built around artwork that reads as fireworks, festival lights, lanterns, promos, and night-event binder energy.

Which card is the best budget pick?

Goldeen and Swirlix are the easiest low-cost theme cards. Dipplin is the best middle lane if you want an Illustration Rare without moving into promo-grail pricing.

Why is Friends in Alola listed with two very different numbers?

The social-video listing-style number and broader comp guide are far apart. That is exactly why this card needs version, condition, authenticity, seller, and recent sold-comp verification before buying.

How does GradeReady fit this binder idea?

Use GradeReady to track the theme page, keep condition notes, compare source links, and separate low-cost filler cards from promo cards that need stricter comp discipline.

Fourth of July One Piece TCG Cards: Red, White and Blue Binder Picks

One Piece TCG binder theme – updated July 4, 2026

Fourth of July One Piece cards with real collector prices.

This list is inspired by GradeReady's 4th of July One Piece TCG Binder Theme Short. It is not an official holiday product list; it is a collector-friendly red, white, blue, fireworks, and cookout binder page built around cards that already look celebratory.

LayoutFull-bleed mobile

Watch the Short

Quick Read

P-080 Luffy is the corrected pick.

The Bandai Card Games Fest food promo replaces the unrelated anniversary stamped Luffy and better matches the Short.

O-Nami is the visual centerpiece.

The fireworks and lanterns make it the strongest Fourth of July card in the group.

Use comp discipline on promos.

P-080, MOS Burger, and vintage fireworks cards need version-specific checks before buying.

Pool party contrast

Donquixote Doflamingo (SP)

OP01-073 – 500 Years in the Future

Price / comp$88.10

CheckedJuly 4, 2026

Summer color, blue counter icon, and a strong red-white character composition.

Doflamingo gives the theme a sharper collector edge. The art breaks up the softer lantern and fireworks cards while still feeling like a summer holiday display.

GradeReady check: If you are buying for display, prioritize copies with strong front photos. Small surface issues are easier to ignore in a deck card than in a themed binder centerpiece.

View TCGplayer listings

Lantern festival look

Kouzuki Hiyori (Alternate Art)

OP06-106 – Wings of the Captain

Price / comp$22.94

CheckedJuly 4, 2026

Fireworks, lanterns, stage color, and a calm visual counterweight to the louder red cards.

Hiyori is the best value pick in this theme. The artwork carries the holiday concept without forcing it, and the price point is much easier to work with than the top SP cards.

GradeReady check: A clean Near Mint copy matters here. The bright border and foil area can show wear quickly, especially in listing photos with glare.

View TCGplayer listings

Affordable food promo

Monkey.D.Luffy (Tin Pack Set Vol. 2)

P-075 – One Piece Promotion Cards

Price / comp$12.53

CheckedJuly 4, 2026

A lower-cost Luffy food card that keeps the barbecue/picnic angle without the P-080 premium.

P-075 gives the page a practical budget lane. It is not as scarce as P-080, but it supports the same summer food theme and works well as a corner card in a nine-pocket layout.

GradeReady check: Make sure you are comparing the Tin Pack Set Vol. 2 print, not a Japanese reprint or a different P-075 release.

View TCGplayer listings

Monkey.D.Luffy MOS Burger P-080 Japanese One Piece promo card

Import variant

Monkey.D.Luffy (MOS Burger P-080 Japanese Promo)

P-080 – Japanese MOS Burger collaboration

Price / comp$60-$90 comps

CheckedJuly 4, 2026

The MOS Burger print is the food-table version collectors will recognize immediately.

This is the import variant that makes the food theme obvious. It is a strong visual inclusion, but it should be priced by version, language, and sealed status rather than lumped together with the English Bandai Card Games Fest P-080.

GradeReady check: Compare sealed versus raw, Japanese versus English, and whether the listing is actually the MOS Burger collaboration card.

Check marketplace comps

Vintage fireworks bonus

Luffy Pirates Fireworks Viewing

S101 – vintage Bandai fireworks card

Price / comp$35-$137 comps

CheckedJuly 4, 2026

A true fireworks scene with the Straw Hats, perfect for the theme even though it sits outside modern TCGplayer tracking.

This is the purest Fourth of July visual in the group. It is not the same market structure as modern One Piece TCG singles, but it makes the binder page feel curated instead of algorithmic.

GradeReady check: Treat this as a vintage comp card. Condition, foil surface, seller location, and whether the card is from Carddass/older Bandai lines can swing the price.

View marketplace example

How to Build the Binder Page

Build the page around O-Nami and P-080 Luffy first. Put O-Nami in the center for fireworks, place P-080 Luffy on a top or bottom corner for the cookout angle, then use Hiyori and Uso-Hachi to keep the lantern/festival color story moving.

Doflamingo adds contrast, P-075 Luffy gives the layout a budget-friendly food card, and the MOS Burger plus vintage fireworks cards can sit as bonus import/vintage slots. That creates a page that feels curated instead of just red-card filtering.

Link note: Prices were checked on July 4, 2026. TCGplayer prices, listing medians, and marketplace comps can move quickly, especially on promos, imports, SP cards, and vintage Bandai cards. These are standard product/reference links at publication, not affiliate links. If GradeReady adds affiliate links later, the post should include a clear disclosure near the top.

FAQ

Are these official Fourth of July One Piece cards?

No. This is a collector theme built around red, white, blue, fireworks, festival, cookout, promo, and celebration-style artwork.

Which Luffy card belongs in the theme?

The corrected main pick is Monkey.D.Luffy (Bandai Card Games Fest 24-25) P-080. It fits the food and celebration theme better than the unrelated 2nd Anniversary stamped promo.

Which card is the best budget pick?

Monkey.D.Luffy (Tin Pack Set Vol. 2) P-075 and Kouzuki Hiyori OP06-106 are the easiest lower-cost picks compared with O-Nami, P-080 Luffy, and the bigger SP cards.

Why are some prices listed as comps?

Some Japanese collaboration and vintage fireworks cards do not have a clean current TCGplayer market page, so the safer approach is to compare recent marketplace comps by condition, language, sealed status, and exact print.

Pokemon Cards Going Up This Week: July 2026 Market Watch

by GradeReady Editorial July 3, 2026

written by GradeReady Editorial

Pokemon market watch – updated July 3, 2026

The Pokemon cards getting collector attention this week.

This week is less about one giant modern chase card and more about older scarcity, Eeveelution demand, Fates Collide turning ten, and small Illustration Rare buyouts in Black Bolt and White Flare.

Read time: 7 min

Data checked: Jul 3, 2026

Focus: Singles + set trends

Quick Read

Vintage promos are driving the top end.

Birthday Pikachu and Snorlax show how quickly low-supply older promos can move when clean copies get scarce.

XY attention is widening.

Fates Collide is old enough for anniversary demand, especially on Alakazam-EX and Umbreon-EX.

Fresh Illustration Rares are volatile.

Black Bolt and White Flare cards can move fast, but supply can also return fast.

Pokemon Cards Going Up This Week

These are the cards with the clearest collector attention right now. Treat each one as a research prompt, then check condition and actual available listings before buying.

Vintage promo

Birthday Pikachu

WoTC Promo 24

Market: $323.03

Low: $185.00

Updated: Jul 2

The anniversary-year nostalgia cycle keeps this card on collector watchlists. Clean copies are thin, and condition separation matters more than the headline chart move.

GradeReady check: Check corners, surface indentations, writing-box wear, and whether the copy is actually clean enough to justify the premium.

Eeveelution demand

Flareon-EX

Generations: Radiant Collection RC28

Market: $208.82

Low: $56.12

Updated: Jul 3

Full-art Eeveelution demand is still doing real work here. The move is interesting, but damaged discount copies can distort the read.

GradeReady check: Avoid chasing a cheap listing unless the photos support the condition. Display quality drives the thesis.

Low-supply classic

Snorlax

WoTC Promo 49

Market: $351.88

Low: $385.00

Updated: Jul 2

Older promo supply can get thin quickly. When the available listings are sparse, a few clean copies can reset expectations fast.

GradeReady check: A small crease or surface mark can change value more than the weekly chart suggests.

e-Reader scarcity

Arcanine

Aquapolis 2

Market: $142.08

Low: $44.99

Updated: Jun 30

Aquapolis remains a difficult era to replace in strong condition. The broader e-Reader collector base gives this kind of move staying power when listings dry up.

GradeReady check: Look closely at edge whitening and holo scratching before treating two listings as comparable.

Decade-cycle XY

Alakazam-EX

XY Fates Collide Secret Rare

Market: $148.54

Low: $30.00

Updated: Jul 2

Fates Collide is starting to get the kind of anniversary attention that can push select XY cards ahead of the rest of the set.

GradeReady check: Do not average Secret Rare, Full Art, and regular EX movement together. The exact printing matters.

Umbreon halo effect

Umbreon-EX

XY Fates Collide 55

Market: $73.16

Low: $12.25

Updated: Jul 3

Umbreon strength can pull attention toward older adjacent printings. This is worth watching, but it needs volume support to avoid being a sympathy move.

GradeReady check: Watch available Near Mint supply, not only the top-line market number.

Buyout watch

Krokorok

Black Bolt 136 Illustration Rare

Market: $15.21

Low: $13.64

Updated: Jul 3

This is the kind of small-base move that can look dramatic quickly. It belongs on a watchlist, not in a panic-buy bucket.

GradeReady check: If supply returns, the spike can cool just as quickly as it appeared.

Fresh-set IR

Swadloon

White Flare 88 Illustration Rare

Market: $13.15

Low: $10.00

Updated: Jul 3

Fresh-set Illustration Rare movement can reward early attention, but the risk is buying after the easy move has already happened.

GradeReady check: Use it as a watchlist card and compare new listings before assuming the price is stable.

Set Heat Map

PokemonWizard set data shows a split market: Paldean Fates, White Flare, and Black Bolt remain firm, while Scarlet & Violet 151 and Chaos Rising cooled during the same window.

Name	Market	7 day	30 day	Grade
Paldean Fates	$3,041.14	+3.97%	+9.29%	A
White Flare	$3,985.81	+1.95%	+11.91%	A
Black Bolt	$4,476.38	+1.31%	+10.98%	A
Prismatic Evolutions	$6,028.44	+0.25%	+2.39%	A
Scarlet & Violet 151	$2,183.61	-4.58%	-7.46%	A
Chaos Rising	$917.40	-3.55%	-30.14%	A

How To Read Weekly Price Spikes

Separate true scarcity from a thin-listing buyout.
Compare the exact printing, rarity, and condition.
Watch whether new listings refill under the latest market price.
For modern Illustration Rares, be extra careful when a low-price card doubles from a small base.

Use GradeReady before you chase a spike.

Weekly movement is useful, but condition, liquidity, and comparable listings still decide whether a card belongs in your collection.

FAQ

Which Pokemon cards are going up this week?

The strongest watchlist this week includes Birthday Pikachu, Flareon-EX, Snorlax WoTC Promo, Aquapolis Arcanine, Fates Collide Alakazam-EX, Fates Collide Umbreon-EX, and smaller Black Bolt / White Flare Illustration Rares.

Is Birthday Pikachu still worth watching in 2026?

Yes, but condition is the deciding factor. The card has strong nostalgia and anniversary attention, but rough copies should not be valued like clean copies.

Should collectors buy after a weekly spike?

Not automatically. Weekly spikes are a signal to research supply, recent sold listings, condition, and whether new copies are appearing at lower prices.
