Lowest One Piece Manga PSA 10 Pop Report Before OP17
We checked 44 English One Piece Manga, Red Manga, Gold Manga, and relevant PRB Manga printings released before OP17. The surprise is at the newest end of the market: all three OP16 Admiral Manga cards currently sit below 250 PSA 10 copies.
Borsalino OP16-073 is the lowest-pop card in this scope at 219 PSA 10s, followed by Sakazuki at 238 and Kuzan at 246.
The Answer in 20 Seconds
OP16 owns the bottom three.
Borsalino, Sakazuki, and Kuzan are the three lowest current PSA 10 populations in the 44-printing pre-OP17 scope.
The expensive trio is still tiny.
Red Manga Sabo, Ace, and Luffy sit at only 284, 301, and 313 PSA 10 copies, respectively.
Population is not print run.
These are graded PSA 10 counts. New cards can climb quickly as more submissions are processed.
The Seven Lowest Current PSA 10 Populations
The ranking below is ordered by current PSA 10 population, not price. PSA estimates and sales can move independently from population.
OP16-073 · Manga Alternate Art
Borsalino — PSA 10 pop 219
Borsalino is the headline. A modern Manga Rare sitting at 219 PSA 10 copies is exactly the kind of number that stops a collector mid-scroll—but it needs context. OP16 is new, so the population is more likely an early grading snapshot than evidence of a tiny print run.
Collector read: scarcity is real today; permanence is not yet proven. Track how quickly the population expands after the next grading wave.
OP16-065 · Manga Alternate Art
Sakazuki — PSA 10 pop 238
Sakazuki lands only 19 copies above Borsalino. The narrow gap makes the Admirals more interesting as a group than as isolated cards: collectors are looking at a matched modern trio with similarly early populations.
OP16-063 · Manga Alternate Art
Kuzan — PSA 10 pop 246
Kuzan completes the bottom-three sweep at 246. With only 27 copies separating the three Admirals, the visual and statistical story is unusually clean: one set, one character group, and three current populations below 250.
OP13-120 · Red Manga Alternate Art
Sabo — PSA 10 pop 284
Sabo is the lowest-pop member of the OP13 Red Manga trio. Unlike OP16, OP13 has had more time to reach graders, so a sub-300 population may carry a different kind of collector signal.
OP13-119 · Red Manga Alternate Art
Portgas D. Ace — PSA 10 pop 301
Ace crosses the 300 line by one copy. Its price is far above the OP16 trio, illustrating why population alone never explains value: character demand, treatment, set context, and completed sales all matter.
OP13-118 · Red Manga Alternate Art
Monkey D. Luffy — PSA 10 pop 313
Luffy is not the lowest population, but it is the price headline. PSA shows a $30,000 estimate and a $29,700 verified sale while the PSA 10 population remains only 313.
Collector read: this is the clearest reminder that the most valuable card and the lowest-pop card are not the same thing.
OP09-118 · Gold Manga Alternate Art
Gol D. Roger — PSA 10 pop 337
Gold Manga Roger closes the sub-340 group. Its older release window and flagship character status make its population more seasoned than the still-forming OP16 numbers.

Why the Newest Cards Can Have the Lowest Pops
A PSA population report is a count of cards graded at each grade—not a count of cards printed. For a new set, the submission pipeline matters: cards must be pulled, submitted, graded, and entered into PSA’s database. That makes low early populations visually exciting but structurally different from low populations that have remained low for years.
- Release timing: OP16 cards have had less time to reach PSA than OP09 or OP13 cards.
- Gem rate: print quality, centering, and surface issues affect how many submitted copies earn a 10.
- Submission incentives: collectors grade cards when the expected value justifies the cost and wait.
- Variant separation: original, PRB, Red Manga, and Gold Manga printings have separate PSA populations.

FAQ
What is the lowest-pop PSA 10 English One Piece Manga card before OP17?
Within this 44-printing scope, Borsalino OP16-073 Manga Alternate Art is the lowest at 219 PSA 10 copies as of September 6, 2026.
Does a low PSA 10 population mean a card has a low print run?
No. PSA population measures graded copies by grade. It does not reveal how many cards were printed, opened, or remain unsubmitted.
Why are the OP16 Admiral cards so low?
OP16 is new, so Borsalino, Sakazuki, and Kuzan have had less time to move through PSA’s grading pipeline. Their current scarcity is real, but the population may grow faster than older cards.
Why rank PRB Manga cards separately?
PSA recognizes Premium Booster Manga treatments as distinct printings from the originals. Collectors should compare exact variants, not combine every card with the same character and card number.
How often should this report be refreshed?
New-release populations can change quickly. Recheck the cited PSA pages before buying, selling, or quoting a specific count.
