Sanji

Market outlook

Stable Outlook 6/10

Post-spike stabilization after metagame hype from OP-08; raw prices fluctuate but graded copies maintain value amid One Piece TCG growth.

Next months. Stable with minor upside from tournament play; raw NM $15-$20.

Long term. Stable to rising for high-grade copies if character archetype remains relevant; potential decline if power creeped out.

Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering on front and back, edge wear, surface scratches on foil, print defects, and corner dings common in Secret Rare foils; holo pattern scratches are frequent flaws.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top-loaders or magnetic holders with cardboard inserts, store in cool, dry, UV-free environment away from direct light to prevent foil oxidation.

Authenticity. Verify holo pattern consistency, card stock thickness, font alignment, and OP06 set symbol; compare to official scans from LimitlessTCG; fakes often have blurry art or incorrect power text; professional grading recommended for high-value copies.
