ONE PIECE TCG

After spending a few hundreds on several card games recently

I think the ONE PIECE TCG would be the way to go moving forward

It definitely has memory value for me, especially since I enjoy watching the anime since young

Lots of nostalgia when I hear their OPs & EDs....

Anyway, after comparing with several other TCGs, I will try to do a quick summary

For their art wise, there are lots of dedicated original artwork illustrated for the card games only

This makes it worth collecting, combined with their highly sought after Manga Ver. cards

and different Special Ver. cards such as Wanted Poster SPs & etcs.

These special cards are really beautiful and holds high value

I would say their prices will definitely spike in the future, especially their booster boxes / cases

Also with the popularity of the anime among global audiences, the ongoing stories

I think the future sets are looking to get more crazy

Imagine when the Rocks Pirate, God Valley, Elbaf, all these manga arcs and characters

 are being introduced into the cardset as SP rares in the future....

Definitely a lot of hype for fans and collectors to look forward to

Comparing to other TCGs

Final Fantasy I would not recommend

Though I admire their cardback qualities

Their card arts are mostly just recycled from their game's archive

Like captured footages from their in-game CG, turned into cards

These are the worst

For Digimon TCG, its great actually

The cards are not too crazy in price too, if you were to collect

With tons of original illustrated card artworks

So far I got the best luck in pulling from them

But I think I've gotten my fill, and since I'm not playing

I don't think I will want to keep spending on them

For other card games

Vanguards have pretty cool artworks

Lots of awesome creatures and characters

But not playing, so yeap, not gonna continue buying

I've already gotten enough cool cards that I'm satisfied with

Then of course, about Magic the Gathering, MTG

I've definitely played enough for my fill last time (laugh)

I know the Secret Lairs are going for tons of cash grabbing reaching into different genres

But you know, totally not interested

The FF Collabs seems cool, but the arts are okay for me

The prices are kinda too overpriced, like Pokemon (woops)

But this game is very playable, and with the player base

Only whether you like playing or not

For me I just don't spend on physical magic cards after transitioning to MTG Arena

And I don't even play it nowadays

Only hopped back a little to craft some FF MTG cards and played a little Brawl

And its enough for me

Had my fill I guess

Finally gotten these Sengoku Taisen cards today

Though I can't play with them

Oh well, just admire their awesome artworks

Just bought a box yesterday

Its a terrible box, but I've tried to make it to good use

I've actually labelled all the packs with numbers from 1 to 24

And did a tabulation of which packs actually yields the Secret, SR, R, Leader & Foil Don

I've gotten the statistics and used them to pick out the packs from new boxes at mart

Unfortunately, didn't hit.

But, I think I should do a  +1 - 1 with my numbers

Count from the Front, and from the Back

But due to financial contraints, I can't buy anymore

Oh well, next time

Another advice for beginner collectors or buyers

Don't really buy boxes or packs from Hako Outpost

Where people rent spaces of glass cabinet to sell stuffs

Because most of these boxes and packs are already filtered out

The sellers are definitely doing to earn positive value

Especially for ONE PIECE, where the secret cards are highly valued

Ratio is like 1:6 or more cases, which is roughly 1 in 72 Boxes?

Once found, people would definitely be confident to sell off all the remaining boxes

Most likely they already opened up the sought-after secrets or special cards in their case

And sold the rest of their boxes as such

Same for the box packs, pulled the wanted, and sold the rest of the packs as loose packs

Its even more expensive than their MSRP price

I've spent $85 for a crap box, where the original value of the box is at $50

So the best would be to go down to a dedicated TCG Cardshop

Which I just found a new one, so near my place

Selling boxes at awesome cheap MSRP prices

Looking forward to visiting and perhaps asking around learning to play ONE PIECE

So yeah
