Knowledge
Collector's Notes
Reading the card number
In "OP05-119" in the bottom right, OP05 is the product type and set (booster set 5), followed by the card’s number within the set (119). ST is a Starter Deck, EB an Extra Booster, PRB a Premium Booster, and numbers like "P-001" are promos.
The ★ on parallels
Parallels share the number and rarity of the regular card but differ in art or finish. From OP-04, a ★ above the rarity marks them. Parallels from the OP-01 to OP-03 products have no ★ (later reprints of those numbers do).
Super Parallels
Special parallels filled with panels from the manga, often called "manga" cards. OP-05 was the first set with three, and Gear 5 Luffy (OP05-119) is the best known.
SP and TR
Special cards marked "SP" to the left of the number keep the original card number and can appear in later sets. Treasure Rares are also identified by the "TR" mark to the left of the number.
The number in the corner (Block Icon)
It shows when a card was released: ① for sets 1–4, ② for sets 5–8, rising each year. Since April 2026 it decides which cards are legal in tournaments.
Serial-numbered cards
Some tournament prizes carry a number such as "/1600" in the top left. OP01-120 Shanks, for example, was a Flagship Battle prize.
How to Submit
Tips for your submission
Where to find the card number
The number in the bottom right, such as "OP05-119", is the card number, and "OP05" is the product code. Search the set field by product code or set name.
For Special cards, reprints, promos and similar cards, the card number may not match the set. Choose the set the card was actually released in.
Spotting a parallel
From OP-04, parallels have a ★ above the rarity. Parallels from the OP-01 to OP-03 products have no ★, so compare the art and finish with the official card list.
When the number doesn’t tell you the set
For example, the Special card version of OP05-119 came in a later set, not OP-05. If you are not sure which set it came from, type the product or event name as best you can.
