P-043 “King Luffy” — 4 cards, one number

2nd-Anniv stamped (EN)
raw ~$15
WSJ #36-37 foil (JP)
raw ~$57 · PSA10 ~$133–142
Convention foil
PSA10 ~$760–1,125 (falling)
Convention non-foil
PSA10 ~$178–222

Verdict — “P-043 Luffy” is not one card — it's at least four, from ~$15 to ~$1,100 depending on stamp, foil and print. Match the exact variant before you buy or sell; the number alone tells you nothing.

The short answer: P-043 is the “crowned King” Monkey D. Luffy promo (cost 7 / 7000, blue, "On Play: return a cost-3-or-less character"). But one serial hides at least four different collectibles — the English 2nd-Anniversary stamped print, the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump #36-37 foil, a Convention-Exclusive foil, and a Convention non-foil — trading anywhere from ~$15 to ~$1,100 by treatment and grade. Anyone pricing “P-043” off a single number is almost certainly wrong. Here's each variant, priced on real sold comps, and which ones we rate a Buy.

Three of the four are Buys. The Convention foil's July call closed as a miss on 15 Sep 2026 and a new, smaller call was opened the same day; the convention non-foil is a fair-value read. The spread from ~$15 to ~$1,100 is entirely treatment and print — same character, same artwork.

Why the number is meaningless on its own

Every one of these is stamped “P-043,” so a listing that just says “P-043 Luffy” could be a $15 raw stamped copy or a $1,100 graded convention foil. The disambiguators:

This is the single most common way collectors overpay (or undersell) King Luffy — and exactly why we price each variant to its own sold comps rather than a blended aggregate. Price apps routinely mix these into one wrong number; we don't. See how we price cards.

What we'd buy

The 2nd-Anniversary stamped English print is event-only and scarcer than the Japanese copies, with strong English demand — our standing Buy at ~$15 raw (target reset to $59 on 15 Sep 2026). The WSJ #36-37 foil has not firmed; it has fallen. Raw now trades ~$57 on SNKRDUNK and PSA 10 ~$133–142, so its target was reset to $225 on 15 Sep 2026. The Convention foil is still the grail print. Our July Buy on it closed as a miss on 15 Sep 2026: PSA 10 sold $1,125 on 3 Sep, then $760–790 on 8–14 Sep, below the ~$900 line that call set. A new call opened the same day targets a return to $1,100, its early-September level, at Low conviction. Each carries a dated target on its card page, with founder positions disclosed where held.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the P-043 King Luffy worth?

It depends entirely on the variant, because “P-043” is at least four different cards. On sold comps re-checked 15 September 2026: the English 2nd-Anniversary stamped print is ~$15 raw (TCGplayer), the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump #36-37 foil is ~$57 raw (PSA 10 ~$133–142, SNKRDUNK), the Convention-Exclusive foil has fallen to PSA 10 ~$760–1,125 on eBay, and the Convention non-foil is PSA 10 ~$178–222. Match the exact stamp/foil/print before pricing.

What is the P-043 “King Luffy” card?

P-043 is a Monkey D. Luffy promo (cost 7, 7000 power, blue; “On Play: return up to 1 Character with a cost of 3 or less to the owner's hand”) drawn as Luffy crowned as King on a treasure throne — one of the most-hunted promo arts in One Piece TCG.

Why are there different P-043 prices everywhere?

Because one serial number spans multiple distinct collectibles — an English 2nd-Anniversary stamped print, a Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump foil, a Convention foil, and a Convention non-foil — that trade from ~$15 to ~$1,100. Price apps and casual listings often blend these into one wrong number. The only reliable value comes from comps matched to the exact variant and grade.

How do I tell the P-043 variants apart?

Check four things: the stamp (the English 2nd-Anniversary print carries an event stamp, the others don't), foil (the WSJ and convention-foil versions are foil), language (English vs Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump #36-37), and grade (the pricier variants trade almost entirely as PSA 10). The number alone is not enough.

Which P-043 King Luffy is the best buy?

We rate three as Buys: the English 2nd-Anniversary stamped print (event-only, scarce, ~$15 raw, target $59, reset 15 September 2026) and the Japanese WSJ #36-37 foil (raw has fallen to ~$57, target $225, reset 15 September 2026). The rare Convention foil's July call closed as a miss on 15 September 2026, and a new call opened the same day targets $1,100 at Low conviction. The Convention non-foil is a fair-value hold. Each call is dated and disclosed on its card page.

Is the P-043 Luffy rare?

Some variants are. The 2nd-Anniversary English print was event-only (exhibitions and competitions) with a low PSA 10 population, and the Convention foil is scarcer still, trading almost entirely graded (PSA 10 ~$760–1,125 in September 2026). The Japanese magazine foil is more available but still out of print. Rarity — and price — is variant-specific.
