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.
This is independent analysis of physical collectibles — not financial advice. Prices are variant-matched last-sold estimates (eBay, TCGplayer, SNKRDUNK), not live quotes. (Card images below are the shared base art as a placeholder — the stamp/foil differences aren't visible in a flat scan; variant-correct photos to follow.)
The four variants — priced, with our call
Tap any variant for its full reading.
| Variant | What makes it distinct | Last sold (re-checked 15 Sep 2026) | Our call |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd-Anniversary stamped (EN) | English event stamp; event-only print | raw ~$15 (TCGplayer, 14–15 Sep) | 🟢 BUY (target $59, reset 15 Sep 2026) |
| WSJ #36-37 foil (JP) | Japanese magazine foil, no stamp | raw ~$57 (SNKRDUNK, 3–5 Sep) · PSA 10 ~$133–142 (SNKRDUNK, 12–14 Sep) | 🟢 BUY (target $225, reset 15 Sep 2026) |
| Convention Exclusive foil | the rarest print — foil, convention-only | PSA 10 ~$760–1,125, falling (eBay, since 1 Sep) | 🟢 BUY (new call 15 Sep 2026, target $1,100, Low conviction) · July call closed as a miss |
| Convention non-foil | same art, no foil | PSA 10 ~$178–222 (eBay, 2–11 Sep) | Fair value |
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:
- Stamp — the English 2nd-Anniversary print carries an event stamp; the others don't.
- Foil — the WSJ and the convention-foil are foil; the treatment alone is most of the value gap.
- Language — English (2nd-Anniv, convention) vs Japanese (WSJ #36-37).
- Grade — the pricier variants trade almost entirely as PSA 10; raw and graded diverge hugely.
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.
