Yamato

OK Buy

Low conviction · Emerging evidence · Model estimate

Worth$7

Not the grail: this is the pack-pulled base SEC, not the serialized Yamato — priced accordingly (~$8 raw).

Set: a flagship Romance Dawn (OP01) full-art alt of a popular Wano character.

Grading spread: raw ~$8 vs PSA 10 ~$100 — real upside on a clean, cheap copy.

Cap: reprinted, deep supply and soft demand — already de-rated from earlier highs.

Founder holds this card (disclosed position, cost basis ~$0.50).

Why we believe it

A first-set full-art SEC that's drifted to bulk (~$8 raw) — cheap, asymmetric upside on a popular Wano character. Not the serialized grail.

Biggest risk: Soft demand and a reprinted, deep supply cap the floor's tightness — this has already de-rated. Value is entirely demand/nostalgia-driven with no scarcity underneath.
