The 3-Admirals manga set is the flagship OP16 chase (villain expansion beyond Straw Hats)
Down ~62% since July on real clears — the modern-set volatility this call flagged
New-set momentum has reversed — the drawdown is now the risk, not the catalyst

The manga-panel (コミパラ / ComiPara) SR-SP Sakazuki OP16-065 — the OP16 Admiral chase, raw NM. NOT the base SR (~$0.34), NOT the alt-art parallel (~$13), NOT graded (PSA 10 $1,625–1,825, BGS 10 $2,519).

The manga-panel (コミパラ / ComiPara) SR-SP Sakazuki — the #1 chase of OP16 'The Time of Battle' and the headline of the set's 3-Admirals manga trio (with Kuzan 063 and Borsalino 073). The new-set spike has unwound: repriced 2026-09-02 on five eBay raw clears from $850 to $1,190 plus the $1,166 TCGplayer print, the card sits at ~$1,050 against the ~$2,800 sold median we carried in July — a 62% drawdown. PSA 10 has fallen with it, to ~$1,625-1,825 from ~$3,200-3,700. The 'modern-set volatility' risk this call named is exactly what happened. TRAP serial: NOT the ~$0.34 base SR or the ~$13 alt-art parallel that share the number. Founder does not hold this card (disclosed). TARGET RESET 2026-09-15: $3,500 -> $3,400. After re-pricing on current sold comps the old target sat more than 300% above the market, which no longer reads as a defensible dated call; the original $3,500 target stays on the record here.
