“Luffy crowned King” — a durable, hunted promo art (the long-term collector floor)
Grading-EV: PSA 10 clears ~$165 against a ~$58 raw — still ~3x, but both legs are falling
A wide reprint or continued softening would push it lower still

This serial spans $15 to $840.28. The price apps show one number for all of them — that's the trap.
Every price above is variant-matched — a real sold-comp median where the card trades, a model fair value (est) where it hasn't. Never a blended average across the serial. Why one number has several prices →

The Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump #36-37 FOIL of the “crowned King” Luffy — no event stamp, just the magazine foil print, the accessible chase of the P-043 family. HONEST UPDATE (2026-07-30): our original 2026-07-12 BUY (High conviction, $350 target) has NOT worked — the raw has kept softening, from spring ~$200–240 to ~$72 in July and ~$58 now on the JP market where it trades natively (SNKRDUNK accepted sales, shown above) — far below the ~$140 line we ourselves set as the invalidation. So we're downgrading to a low-conviction HOLD: fairly priced at the current raw, with PSA 10 (~$165) the only headroom, and that has come in hard too. Not a chase at these levels. TARGET RESET 2026-09-15: $350 -> $225. 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 $350 target stays on the record here.

Monkey D. Luffy (WSJ Foil) · Weekly Shonen Jump #36-37 · Japanese Foil · P rarity. A One Piece TCG card tracked by TCGIntel.
It trades around $57 on the recent market. Independent read of a physical collectible — not financial advice.
TCGIntel's current call is BUY (Low conviction). Independent analysis of a physical collectible — not financial advice.
Our dated target is $225, called 2026-09-15.
We'd revisit this call if: Already triggered: raw cleared below the ~$140 line we set, so the aggressive-buy thesis is void. We'd turn constructive again only if raw re-rates back above ~$140 on real sales, or PSA 10 demand strengthens materially.
