Medium conviction · Thesis-only · Founder call
Official Event Top Prize — awarded, not sold; supply is tiny
Upward-arrow design language — Bandai's motif for tournament/event/promo cards, historically a precursor to low print runs and stronger collector demand
PSA 10 copies exist and grade well — high-grade scarcity compounds
Durable Luffy demand — the franchise's anchor character
Public track record
5 graded: 1 hit, 4 misses · early sample · nothing backdated
This serial spans $204 to $1,942. 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 →
6 sales over 82 days, from $1,691 to $2,058. The latest was $1,691 on Sep 13, 2026. We called it on Jun 23, 2026 — 6 of these sales happened after that.
Each dot is one real sale — the greener it is, the cheaper it sold.best price→highest
We don't join the dots with a line — that would invent prices nobody ever paid.
JP Official Event Top Prize (Flagship Battle 'Winner's Memento'), PSA 10. NOT the 'For Asia' print (PSA label '... Asia', trades lower and thinner), NOT the Simplified-Chinese print, NOT the English Event Prize, NOT PSA 9.

Official Event Top-Prize Luffy — handed out only to top finishers, so the print run is a rounding error next to any retail card. Founder has held since January (entry, current price and multiple are shown above, kept current from the sold-comp ledger). PSA 10 comps cooled from a May–June spike but the position is well in the money. The upward-arrow design language Bandai reserves for tournament, event and promo cards is the same tell that has historically preceded low print runs and durable demand.
