“Luffy crowned King” — a durable, hunted promo art (the long-term collector floor)
Grading-EV: PSA 10 trades well above the ~$72 raw
A wide reprint or continued softening would push it lower still

This serial spans $38.79 to $1,187.50. 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.
5 sales over 26 days, from $52.89 to $102.98. The latest was $52.89 on Jul 29, 2026. We called it on Jul 12, 2026 — 4 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.
The JP Weekly Shonen Jump #36-37 FOIL (no event stamp), raw NM single. NOT the ~$20 Chinese print, PSA 10 / CGC / BGS graded copies (~$210–500), the magazine-included listings (~$120–200), or the separate convention-foil variant.

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 down to ~$72 now (real sold comps shown above), 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 (~$280–500) the only real headroom for anyone willing to grade. Not a chase at these levels.

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 $72 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 $350, called 2026-07-12.
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.
