The Red Manga Rares are One Piece OP13's premium chase cards, renowned for their vivid manga-panel backgrounds that immortalize iconic story moments. These cards blend scarcity with artistry, transforming beloved scenes into shimmering collectibles. As you will see below, there are 3 red manga rares (Luffy, Ace, Sabo), and their regular alternate foil versions.
Portgas.D.Ace (119) (Red Super Alternate Art)

Another alternate-artwork for the original Shanks - OP09-004, available in Gold and Silver foils, delivers a strikingly elegant aesthetic. Its popularity as a Super Rare feels inevitable—the refined detailing and regal presence make it a standout homage to the iconic character.
Portgas.D.Ace (119) (Super Alternate Art)
Sold price range on eBay (last 7 days): $800 - $950
Rarity: Secret Rare
Shanks - OP09-004 (SP) (Silver)

Portgas.D.Ace (119) (Wanted Poster)
Sold price range on eBay (last 7 days): $500 - $650
Rarity: Secret Rare
The misprinted Wanted Poster Portgas D. Ace (OP13-119)—erroneously bearing Luffy’s ability text—has unintentionally birthed a collector’s dream. While Bandai’s replacement program will fix future prints, the original error-text rarity could skyrocket in value if swapped en masse. Holders eyeing long-term intrigue should stash theirs: corrected versions will flood the market, but flawed copies? A vanishing trophy of chaos.
St. Topman Warcury (Red Parallel)
Sold price range on eBay (last 7 days): $300 - $410
Rarity: Rare
The St.Topman Warcury Red Parallel is a part of The Five Elders’ alternate-art red variants that can only be found together within one single ultra-rare “god pack”, containing an alternate Imu (OP13-079) leader as well. This exclusivity creates stratospheric chase factor. Bandai’s alleged nod to this mechanic would cement these as the One Piece TCG’s holy grail: a self-contained, hyper-scarce trophy case, blending lore and rarity into one blistering hype storm.
Honorable Mentions
There are many other cards we coud have added up close to the bottom $300 range for this list, and we would have been long. Instead, we wanna share the few missing cards from the same in illustration inserts, and few sleepers.
Alternate Art Leader Cards
A total of 6 Alternate-art Leaders, like Imu (OP13-079 AA) and Portgas D. Ace (OP13-002 AA), both priced around $58, Imu’s role as the franchise’s overarching antagonist and Ace’s competitive dominance drive their high demand. However the popularity of Luffy's brother is giving an equal market price tag, lets not forget the Imu alt art can only be found in a god pack!
The Other 'Wanted Poster' Cards
However, the misprinted Wanted Poster Portgas D. Ace (OP13-119) has stolen the spotlight from these three. The Wanted Poster illustrations have become a cornerstone of the One Piece TCG universe, with Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Luffy versions currently valued at $180 and $150 respectively.
The God Pack Gorosei Cards
We mentioned the St.Topman Warcury Red Parallel, which is a part of The Five Elders’ alternate-art red variants, and all of them can only be found together within one single ultra-rare “god pack”. So the remaining four below sit around the same staggering range in between $250 to $300 right now. All of them are of value.
Key Takeaway (Not Financial Advice):
- Chase Ultra-Rares: Prioritize Manga Rares/Demon Pack exclusives (Five Elders, Imu)—scarcity + lore ensures lasting prestige.
- Errors as Trophies: Misprints like Wanted Poster Ace (OP13-119) gain value if replacements dilute corrected versions.
- Lore-Driven Staples: Iconic characters (Luffy/Roger, Imu AA) blend narrative weight and gameplay relevance for sustained demand.
Why It Matters:
1. True rarity (limited prints) outpaces short-term meta cards.
2. Emotional/franchise milestones (Ace’s death, Imu’s mystery) transcend gameplay.
3. Meta-dependent cards risk volatility; narrative anchors endure.
Final Note: Balance enthusiasm with caution—focus on cards where scarcity, story, and quirks align, not hype. Stay informed, patient, and prioritize long-term appeal.
