New to the One Piece Card Game, or confused by all the rarities? This quick guide explains what each rarity means, how often you can expect to pull them, and which cards are truly hard to get.
1. How to Check Rarity on a Card
Look at the bottom-right corner, next to the set number. You’ll see one of these:
C – Common
UC – Uncommon
R – Rare
L – Leader
SR – Super Rare
SEC – Secret Rare
SP – Special Rare
TR – Treasure Rare
P – Promo
Alternate Arts and Manga Rares use the same symbol as the original card, but with special artwork.
2. Basic Rarities (You’ll See These All the Time)
Common (C) & Uncommon (UC)
What they are: Bulk of every pack, core deck cards.
Look: No foil, white borders, regular text box.
Pull rate: Many per pack.
Tip: Newer sets have great art even on commons.
Rare (R)
Look: Foil card with “R” symbol.
Pull rate:
At least 1 Rare in every pack (English often 2 if no higher rarity).
Price: Usually very cheap (often under $1).
Leader (L)
Role: The card your deck is built around.
Look:
Red back instead of blue.
Colored front background showing which colors you can play (6 colors total)
Pull rate: Around 1 Leader every 2 packs.
Price: Generally low in base form.
3. Higher Rarities (Chase Cards in Booster Boxes)
Super Rare (SR)
Look: Foil, map-style border, art breaking the frame, text over the art.
Pull rate: About 7 SRs per 24-pack box (~1 every 3–4 packs).
Price: A few dollars to around $20 depending on playability and character.
Secret Rare (SEC)
Look: Gold borders, textured and embossed.
Pull rate: Around 1 SEC every 3 boxes (~1 per 36 packs).
Price: Often $5–$15+ for base art.
4. Alternate Arts & Manga Rares
Alternate Arts (AA)
What they are: Fancy versions of existing cards.
Look:
Full art, special textures, embossing.
From OP-04 onward, a small star above the rarity icon since OP-04.
Pull rate: About 2 per box (~1 every 12 packs).
Price: Ranges from affordable to several hundred dollars for popular/meta cards.
Manga Rares
What they are: Usually the top chase card of a set.
Look: Artwork taken directly from the One Piece manga, with panels in the background.
Pull rate: Around 1 every 2–4 cases (roughly 576–1,152 packs).
Price: Often hundreds to thousands of dollars.
5. Special & Language-Exclusive Rarities
Special Rare (SP)
What they are: Alternate-art versions of older cards/starter cards.
Look: “SP” next to the set number, very unique art styles.
Pull rate: About 1–2 per 12-box case (~1 every 160 packs).
Price: Commonly $100+ due to rarity.
Treasure Rare (TR)
Languages: English, French, and Chinese only.
What they are: Language-exclusive alternate versions of older cards.
Pull rate: Roughly 1 per case, sometimes even rarer.
Status: Second only to Manga Rares in rarity for regular sets.
6. Promo Cards & DON!! Cards
Promo (P)
Source: Events, promos, magazines, special sets.
Look: Can mimic any rarity style, marked with “P”.
Price: From bulk to very expensive, depending on how limited they are.
DON!! Cards
Use: Main resource cards for playing the game.
Standard DON!!: Green/white background.
Alt-Art DON!!:
Manga panel + foil; usually 1 per box in older sets.
Golden DON!!:
Special gold versions, usually around 2 per 12-box case in newer sets.
7. Unique Rarities Cards
Gold Signature
There is only one Gold Signature card so far, from OP-05, featuring a gold-stamped signature from Eiichiro Oda, the creator and manga artist of One Piece. This Monkey.D.Luffy 012 Alternate Art Gold-Stamped Signature ST01-012 Awakening is a highly sought-after card that has recently sold for around $9,000, driven by its extremely low estimated pull rate of about 0.12%.
Gold Manga Rare
Another one-off rarity here with the 2024 One Piece OP09-118 - Gol D. Roger # 118 Gold Manga, from hard to find raw cards at $2000, up to an isolated private sale of a BGS10 pristine sold for $45,000 in January on eBay - the gold aspect of it is another uniqueness collectors are craving for. The card’s pull rate ranks among the hardest hits in the entire One Piece TCG, with an average of just 0.07%.
Gold & Silver SP
There are four sets of Gold and Silver variants to chase: OP11 (Monkey D. Luffy), OP12 (Marshall D. Teach), OP13 (Shanks), and OP14 (Buggy). The average pull rate is estimated at 0.09% (about 1 card in 4 booster cases), making these grails the second hardest finds on this list.
Red Manga Rare
Keeping the best for last, One Piece TCG released the Red Manga (an alternate color of the existing Manga Rare) for OP13, with the lowest pull rate ever — an average of 0.07%.
Monkey D. Luffy, Sabo, and Portgas D. Ace are the three characters available as Red Manga Rares.
7. God Packs
In the One Piece TCG, "God Packs" are official special booster packs where standard cards are replaced entirely by high-rarity hits. Because Bandai does not publish official rates, pull rates are based on community data and vary significantly by set type. However, since today’s list is about pull rates from pack openings, we thought this was a relevant estimate to share for those chasing the biggest thrill possible when ripping a One Piece pack.
Estimated Pull Rates by Set
Set Name | Pack Type | Estimated Pull Rate |
PRB-01 (The Best) | Manga God Pack (10 Manga Rares) | ~1 in 10–20 Cases (120–240 boxes) |
PRB-02 (The Best Vol. 2) | Gold Don!! Pack (10 Gold Don cards) | ~1 in 15–20 Cases |
EB-03 (Heroines Edition) | Special Rare (SP) Pack (6 Female SPs) | ~1 in 15 Cases (~180 boxes) |
OP-13 (Carrying on His Will) | Demon Pack (Five Elders + Imu) | ~1 in 10–20 Cases |

Should You Chase High-Rarity Cards Through Packs?
Given how low the pull rates are for SPs, Manga Rares, Treasure Rares, and unique ultra-chase cards, opening sealed product purely to hit those cards is usually very inefficient and expensive.
For most players and collectors:
Players are often better off buying singles for deck building.
Collectors can target specific Alternate Arts, Manga Rares, or SPs on the secondary market rather than gambling on cases.
Sealed opening is best treated as entertainment first, value-chasing second.
