One Piece OP-03 Pillars of Strength: Set Overview
Released in 2023, Pillars of Strength is the third main booster set in the English One Piece Card Game. The set draws heavily from the East Blue, Baroque Works, and Water Seven story arcs, introducing leaders and battle cards tied to factions like Whitebeard Pirates, CP9, and the Straw Hats. OP-03 expanded the card pool significantly and introduced new mechanics that pushed several existing deck archetypes forward.
The set is particularly notable for its Special Art (SP) variants, its pre-release exclusives, and a handful of Leader and Character cards that landed immediately in competitive play. Buggy (OP03-008), Nami (OP03-040), and Kaya (OP03-044) are among the cards that drew the most collector and grader attention after the initial release window.

Notable Inserts, Parallels, and Special Arts
The standout chase variant in OP-03 is the Izo [SP] (OP03-003), the set's Special Art version. At $42.08 raw and $115.00 at PSA 10, it commands a significant premium over its standard counterpart, which sits at just $0.42 raw. SP cards in the One Piece Card Game are short-printed alternate art versions of select characters, and Izo's SP is among the harder pulls in this set.
Pre-release versions also carry collector premiums. The Top Knot Pre-Release (OP03-074) trades at $20.00 raw while the standard print sits at $0.29. Pre-release stamped cards are event-exclusive printings distributed before the official launch date, making condition-graded copies particularly scarce since many were played rather than preserved. The Pillars of Strength Pre-Release Pack itself sells for $58.42 sealed, appealing to sealed product collectors.
Sogeking (OP03-122) deserves a specific callout. The card number falls outside the base set range, which typically signals a Secret Rare or similarly short-printed slot. At $15.90 raw and $150.00 at PSA 10, the graded-to-raw premium ratio is one of the largest in the set, reflecting both scarcity and demand from fans of the Water Seven arc.
Collecting Tips for OP-03 Pillars of Strength
- Cards like Kaya (OP03-044) show an unusual pricing pattern: the raw price ($23.95) is higher than the PSA 9 value ($10.91). This often indicates that recent raw sales included condition-sensitive copies that graders are downgrading. If you plan to submit Kaya for grading, inspect corners and surface carefully before paying near-raw prices.
- Grading returns on Buggy (OP03-008) are among the strongest in the set. A PSA 10 at $271.87 against a $0.25 raw represents one of the highest multipliers here, making clean raw copies worth submitting if you can source them cheaply.
- Several CP9-themed cards (Kaku, Kalifa, Jabra, Blueno, Vergo) have low raw prices but scattered PSA 10 data points in the $20 to $35 range. These are low-risk grading targets if you pull clean copies from packs.
- The Izo [SP] raw market is active enough to suggest real demand, but PSA 10 population data for this card is limited. Early graded copies have more upside, though submission costs relative to potential returns should be factored in carefully.
- Pre-release stamped cards rarely surface in high grade. If you have event-stamped copies from the OP-03 pre-release, they are worth preserving in sleeves regardless of whether you plan to submit them.
Set Analysis
OP-03 Pillars of Strength holds a stronger position in the graded market than its raw prices alone suggest. The bulk of the set's commons and uncommons trade below $1.00 raw, but the graded market for the top 5 to 6 cards tells a different story. Buggy (OP03-008) at $271.87 PSA 10, Kaya (OP03-044) at $181.56 PSA 10, and Sogeking (OP03-122) at $150.00 PSA 10 indicate that high-grade copies of the right cards are holding real value well into the set's life cycle. The set is not in freefall, but it is not in a period of rapid appreciation either. Prices appear to have found a stable floor for the top cards, with Buggy and Nami (OP03-040) showing the most consistent graded sale activity.
The best targets to chase from a grading investment standpoint are Buggy (OP03-008
