About One Piece EB-01 Memorial Collection

One Piece Card Game EB-01 Memorial Collection represents a watershed moment in the franchise’s history—the first Extra Booster product designed to supplement main numbered sets between regular release cycles. Released on June 27, 2024 (just three months after the TCG’s March 2024 launch), this 61-card set introduced a revolutionary product concept: focused theme support for underserved characters and deck archetypes rather than broad storyline coverage. EB-01 spotlights fan-favorites who received limited holographic representation in early sets: Tony Tony Chopper, Brook, Kozuki Oden, and Kyros, while providing comprehensive support for Dressrosa, Baroque Works, and Impel Down strategies. The Japanese version has demonstrated exceptional market performance appreciating from $45-55 launch pricing to current $60-75 wholesale over 19 months—representing 25-40% total appreciation that validates Extra Booster positioning as premium inventory for B2B buyers serving tournament communities and thematic collectors.

Set Highlights & Key Cards

The marquee chase is Tony Tony Chopper Manga Rare (EB01-006), featuring the Straw Hats’ beloved doctor rendered in Eiichiro Oda’s distinctive black-and-white manga panel style. This ultra-premium Secret Rare showcases Chopper in his classic adorable form—the character design that made him one of One Piece’s most merchandisable figures worldwide. The Manga Rare treatment proved especially effective for Chopper given his limited premium card representation in OP-01 through OP-05 numbered sets, creating pent-up collector demand that sustained initial pricing. Chopper’s mechanical design provides genuine competitive utility—the [Blocker] ability plus [DON!!x2] power reduction creates defensive value in Red-attribute strategies, confirming dual-market appeal across competitive and collecting segments.

Chopper’s collector significance transcends pure rarity metrics. As the Straw Hats’ doctor and crew’s emotional heart, Chopper holds foundational narrative importance for fans who’ve followed the series since East Blue. The “crayon-like” art style on the Alternate Art version became instantly iconic within the One Piece TCG community—collectors report this specific artwork photographs exceptionally well for social media sharing, driving organic promotional value. Chopper’s merchandise dominance (plushies, figures, apparel) translates directly to card collecting behavior, with Chopper-focused collectors pursuing complete sets across all rarities creating sustained demand floors independent of competitive meta shifts.

The competitive cornerstone is Mr. 2 Bon Clay Secret Rare (EB01-061), which became format-defining immediately upon release. This Purple Secret Rare’s ability to swap opponent characters with copies creates unprecedented tactical complexity—the card’s reference to Bon Clay’s Impel Down disguise as Nami adds clever thematic flavor while providing tournament-viable effects. Mr. 2 became essential in Red-Purple Trafalgar Law strategies that dominated Japanese tournament meta throughout late 2023 and early 2024, driving sustained player demand for EB-01 boxes as competitive players sought playsets. The card maintains value 19 months post-release specifically because deck archetypes built around Mr. 2’s unique effect continue generating top-cut results, confirming genuine competitive staying power rather than launch hype.

Leader card diversity expands deck-building options significantly. Kozuki Oden Leader (EB01-001) anchors Red-Green Wano strategies, featuring spectacular Alternate Art depicting Oden with the Akazaya Nine retainers. This visual became immediately beloved—collectors pursuing Wano arc thematic sets consider the Oden Alternate Art essential centerpiece cards. Kyros Leader (EB01-059) enables Purple Dressrosa strategies, with Alternate Art showing Kyros alongside daughter Rebecca creating emotional resonance with fans who followed that arc. Hannyabal Leader (EB01-042) provides Yellow Impel Down support, completing the thematic trio.

Super Rare chase cards provide consistent value hits across multiple price tiers. Brook SR (EB01-046) appeals to Straw Hat Crew completionists and Black-attribute deck builders. Shirahoshi SR (EB01-057) targets Fish-Man Island collectors while providing Yellow blocker utility. Cavendish SR (EB01-012) strengthens Dressrosa synergies. Laboon SR (EB01-048) serves Animal tribal strategies. The SR tier maintains healthier value distribution compared to sets concentrating exclusively in ultra-rare chase cards, creating favorable pull economics for retail buyers opening individual boxes.

The thematic focus on underserved characters proved exceptionally successful. Characters like Chopper, Brook, and Oden had received minimal premium treatments in OP-01 through OP-05, creating collector gaps that EB-01 filled strategically. This approach generated strong community response—players appreciated Bandai addressing collector requests for specific character representation rather than purely focusing on storyline progression. The success of EB-01’s thematic model directly influenced future Extra Booster planning, establishing the product line’s identity as collector-focused supplemental releases between main numbered sets.

Market Performance & First Extra Booster Premium

One Piece EB-01 Memorial Collection demonstrates exemplary Extra Booster appreciation—wholesale pricing has grown from $45-55 Jan 2024 launch to current $60-75 over 19 months, representing approximately 25-40% total appreciation. This trajectory validates Extra Booster positioning as premium inventory generating moderate steady gains rather than speculative volatility. The appreciation stems from three fundamental drivers: (1) First Extra Booster historical significance as the product line’s inaugural release, (2) Chopper’s sustained collector demand maintaining value floors, (3) Mr. 2’s competitive viability ensuring tournament player demand persists beyond launch hype.

The $60-75 wholesale range positions EB-01 at proven premium tier relative to launch pricing while remaining accessible compared to ultra-scarce early main sets like OP-02 ($110-125). For context, Extra Boosters typically receive smaller print allocations than numbered main sets—Bandai positions these products as limited supplemental releases rather than mass-market staples. This intentional scarcity supports pricing stability as collector demand encounters supply constraints, creating favorable supply-demand dynamics for B2B inventory holders.

Historical comparison validates EB-01’s performance. The set’s 25-40% appreciation over 19 months tracks favorably against main numbered sets from similar timeframes. OP-04 Kingdoms of Intrigue (September 2024, three months after EB-01) appreciated from $45 to current $80-90 over 15 months (80-100% total), suggesting EB-01’s Extra Booster status created moderate discount versus main sets while still delivering respectable returns. The appreciation indicates healthy organic demand rather than speculative bubble dynamics—steady 15-25% annual appreciation projecting forward suggests EB-01 may reach $75-90 within twenty-four months total (by June 2025), representing 40-60% cumulative gains from current pricing.

The first Extra Booster designation creates permanent historical significance sustaining collector premiums. Just as Pokemon TCG’s early supplemental sets (Gym Heroes, Team Rocket) maintain nostalgic value decades later, EB-01’s position as inaugural Extra Booster ensures sustained interest from completionist collectors pursuing complete One Piece product lineage. This historical anchor provides pricing floor protection—even if future Extra Boosters offer superior gameplay or chase cards, EB-01 retains “first edition” cachet supporting long-term value.

For content creators and pack breakers, Japanese EB-01 offers moderate but consistent engagement. The Chopper Manga Rare provides satisfying chase moments, while Mr. 2 Secret Rare creates competitive player interest. The set’s 19-month post-release timing means immediate viral potential has diminished versus fresh releases, but thematic Chopper/Brook/Oden content targeting character-specific fan communities sustains niche viewership. Content creators report EB-01 opening videos generate steady 50K-100K views—respectable baseline performance positioning it as reliable supplemental content between major release openings.

Tournament organizers report EB-01 functions well as mid-tier prize support. The $60-70 wholesale cost positions it between budget options (newer standard sets at $40-50) and super-premium products (OP-09 at $50-60). The Mr. 2 competitive relevance means players value EB-01 boxes for actual deck construction rather than viewing it purely as outdated product, supporting participant satisfaction. Regional tournament series report using EB-01 for monthly championship prizes where moderate premium justifies special event status without requiring flagship-level budgets.

Authentication & Condition Guarantee

TCG-AKIBA sources all One Piece EB-01 Memorial Collection booster boxes directly from authorized Bandai distributors in Japan, ensuring zero counterfeit risk throughout our supply chain. Each box undergoes comprehensive verification before international dispatch: holographic security seal inspection matching Bandai’s June 2023 production specifications, factory shrink wrap pattern analysis confirming machine-applied rather than hand-resealed characteristics, weight verification against Bandai’s published specifications (Japanese EB-01 boxes: 370-390g including packaging), and manufacturing batch code cross-referencing against Bandai production databases.

Authentication carries particular importance for EB-01 as the first Extra Booster—early product occasionally attracts counterfeiters targeting collector premiums. Our verification team implements enhanced protocols specifically for first-edition products: UV light examination revealing tamper-evident adhesive patterns invisible to naked eye, shrink wrap thickness measurement (authentic Bandai shrink: 60-80 microns, counterfeit typically 40-55 microns), and holographic seal micro-pattern analysis matching authentic Bandai production die characteristics. The Chopper Manga Rare’s collector value creates moderate resealing incentive, so we specifically check weight discrepancies (resealed boxes typically 3-8g lighter) and corner wear patterns inconsistent with factory sealing.

We photograph batch codes upon customer request for orders exceeding $500 wholesale value, providing documentation essential for buyers maintaining strict inventory standards or planning PSA submission pipelines. For EB-01 specifically, batch code documentation proves valuable for collectors pursuing complete first-production-run provenance, as some collectors distinguish first-batch EB-01 from later reprints for premium grading submissions.

Our 99.6% damage-free delivery record extends to One Piece inventory with specialized export packaging: individual box sleeves preventing corner damage during transit, bubble wrap cushioning absorbing shock from international shipping, double-walled cartons with corner reinforcement protecting against handling damage, and desiccant packets controlling humidity during ocean or air freight. DHL/FedEx tracking provides real-time shipment visibility, and every box includes full insurance coverage plus signature confirmation. We guarantee 100% authenticity or full refund plus return shipping costs—a policy honored without exception across 10,000+ international shipments over 10+ years of B2B TCG wholesale operations.
