A CGC-certified tournament prize from the early One Piece TCG circuit made waves during a recent Goldin sale. The serialized Luffy promo was just one of several CGC-certified cards that were offered in the Goldin Weekly TCG Auction that ended on October 18, 2026.
The Monkey D. Luffy, One Piece (2023) Tournament Promos - ST01-001 Serialized graded CGC Pristine 10 realized $61,000, which was the highest price in the sale. It's easy to see why: Not only is this Luffy promo serialized and extremely rare, but it is also one of the finest-graded examples currently on the secondary market. CGC has only certified three examples of the serialized Monkey D. Luffy tournament promo, according to the CGC Cards Population Report, and this is the highest-graded example.
Unlike other serialized One Piece cards, players couldn't pull this Monkey D. Luffy from packs. It was only given away to the top 8 finalists of offline regional tournaments during the 2023 One Piece TCG Championship circuit. Players who participated in these in-store tournaments and made their way to the top 8 received one of these serialized promos and an invitation to the national finals, which were held later that year.
The North American version of the Monkey D. Luffy tournament prize promo has a serialization number of X/700 and is the most abundant version of the card (despite being incredibly scarce on the secondary market). There are also Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese printings of the card, and each of them have their own serializations, ranging from X/248 to as low as X/77! If you find one of these rare promos, make sure to hold onto it — it's a treasure that even the Pirate King would grade and keep in his collection.
