GRADING EXPERT'S TAKE
Trading Card Market Analyst
Identification is high due to clear visibility of the card number, rarity symbol, and distinct alternate artwork which is well-documented in the Bandai official card list.
KEY EVIDENCE

- 2Verification of 'Parallel' (Alt-Art) rarity via the unique borderless etched illustration
- 3Holographic 'Green' attribute and 7000 Power stats match official database entries
- 4Back of card shows standard 2022-current Bandai One Piece layout
- 5Texture etching visible in high-resolution zoom confirms it is not a flat-print counterfeit
WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY
- →Remove from sleeve for a high-resolution surface scan to check for micro-scratches
- →Measure left-to-right centering on the card back with a digital caliper
- →Examine edges under 10x magnification for any signs of 'chipping' or factory burrs
CONDITION & GRADE
Grading breakdown
Near-mint to Mint factory condition. Points deducted only for a minor top-heavy centering bias visible on the front border.
Condition
The card exhibits sharp corners and clean edges through the poly-sleeve. Top-to-bottom centering appears approximately 55/45, while left-to-right centering is visually balanced. No visible print lines or surface dimpling are evident under current lighting.
TRADING CARD MARKET VALUE
Updated: May 11, 2026
Who buys this
Competitive One Piece TCG players looking to 'max rarity' their Navy decks and character collectors focused on the Punk Hazard arc.
What increases value
- •The 'waifu' appeal of the female Smoker design often commands a premium in character-driven markets
- •Current meta-relevance of Green Navy Leaders like Perona or Smoker
What lowers value
- •Future reprints in 'Best Selection' or promotional packs
- •Shifts in game balance that make Green-color Navy decks less competitive
What makes top-tier examples
- •Perfect 50/50 centering on both front and back
- •Absence of 'white dots' or chipping on the blue back borders
Grade & condition
Surface scratches on the holographic foil and corner whitening are the primary determinants of grade for this card stock.
