Market outlook
Stable Outlook 4/10
Base-set uncommon character cards typically settle near bulk-to-low-single-digit raw prices unless they become competitive staples or scarce variants. Zoro’s strong character demand supports steady interest, but the card’s print accessibility limits strong price growth.
Next months. Likely to remain stable with small fluctuations based on grading demand, character popularity, and broader One Piece market activity.
Long term. Over 1-3 years, the base version is likely to see gradual, modest appreciation at best; stronger gains are more plausible for graded high-end copies or limited event/promo variants.

Collector notes
Condition. Check for edge whitening, corner wear, surface scratches, centering issues, and print lines, especially on the full-art foil surface. Because this is an illustrated character card, visible surface scuffs and edge chipping are the most common grading deductions.
Storage. Store in a penny sleeve and rigid top loader or semi-rigid holder, keep away from humidity and direct light, and avoid excessive handling of the foil surface. For long-term preservation, use acid-free storage and maintain stable temperature and low humidity.
Authenticity. Verify the exact card number OP07-113, set branding, yellow card frame, and correct English text layout. Compare the card’s foil pattern, print sharpness, and backside color consistency against known authentic examples; counterfeit cards often show dull foil, blurry text, or incorrect saturation. Promo and event variants exist under the same card number, so confirm whether the card is the base version or a stamped/event variant before buying.
