History

Tony Tony Chopper is a member of the Straw Hat Pirates in the 'One Piece' series, originally a reindeer who consumed a Human-Reindeer Fruit (Cherry Fruit), becoming a human-like creature. He serves as the team's doctor and is known for his childish personality, high intelligence, and mastery of medical science and martial arts[1][4].

This card was first released on December 2, 2022, as part of the ST01 Straw Hat Crew Starter Deck for the One Piece Card Game, with the alternate art version (Alt Treasure Cup) distributed to top 64 competitors and side event winners at the initial championship and some side events[1][4].

Collector notes

Condition. Key flaws include edge wear on the 'Treasure Cup' stamp, creases from the parallel pressing, and gloss scratches on the alternate art. Check for centering issues common in promo cards[1][2].

Storage. Store in a rigid top loader with a soft sleeve, kept in a climate-controlled environment away from direct light to prevent stamp fading and gloss damage[2].

Authenticity. Fakes often lack the 'Treasure Cup' stamp clarity or have incorrect color saturation on the alternate art. Verify the subtty 'Animal / Straw Hat Crew' text and the 'Blocker' ability wording to confirm authenticity[1][3].
