One Piece card rarity: where to find it

One Piece Card Game rarity is a short code printed in the bottom right corner of the card, right after the card number, for example OP01-120 SEC. The base codes are C (Common), UC (Uncommon), R (Rare), SR (Super Rare), SEC (Secret Rare) and L (Leader). Promo cards use P, and special versions add an SP or TR tag in front of the card number.

Next to the code is a small circled number, the block number. It shows which group of sets the card belongs to and decides whether it is legal in Standard tournaments. Bandai's comprehensive rules state that rarity does not affect gameplay, so an alt art or SP version plays exactly like the regular card. What changes is how scarce it is and what collectors pay for it.

One Piece card rarity list

A typical OP booster set since OP-04 has 6 different Leaders, 45 Commons, 30 Uncommons, 26 Rares, 10 Super Rares and 2 Secret Rares, plus a few SP cards (6 in most sets, up to 10), usually one DON!! card design and, in most English sets since OP-06, one Treasure Rare. Extra Boosters (EB) skip Uncommons. Bandai's product pages list how many card types each rarity has, not how often they turn up in packs.

C (Common): The most numerous rarity: 45 different Commons in a standard booster set.
UC (Uncommon): 30 different cards in a standard booster set. Extra Boosters do not use this rarity.
R (Rare): 26 different cards in a standard booster set.
SR (Super Rare): 10 different cards in a standard booster set. Many SRs also get alt-art versions, and some get manga versions.
SEC (Secret Rare): Usually 2 different cards per booster set, numbered at the end of the set, such as OP01-120 and OP01-121.
L (Leader): The card that sets your deck colors. Recent booster sets have 6, each with an alt-art version.
SP (Special card): A special design of an existing card, most often one from an earlier set. It keeps its original number and rarity code, with an SP tag printed next to the card number. Some SP cards use a WANTED poster design.
TR (Treasure Rare): One per set: a premium version of an existing card, marked with a TR tag before the card number while the original rarity code stays. Most English boosters since OP-06 include one; Japanese boosters only since OP-16.
P (Promo): Promotional cards with their own numbers, P-001 onward, from events and products such as Premium Boosters. Promo versions of existing cards keep the original number.
DON!! card: Listed with the rarities on product pages, but DON!! cards carry no card number or rarity code.

Alternate art (parallel) cards

An alternate art card, called Alt-Art by Bandai and a parallel by many collectors, has the same card number and the same rarity code as the regular card but a different design. Bandai describes them as cards where the illustration covers the whole card, cards with a shiny finish, or cards with a textured surface.

To tell an alt art from the regular print, look just above the rarity code: on most alt arts printed since OP-04 there is a small star. Cards from OP-01 to OP-03 do not have it, so compare the artwork and finish with the regular version instead. OP-17 added Pirate Crew alt arts for the Straw Hat Crew and the Rocks Pirates.

Because alt arts share the card number, they count toward the same 4-copy deck limit. For collectors they are separate printings with separate prices, and an alt art often sells for much more than the regular card. Scanning a card with CardFrame identifies the exact printing and shows the price for that version.

One Piece manga cards (Super Alt-Art)

A One Piece manga card, often called a manga rare, is what Bandai now calls a Super Alt-Art: an alt art with the entire card covered in designs from the ONE PIECE manga. Older English product pages and the Japanese site call it a Super Parallel. It is not a separate rarity code. The card keeps its normal code, usually SEC or SR.

Recent booster sets have one to four Super Alt-Arts, such as the Three Admirals in OP-16, and they are usually among the most valuable cards in a set. OP-13 added red versions of its Luffy, Ace and Sabo Super Alt-Arts for the third anniversary.

Manga art also shows up on Leaders. Alt-art Leaders in sets such as OP-05 and OP-09 use original manga art, and OP-17 includes a Super Leader Alt-Art of Luffy (OP17-079), a premium Leader version with manga art. Since April 2026, Bandai prints an X in the block circle on newly released Super Alt-Arts and the cards that share their number, which keeps them legal in Standard.

One Piece DON!! cards and their special versions

DON!! cards are the game's resource cards, and every player uses a separate 10-card DON!! deck. The front reads DON!! CARD and Your Turn +1000, because each DON!! given to a Leader or Character adds 1000 power during your turn. There is no card number or rarity code, so you identify a DON!! card by its artwork and the product it came from.

Most booster sets since OP-04 list one DON!! design (OP-17 has four). Special versions add foil or gold: PRB-01 had 30 DON!! designs including gold-foiled ones, PRB-02 added Alt-Art and gold-framed Super Alt-Art DON!! cards, and EB-03 included alt-art DON!! cards. Collectors call the gold ones gold DON!!. Bandai's tournament rules allow officially distributed DON!! cards in any language.

How One Piece card numbers work

A card number is a set code, a hyphen and a three-digit position: OP01-001 is the first card of booster pack OP-01. Japanese and English cards use the same numbers, and every alt art, SP and TR version keeps the number of the card it is based on.

In English, OP-14 and OP-15 were released as OP14-EB04 and OP15-EB04, so those packs also contain cards numbered EB04. In Japan, EB-04 was a separate Extra Booster.

The circled block number groups booster packs in fours: OP-01 to OP-04 are block 1, OP-05 to OP-08 are block 2, and so on. From April 2026 to March 2027, Standard tournaments allow blocks 2 to 5.

OP: Booster packs, from OP-01 Romance Dawn to OP-17, with OP-18 due in November 2026.
ST: Starter decks, including Ultra Decks and Starter Deck EX products.
EB: Extra Boosters, smaller themed sets without Uncommons.
PRB: Premium Boosters: popular past cards, many with new alt-art designs, plus new cards numbered PRB01-001 and so on.
P: Promotional cards, numbered P-001 onward, with no set code.
