Market outlook
Stable Outlook 7/10
The ordinary OP17-062 copy is inexpensive and appears to have substantial supply, limiting near-term appreciation. Premium parallels show stronger demand and price separation, but their markets are volatile and highly dependent on condition, grading, and variant identification.
Next months. Over the next 3-6 months, the standard Japanese copy is likely to remain stable or fluctuate modestly around a low price. Premium parallels may experience greater volatility, with high-grade copies potentially strengthening if supply tightens.
Long term. Over 1-3 years, the standard copy has modest appreciation potential but is unlikely to behave like a scarce chase card. The Baki and manga variants have stronger long-term upside because of scarcity, premium artwork, and Kaido's character popularity, although they remain substantially riskier and more price-sensitive.
History
Kaido is a major antagonist in Eiichiro Oda's One Piece, known as one of the Four Emperors and the former governor-general of the Animal Kingdom Pirates. He is famed as the 'Strongest Creature' and ruled Wano through military force, making him one of the series' most significant villains. This card depicts Kaido as a purple Character with the Animal Kingdom Pirates and Four Emperors traits, 10 cost, 12,000 power, Strike attribute, and Blocker ability.
The verified card data identifies OP17-062 as a Super Rare from The World's Strongest Warriors (OP17), with English and Japanese versions. The supplied set description calls it the Japanese 2nd Anniversary Set, but available database results associate the card number with OP17; the exact Japanese release date is not confirmed by the available evidence.
- The card has 10 cost and 12,000 power.
- Its effect can recover active DON!! resources when a DON!! card is returned to the DON!! deck, and it has Blocker.
- The card is illustrated by Hayaken-sarena.
- OP17-062 has multiple parallel versions, including alternate-art, Baki artwork, and manga/comic artwork.
- The standard version has generally low market value, while the manga and premium alternate versions command substantially higher prices.
Collector notes
Condition. Inspect centering, corners, edge whitening, surface scratches, dents, print lines, foil defects, and alignment of the border. Japanese foil cards can show factory roller lines, scratches, edge chipping, and corner whitening. For premium parallels, examine the textured or foil pattern for scuffing and check that the card has not been trimmed, recolored, or cleaned.
Storage. Use a soft inner sleeve followed by a rigid semi-rigid holder or a properly sized top loader. Store vertically in a cool, dry, dark environment away from sunlight, heat, humidity, and pressure. Avoid PVC sleeves and excessive handling of the foil surface.
Authenticity. Compare the card with verified scans for typography, card number, set marking, copyright line, foil pattern, border dimensions, and print sharpness. Counterfeits may show incorrect gloss, blurry text, inaccurate colors, weak foil texture, or abnormal card thickness. Purchase high-value parallels from established sellers and use professional grading or authentication for expensive copies. Confirm the exact variant because OP17-062 has standard, alternate-art, Baki/super-alternate, and manga versions.
