ヤマト (Yamato)

Market outlook

Stable Outlook 7/10

The card has enduring character demand and steady collector interest, but it is not so scarce that prices typically spike without a new catalyst. Graded 10s and special variants are more likely to outperform raw copies.

Next months. Likely to remain range-bound with occasional spikes for graded 10 and limited parallel/event versions.

Long term. Likely gradual appreciation if One Piece card demand stays strong, especially for high-grade and special-presentation copies.

History

ヤマト is a major character from Eiichiro Oda's One Piece, introduced as the self-proclaimed son of Kaido and a devoted admirer of Kozuki Oden. In the story, Yamato is the heir to Oni heritage and a symbolically important figure in the Wano Country arc, embodying rebellion against Kaido's rule and the desire to inherit Oden's will. In the trading card game, Yamato is treated as a high-profile character with repeated premium print treatments because of strong fan recognition and competitive appeal.[4][5]

This card was first released in Japanese in Booster Pack Kingdoms of Intrigue (OP-04) in 2023 as OP04-112. The listing and card databases identify OP04-112 as the Kingdoms of Intrigue Yamato card, with later marketplace references showing its availability as a sought-after pull and parallel/variant print in subsequent product listings.[4][5][6]

• OP04-112 is associated with Yamato and originates from the Kingdoms of Intrigue set.[4][5]
• The card is listed as a Secret Rare in marketplace references, indicating a premium chase version rather than a low-rarity pull.[1][6]
• Yamato has additional special versions tied to events or premium products, including a Flagship Battle 2024 July Best 8 commemorative variant noted by a major store buylist, which suggests sustained collector interest beyond the base printing.[3]

Collector notes

Condition. Check for edge whitening, corner wear, surface scratches, holo scuffing, print lines, centering issues, and foil loss; Japanese full-art/parallel-style cards often show subtle manufacturing marks that can still affect grade. Marketplace and retailer condition notes specifically mention possible initial production scratches, whitening, scuffs, foil gaps, and alignment shifts.[2]

Storage. Store the card immediately in a soft inner sleeve and rigid top loader or semi-rigid holder, keep it away from humidity and direct light, and avoid repeated handling of the full-art surface. For graded or high-value copies, use a team bag or sealed case to reduce dust and edge wear.

Authenticity. Verify the exact card number OP04-112, Japanese text quality, print sharpness, foil pattern consistency, and correct set symbols. Counterfeits often show blurry text, incorrect gloss, poor color balance, or inconsistent borders; because this card has parallel and premium variants, compare against a known authentic reference image and confirm the rarity line and collector numbering match the expected version.[1][6][8]
