Edward Newgate

Market outlook

Stable Outlook 7/10

Prices appear supported by character popularity and premium presentation, but starter-deck reprints, slab population growth, and wider availability typically keep growth measured rather than explosive.[2][4]

Next months. Likely to trade in a relatively tight range unless a major One Piece hype wave or competitive deck breakthrough increases demand.

Long term. Over 1-3 years, high-grade and well-centered copies should remain desirable, with gradual appreciation more likely than sharp spikes unless supply tightens or the card becomes a staple collectible.

History

Edward Newgate, better known as Whitebeard, is one of the most important characters in One Piece: the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, and a legendary figure in the New World. He is depicted as one of the strongest pirates of his era and a central symbol of family, loyalty, and overwhelming power in the series. In the One Piece Card Game, this card represents his Red starter-deck leader support character and is tied thematically to the Whitebeard Pirates strategy.[3][5][6]

This card was first released in English in the One Piece Card Game Starter Deck -Red Edward.Newgate- [ST-15], which is the 2024 Starter Deck 15 product line.[2][3]

• ST15-002 is an SR Character card from Starter Deck 15 and features Edward.Newgate with 8000 power and the Whitebeard Pirates/Four Emperors traits.[3][5][6]
• The card’s effect supports aggressive Whitebeard Pirates builds by allowing a DON!! boost on play and a conditional K.O. effect by resting the character.[3][5][6]
• Official card listing shows the card as part of the ST-15 Red Edward.Newgate starter deck lineup, confirming the starter-deck origin rather than a standalone booster release.[3]

Collector notes

Condition. Check for edge whitening, corner dings, surface scuffs from starter-deck handling, and print-line/foil wear if the full-art version has a textured or reflective finish. Starter deck cards are often pulled from sealed decks rather than packs, so centering and factory handling marks can matter more than with mass-booster singles.[3][5][6]

Storage. Use a penny sleeve and rigid top loader or card saver immediately, especially for full-art foiled copies. Store in a cool, dry environment away from UV light, and avoid repeated handling because starter-deck foils can show micro-scratching and edge wear quickly.

Authenticity. Verify the card number ST15-002, the official English text, and the expected Red starter-deck layout. Authentic cards should match official card database text and stat line; suspicious examples often show blurry text, incorrect font spacing, off-color red tones, or foil patterns inconsistent with Bandai production.[3][5][6]
