One Piece Card Rarities Explained: Parallel, Manga, SP & Treasure Rare
OP Compare · 3 October 2026 · 8 min read · Prices updated 6 Oct 2026 · How we research this
The short version
- Rarity (C, UC, R, SR, SEC, L) is printed on the card; printing (standard, Parallel, Manga, SP, Treasure Rare) is which version of the card it is — and printing drives price far more.
- The median standard print from a booster set is worth US$0.12; the median Manga printing US$1,112.
- Every printing has its own page on OP Compare, so you always compare like with like.
Two cards with the same name and number can differ in price by a factor of a hundred or more. The One Piece Card Game has two ideas that are easy to mix up: a card's rarity, printed on it, and its printing — standard, Parallel, Manga, SP, Treasure Rare or a special foil. This guide explains both, with the median price of each from OP Compare's own data.
The rarities: C, UC, R, SR, SEC and L
- Common (C), Uncommon (UC) and Rare (R) — the bulk of every booster set.
- Super Rare (SR) — the set's headline characters and strongest cards, foil.
- Secret Rare (SEC) — a set's top regular rarity, usually just a handful per set.
- Leader (L) — the card a deck is built around. It starts in play, sets the deck's colours and has a Life value instead of a cost.
- Promo (PR) and DON!! — promotional cards from events and products, and the resource cards every deck uses.
Median TCGplayer market price of the standard print, by rarity, across every booster, extra booster and premium booster set:
| Rarity | Printings | Median (US$) |
|---|---|---|
| Leader (L) | 123 | US$0.19 |
| Common (C) | 911 | US$0.07 |
| Uncommon (UC) | 513 | US$0.11 |
| Rare (R) | 558 | US$0.21 |
| Super Rare (SR) | 223 | US$0.86 |
| Secret Rare (SEC) | 41 | US$6.61 |
| Treasure Rare (TR) | 0 | — |
The printings: Parallel, Manga, SP and Treasure Rare
- Standard — the regular print of a card.
- Parallel / alternate art — the same card with new artwork, usually foil and pulled far less often than the standard print. TCGplayer labels these “Parallel”, “Alternate Art” or “Full Art”.
- Manga — alternate art taken from the manga's own panels, usually the scarcest pull in a set.
- SP (special) — cards from earlier sets reprinted with new art and inserted into later products.
- Treasure Rare (TR) — a special rarity in recent sets, among the scarcest pulls.
- Special foils and reprints — finishes such as Jolly Roger or Pirate foil, and reprints in the Premium Booster “The Best” sets.

Event stamps and promos
Pre-Release, Release Event and Anniversary Tournament cards reuse a set's card numbers with an event stamp, and tournament prize cards add placings such as Winner or Finalist. OP Compare treats each as its own printing — a store listing is matched to a stamped print only when its title names the stamp. See every promo printing.

Frequently asked questions
What does SEC mean on a One Piece card?
SEC is Secret Rare, the rarest regular rarity in a booster set, usually one or two a box. The Parallel, Manga and SP printings of a card are separate products with their own prices, often far above the standard print.
What is a Parallel in the One Piece Card Game?
A Parallel (or alternate art) is the same card with new art, usually foil and pulled much less often than the standard print. It plays identically and is priced as its own product.
Are SP and Manga cards worth more than the standard card?
Usually, because they are scarcer and collected for their art, but the gap varies card by card. Each card page shows the ratio between its printings from live TCGplayer prices; the price guide lists them all.
What is a Treasure Rare?
Treasure Rare (TR) is a special rarity introduced in recent sets, among the hardest pulls in a box. Like other special printings it has its own TCGplayer product and price.
Does a higher rarity mean a card is better to play?
No. Rarity sets how often a card is pulled, not how good it is. Plenty of lower-rarity cards trade above higher ones because demand follows what players use.
