Four cards from the same One Piece 4th-anniversary Four Emperors promo pack — Shanks, Buggy, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom) — each posted 10 to 28 ungraded sales in Japan’s market over the past 30 days. This data only covers the past 30 days’ sale count, with no historical comparison, so this post won’t discuss price direction at all — only which card buyers are picking up the most right now, and why. At the end, the original OP01 Luffy [OP01-024] appears purely as a comparison benchmark — he isn’t part of this promo pack; he’s only there to show whether these 4 cards’ sale count is actually a lot.
TL;DR
- Four cards from One Piece TCG’s 4th-anniversary Four Emperors promo pack each posted 10 to 28 ungraded sales in Japan’s market over the past 30 days, all from the same pack.
- #1 Shanks [OP14-027] cleared 28 sales — nearly two and a half times #2 Buggy’s [OP12-049] 11 — despite Shanks being only R-rarity, not SR.
- Kaido [EB04-030] and Charlotte Linlin [ST20-005] tied for the fewest at 10 sales each, even though Linlin is the highest-rarity SR of the four.
What does this sales ranking actually show?
This ranking is built on the past 30 days’ sale count, not price. This data only covers that window, with no historical comparison, so there’s no way to say whether prices moved — this post only covers which card is selling the most right now, and why. The #1 card, Shanks, is only R-rarity yet outsold the SR-rarity Charlotte Linlin — proof that rarity alone doesn’t explain sale count. A character’s story relevance and a set’s own collect-the-set pull matter just as much.
This data covers actual Japanese-market sale records for raw (ungraded) single cards; self-trades by B4U/BSO are excluded. All 4 promo cards belong to the 4th-Anniversary Four Emperors Treasure Hunt promo pack. Luffy [OP01-024] comes from the original OP-01 “Romance Dawn” booster set instead — a different pack — and appears here for comparison only, not counted in the ranking.

#1
Shanks Shanks R [OP14-027]
Shanks
R · #027
the 4th-Anniversary Four Emperors Treasure Hunt promo pack
30-Day Sales (Raw/Ungraded)
28 sales
Search & Buy Now ›Why This Sale Count
Shanks posted 28 ungraded sales over the past 30 days — the highest of the four promo cards, nearly two and a half times #2 Buggy’s 11. What stands out is that Shanks is only an R-rarity card, not an SR and not a leader card, so rarity alone doesn’t explain the volume. Shanks has long been a central, talked-about character among the Four Emperors, and an R card’s low entry price means both competitive players and collectors can pick it up easily, which is what lets sale count build up this fast.

Buggy Buggy UC [OP12-049]

UC · #049

30-Day Sales (Raw/Ungraded)
11 sales
Search & Buy Now ›Why This Sale Count
Buggy posted 11 sales over the past 30 days — second among the four promo cards, despite being the lowest rarity of the four at UC. A UC promo usually stops getting chased once a pack is opened, but Buggy’s volume trails only Shanks, likely because of where the character now sits in the story: Buggy was recently elevated from comic relief to an actual Emperor, and that gap between his old and new status makes him both a meme and a genuine collector’s pick. A UC’s low unit price also means he’s often the easiest last piece to grab when completing a full Four Emperors set — so this count reflects set-completion buying more than a single favourite card.

#3
Kaido Kaido R [EB04-030]
Kaido
R · #030
the 4th-Anniversary Four Emperors Treasure Hunt promo pack
30-Day Sales (Raw/Ungraded)
10 sales
Search & Buy Now ›Why This Sale Count
Kaido posted 10 sales over the past 30 days — not a standout figure among the four, but his card number is worth flagging: EB is a supplementary expansion series with far less exposure than the mainline OP series, and cards under it are easy to overlook. That an EB-numbered card most buyers wouldn’t think to search for still cleared 10 sales suggests buyers are chasing the full Four Emperors set, not one favourite card. Kaido is the most visually battle-driven of the Four Emperors, and a buyer building a full Four Emperors theme set is unlikely to skip him.

Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom) Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom) SR [ST20-005]
Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom)
SR · #005

30-Day Sales (Raw/Ungraded)
10 sales
Search & Buy Now ›Why This Sale Count
Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom) posted 10 sales over the past 30 days, tied with Kaido for the lowest of the four, despite being the highest rarity, SR. Her card number is also easy to misread: an ST prefix usually signals a starter-deck card, but this one is actually from the Four Emperors promo pack — a different circulation pattern from an ordinary ST card entirely, and a number-only search can easily filter it out. Confirm by character name and set, not the number alone, before buying. For a buyer completing a full Four Emperors set, the SR is usually the last piece picked up, and her sales here show someone has already closed out that set.

Luffy is not part of the Four Emperors promo pack — this print comes from the original OP-01 “Romance Dawn” booster set, and appears here purely as a comparison point, not counted in the ranking above. He posted 13 sales over the past 30 days, sitting exactly between the leader Shanks’ 28 and the other three promo cards’ 10 to 11. Used as a yardstick, he shows that the four Four Emperors promo cards’ combined pull is roughly the same order of magnitude as one mainline classic SR from the same period — not obscure enough to go unnoticed, but not a runaway either.
At a glance: how this list is built
FAQ
Why does R-rarity Shanks outsell SR-rarity Charlotte Linlin?
Because this ranking is by sale count, not rarity or price. Shanks [OP14-027] is only R-rarity, but the character carries strong story relevance, and an R card’s low entry price makes it easy for both competitive players and collectors to pick up. Charlotte Linlin [ST20-005] is SR, but she’s typically the last piece a set-completing buyer picks up, so her sales build up more slowly.
Kaido’s [EB04-030] card number looks different from the other 3 — does that mean he isn’t part of the same promo pack?
No. EB is a supplementary expansion numbering series that runs alongside the mainline OP series — it just gets far less exposure and is easy to overlook. This Kaido card belongs to the same 4th-Anniversary Four Emperors Treasure Hunt promo pack as the other 3.
Charlotte Linlin’s [ST20-005] number starts with ST — does that mean she’s a starter-deck card?
No. An ST prefix usually signals a starter-deck card, but this particular card is actually from the Four Emperors promo pack — a different circulation pattern from an ordinary ST card entirely. A number-only search can filter it out; confirm by character name and set instead.
