One Piece College Basketball Tour Continues at Gonzaga Tonight

The promotion kicked off last at Rutgers, and now Washington college basketball fans have the opportunity to join the fun. Tonight is the second stop on One Piece’s college basketball US Tour, with Gonzaga taking on San Francisco at home. Tipoff is at 5 PM Pacific.

This game doesn’t feature a special half time show, but ticketed student section attendees will receive One Piece X Gonzaga t-shirts and all fans can grab a special poster.

But the real money is in those One Piece College Basketball trading cards. Every single person who walks into any of these 15 games is eligible to claim limited-edition Monkey D. Luffy card while supplies last. These cards feature custom artwork for the college basketball collaboration and won’t be available anywhere else.

While the One Piece TCG has been mostly ignored by resellers, there are plenty of collectors buying and selling cards, and it seems like they have a special interest in sports collabs. Their 2025 crossover with the LA Dodgers generated tons of profit for resellers, and it’s looking like this will be a repeat of a very successful playbook.

Reports from attendees to last night’s One Piece game at Rutgers reported an absolute pandemonium around the cards, with attendees doing everything possible to secure as many cards as they could stuff down their shorts.

You need a ticket to any of the 15 participating games across these five schools:

• Gonzaga Bulldogs (Spokane, WA)
• Rutgers Scarlet Knights (Piscataway, NJ)
• St. John’s Red Storm (Queens, NY)
• Illinois Fighting Illini (Champaign, IL)
• Houston Cougars (Houston, TX)

All attendees get a poster featuring their home team’s custom One Piece design plus the promo card. Games with halftime shows offer additional merch opportunities through t-shirt tosses.

These cards are free with game admission, with prices varying wildly depending on the matchup and seats. If you can attend multiple games, you’re looking at potentially $1,200+ in card value from just three visits based on current presale prices.

Priority should go to games near you, but if you’re within driving distance of any participating school, it’s worth the trip. Cards from last nights game are flipping for around $600, with outlier sales for up to $800.

The cards are being given out while supplies last, so prioritize getting one before they run out. The first game tonight will set the market tone for the rest of the tour.

Based on how strong the market for these cards is, we strongly recommend anyone nearby these games to make some space on their calendars. Try to buy or trade for cards off other fans in your section to secure maximum profit.

The One Piece College Basketball collaboration runs for a little over a month through January 23 to March 4. Only home games from the sponsored teams feature giveaways.

This is a full send for resellers in the area. If you’re already a college basketball fan with tickets to any of these games, put effort into securing as much merch from the giveaways as you can. This might be your only opportunity to actually profit from attending a game.

And if you’re not? This is a great time to start rooting for the home team. With the prices we’re seeing from these cards, One Piece’s NCAA collaboration might make you a fan for life. Don’t sleep on this opportunity.
