Round1 One Piece Promo Card Registration Opens Tomorrow

Phase 4 registration for Round1’s One Piece collaboration opens August 24 at 10AM PT. It’s first come, first served, with a capped number of eligible entrants, so speed matters just like it did in the first three phases.

If you’re selected, your confirmation email assigns you a specific Round1 location and a purchase window running September 7 through September 13. Everything has to happen in one visit at that exact store. Bring a government issued photo ID that matches your registration and a valid payment method, since Round1 checks both at the counter.

Prices have cooled a lot since Round1’s first giveaway, when packs resold for as much as $300 and full sets of ten hit $3,000, but this is still a lucrative flip. Individual packs are reselling for around $40 right now, with sets of ten going for $400 to $500.

Here’s one thing worth keeping in mind: complete sets with all ten unique cards from the base set have sold for $600 to $700, significantly more than 10 packs of promo cards. Since packs are randomized, hitting a complete set alone isn’t guaranteed.

You might want to consider linking up with friends or other local resellers to try and trade your way to a complete set. This is significantly riskier than just selling the unopened packs for the guaranteed money, but if it pays off you could potentially double your profits.

The $200 deposit required to secure these cards is in no way refundable, but it’s not lost money. You can use your balance to purchase playtime at your local Round1, or sell it to someone else to recoup some or all of your investment.

At the prices we’re seeing, this is still a very lucrative flip. $200 is nothing to sneeze at. Remember that you’ll need to be early tomorrow to secure a slot, so don’t dawdle when the registration window opens.
