Population suggests a real shot at a grade that clears raw plus fees. Liquidity also concentrates in holders at this level.
Grade yield
51% chance of PSA 9+. Net potential upside: +$77 after grading costs. Worth submitting.
PSA regular · $50 fee · $15 ship · $8 insurance · about 45 days. Shifted by this photo's 7.5 and 1,240 graded copies. Not a PSA yield.
Raw $260 · PSA 10 $980 · PSA 9 $380 · PSA 8 no book
- PSA 1016% · pop 310+$526 after fee
- PSA 935% · pop 640+$5 after fee

Net is the slab price minus a 13% take, ship pad, a $50 fee, and raw. A 10 is not the likely outcome of a 9 photo.

Liquidity 73
51% chance of PSA 9+. Net potential upside: +$77 after grading costs. Worth submitting. No season window on this sport. The call is only the listed pile and the pop. One census snapshot — not a live pop velocity.
Trust shield
Check these tells
A phone photo cannot measure font kerning or a rosette against a reference set. These are the known tells for this issue.
- Yu-Gi-Oh eye hologram must sit in the correct corner with the right foil
- 1st Edition LOB ultras are a different card from later reprints

Title, desk grade, and comps in one block. We do not submit it for you.
Authenticity
Likely authentic
Visual review, not a cert.
Census match on a well-documented issue. Still verify holograms, stamps, and stock in hand — photos miss texture.
- Print and type match known copies of this issue
- Stock and finish consistent with the set
- The OP01-024 special art is the manga-panel Luffy, not the OP01-003 leader. Counterfeits flatten the linework and miss the parallel stamp.

Tells
How fakes fail
Eye foils and texture are the first check.
- Yu-Gi-Oh eye hologram must sit in the correct corner with the right foil
- 1st Edition LOB ultras are a different card from later reprints
- Manga rares have line texture — flattened prints are the common fake
- Set codes (LOB-001, OP01-024) must match the illustration
On this issue: The OP01-024 special art is the manga-panel Luffy, not the OP01-003 leader. Counterfeits flatten the linework and miss the parallel stamp.
Centering & surface
Meter L/R and T/B from this photo, then loupe the print. A hint at what PSA, BGS, or SGC might say — not a cert.
Lot notes
The Romance Dawn Luffy everyone means — OP01-024 special art, ink-panel punch. The leader is a different, cheaper card.
