A hit post on r/ONEPIECETCG put EB05 back in front of collectors. The box math, the top five cards and an unproven long-term score say more.
A sealed EB05 box is asking $280.74 against a $119.76 MSRP. That is 2.3 times sticker, or $11.70 per pack, on a set that has been in the wild for zero full months. The trigger was mundane: a collector posted an EB05 pull to r/ONEPIECETCG and the thread did what those threads do. The interesting part is what the tape underneath looks like.

EB05 and the number 4.01
That 4.01 is the set's EV ratio, and it is the single strangest figure on the board right now. Every other set in our box EV leaderboard sits below 1: OP11 at 0.77, OP14 at 0.74, OP15 at 0.70, PRB02 at 0.69. EB05 is the outlier by a factor of five.
Annualized return data does not exist yet. With months since release at 0, there is no CAGR to quote, no three month figure, no move from MSRP. The chart above covers a card, not a track record.
Inside the box
Rip EV is $1,125 against a $280.74 box. Normally that comparison runs the other way: boxes are negative EV by design, the distributor takes a cut, and a ratio under 1 is the healthy, boring default. A ratio of 4.01 almost always means thin early print data and chase prices that have not yet met real supply.
Five cards, all four figures, none with a seven day or thirty day move attached. That absence is the story. These are listing-level prices on a set too young to have a trade history, which is exactly the condition that inflates an EV calculation.
The graded side
PSA population total for EB05: 0. No gem rate, no graded premium multiple, no estimated boxes opened. Nothing has come back from grading because nothing has had time to.
For context on how that normally resolves, the destruction tracker is where sealed supply and opened supply eventually reconcile. EB05 has no entries on either side of that ledger yet.
Long-term read
Our Long-Term Score for EB05 is 2 out of 10, labelled Unproven. That is not a judgment on the cards. It is a scoring model that leans on price history, grading population and time since release, and EB05 supplies none of the three.
The cards above may hold. They may not. What the data can say is that a 2.3x MSRP box price and a 4.01 EV ratio are both artifacts of a set whose market is days old, and both numbers tend to compress as print runs land. Run the comparison yourself on the EV page or the screener once EB05 has a few weeks of prints behind it.
