Collectors flagged damaged and miscut EB05 cards days into release, while the set itself trades at $248.15 a box against a $119.76 MSRP.
EB05: a $248.15 box against a $119.76 MSRP
A thread on r/ONEPIECETCG this week collected what posters describe as misprint pulls out of EB05 product: damaged cards, miscuts, cards that did not separate cleanly. Quality control chatter is standard in the first weeks of any set, but it lands here on a product with effectively no trading history. EB05 is at zero months since release, which means there is no 3 month or 1 year annualized return to quote. The sealed box sits at $248.15, or 2.1x MSRP.

That is the entire problem with pricing a misprint narrative right now. Error cards trade on scarcity and on how a grading company treats them, and neither input exists for a set this young. What we have is a box price, a rip estimate, and five singles doing the heavy lifting.
Inside the box
Estimated rip value on EB05 is $306 against the $248.15 box, an EV ratio of 1.23. Treat that with suspicion rather than enthusiasm. Every sealed box is negative EV by design, so a ratio under 1 is the normal state of the world; a reading above 1 almost always means the chase singles are priced off thin, early, low-volume sales that have not yet met real supply. EB05 currently tops the box EV board for exactly that reason, and that sort of ranking tends to erode as boxes get opened.
The top of the set:
The Robin above has already printed a $1,500 all time high and has given back ground since. The Hancock SP is sitting exactly at its own high of $620.96, which is what you would expect from a card with a handful of sales and no downward test yet.
The graded side
PSA population on EB05 is 0. No gem rate, no graded premium multiple, no estimated boxes opened. That is the cleanest statement of how early this is: the misprint discussion is happening before a single copy of anything in the set has come back from a grader, error or otherwise.
It also means the usual route for monetising a miscut, a slab with an error designation, is not yet available as a price reference. Until population data exists, every misprint valuation is a negotiation between two people. Our destruction tracker has nothing to work with here either.
Long-term read
The Long-Term Score on EB05 is 1 out of 10, labelled Unproven. That is not a verdict on the cards. It is the mechanical result of zero months of price history, zero graded population, and no annualized return to measure against the $119.76 MSRP.
What moves that score is time and volume: a 90-day tape on the chase singles, a PSA population that establishes a gem rate, and a box price that settles somewhere relative to the current 2.1x MSRP multiple. The misprint thread is a footnote to that process, not an input to it. Watch the EV ratio instead; if $306 of estimated rip value holds as supply arrives, the set is doing something unusual. Screen the rest of the market on the screener.
