Collectors on r/ONEPIECETCG are asking whether gift collection boxes land alongside the EB05 release. Here is what the set's box price, rip EV and empty census say.
EB05 and the 2.8x problem
A thread on r/ONEPIECETCG asked the only question that matters to a lot of buyers around an Extra Booster drop: will the gift collection boxes be on shelves for the EB05 release? No answer has surfaced from the community yet, but the pricing side of the question is already settled. A sealed EB05 box is marked at $340.09 against a $119.76 MSRP, which is a 2.8x multiple on a product the set has existed for zero months.

There is no annualized return to quote here, and that is the point. The set is new enough that no 3-month or 1-year CAGR exists in our data, so anyone framing EB05 as a performance story is working off vibes rather than tape. The chart above covers the window we have, which is short.
Inside the box
Rip EV on EB05 sits at $313 against the $340.09 box market, an EV ratio of 0.92. Every sealed product in this game is negative EV by design: the printer sets the odds, and the gap is the house edge. A 0.92 ratio is unusually tight by category standards, and it is worth noting that the five sets on our current box EV leaderboard all sit lower, between 0.60 and 0.76.
What that tightness usually signals on a brand new set is thin secondary liquidity rather than generosity. Early singles prices tend to be anchored to preorder asks, not to repeat sales.
The card above tops the set at $29.99, which is also its all-time high, because it has no price history to speak of. Same story for Jewelry Bonney at $24.99 and Alvida at $24.99, the latter showing a flat 0% week. Three SRs clustered at the same number is what a set looks like before the market has decided anything.
The graded side
Total PSA population for EB05: 0. No gem rate, no graded premium multiple, no estimate of boxes already opened. The census is a blank page.
That matters for the gift box question specifically. Collection boxes tend to drive a wave of opened product, and we track the aftermath on the destruction page. Until that wave arrives, there is no supply-side read on EB05 at all, only asks.
Long-term read
EB05 scores 0 out of 10 on our Long-Term Score, labelled Unproven. That is not a verdict on the cards. The score is driven by realized price history, graded supply and multi-period returns, and EB05 has none of those inputs at zero months since release.
The honest framing: a $340.09 box at a 2.8x multiple with a 0.92 EV ratio and an empty census is a set where the entire thesis is still in front of us. If the gift collection boxes do land alongside the release, the first real datapoint will be what they do to the singles in that table. Run the comparisons yourself on the screener.
