An event-exclusive alternate art for OP18-096 surfaced on r/ONEPIECETCG, landing on a set that has no trading history, zero graded population and a box at 2.3x MSRP.
I'll Make the Call, OP18-096, and a set that is zero months old
An event-exclusive alternate art treatment for I'll Make the Call surfaced through r/ONEPIECETCG this week, flagged by a community poster rather than by any set reveal. The base card is an R from OP18, a set our data clocks at zero months since release. The chart above is empty for a reason: there is no settled market print for this card yet, no 7 day move and no 30 day move to read.

That is the honest state of play. Event alts are the category where price discovery is slowest, because supply is a function of attendance rather than print run, and because the first sales tend to be private. Until listings accumulate, the only numbers worth looking at sit one level up, at the set.
Raw against the slab
There is nothing to compare. PSA population across the whole of OP18 reads 0, which means no gem rate, no graded premium multiple and no PSA 10 reference for any card in the set, let alone a rare that most openers are not sleeving with intent.
That matters for how an event alt behaves early. With no slab comparables, the ceiling is set entirely by raw demand from players and from the small group chasing event-exclusive print variants. The grading premium, if one develops, shows up months later once submissions clear and a gem rate exists to argue about.
The rest of the set
OP18's current value concentration is thin and top heavy. Nico Robin at $29.99 is the only card above $10, with Saint Gunko and Monkey.D.Luffy (022) tied at $9.99, Monkey.D.Luffy (016) at $4.99 and Shark Submerge 3 at $3.99. An R like OP18-096 does not appear on that list and is not expected to.

A 0.94 EV ratio is unremarkable: every box is negative EV by design, and 0.94 is actually tight next to the rest of our EV board, where OP17 sits at 0.86 and OP14 at 0.72. The uncomfortable number is the 2.3x over MSRP, which is what a pre-release scarcity bid looks like before wide distribution arrives. Our 3 month CAGR on the set reads -90%, consistent with sealed prices deflating toward a settled level. The Long-Term Score is 0 of 10, labelled Unproven, which is the only label a set with no history can carry.
English OP-18 is dated for Nov 20, 2026 at $4.99 a pack and $119.76 for a box of 24, per Bandai. Those figures and live sealed prices sit on our pre-orders page.
Where this leaves it
The event alt is news; it is not yet data. OP18-096 has no price line, no graded comparables and no place in the set's value table, so anything written about its worth today would be fiction. What is measurable is the sealed side: a box trading well above MSRP into a release date, on a set whose scoring history begins at zero.
We will have a price series for the alt once sales print. Until then, the screener is the better place to watch OP18 fill in.
