One Piece Card Game rarities explained: L, SR, SEC, SP and what a parallel is

The six tiers

The rarity is printed at the bottom of the card, beside its number, and six marks cover the whole of a normal booster. L is Leader — the card the deck is built around, face-up from the turn the game starts, and the only tier with its own block of numbers at the front of the set. C, UC and R — Common, Uncommon, Rare — are the body of the set. SR is Super Rare. SEC is Secret Rare, and those are the last numbers in the list.

What is striking is how little the shape changes. From OP-04 onward, every main booster has been 6 Leaders, 45 Commons, 30 Uncommons, 26 Rares, 10 Super Rares and 2 Secret Rares — 119 numbered cards. The exceptions are worth knowing: OP-13 and OP-17 each have a third Secret Rare, OP-14 opened with seven Leaders, and the first three sets ran eight.

Extra Boosters are built differently. EB-03 and EB-04 have one Leader, 29 Commons, 21 Rares and 9 Super Rares — and no Uncommon tier at all.

What a parallel actually is

A parallel is another print of a card that already exists in the set. It keeps the number, the name and the text; what changes is the artwork, the finish, or both. That is why a set of 119 numbered cards can show 150 entries on the official list — the extra entries are parallels, not extra cards.

Three kinds turn up. Alternate art is a new illustration, usually by a named illustrator. Manga art redraws the scene as a manga panel, often with the logo taken out of the corner. And from OP-05 onward a small number of Super Parallels appear.

The count moves a lot from set to set: 25 in OP-04, 45 in OP-13, 38 in OP-17. One number can carry more than one — OP01-120 Shanks exists as the regular Secret Rare and as two parallels, and OP08-118 Silvers Rayleigh exists in three versions.

SP cards, and why the number looks wrong

From OP-03 onward most sets include a handful of Special Cards, marked SP. They carry card numbers from earlier products, not from the set you opened. The five in Kingdoms of Intrigue are OP01-047, OP01-078, OP02-004, OP02-085 and OP02-099 — so an SP pulled from an OP-04 pack is, by its number, an OP-01 or OP-02 card.

Their treatment changes from set to set. The four in Pillars of Strength are all wanted-poster art; the six in Two Legends are printed in 和柄, the Japanese-pattern style.

Treasure Rare, the newest mark

TR is the recent arrival, and for a while it existed only on the English side: the English lists for 500 Years in the Future and Two Legends each carry a Treasure Rare with no Japanese counterpart at all. It reached the Japanese line with OP-16 on 30 May 2026, which has one, and OP-17 has one as well — OP17-033 Lucky Roux.

DON!! cards

DON!! is not a rarity, but it shares the pack. The official contents count it separately from the card types: most sets list a single DON!! type, OP-17 lists four.

Where to see them

Every set file in the magazine lists that set’s own breakdown, the parallels it carries and the cards the official page leads with. The set code is the fastest way in: type OP-13 or EB-03 into the search there.
