Overview
- The Dodgers held One Piece Night on Thursday at Dodger Stadium, giving the first 52,000 ticketed fans an exclusive “Monkey D. Luffy DON!!” trading card and a co-branded straw hat and hosting themed activities at Centerfield Plaza.
- Sellers posted presale eBay listings before gates opened with asking prices up to about $900 and separate ads claiming PSA 10 presale copies for more than $3,500.
- Completed sales from the 2025 giveaway show PSA 10 copies sold for roughly $4,000 to $4,600, a benchmark that appears to be driving the high asking prices this year.
- Hundreds of fans formed long lines hours before first pitch to secure the free items, while some sellers are listing cards they do not yet possess, a common speculative practice on secondary marketplaces.
- The promotion ties into a broader commercial trend: the Dodgers’ signings of Japanese stars have helped attract more than 20 Japanese corporate sponsors and pushed reported annual sponsorship revenue past $200 million.
