Overview
- Pre-game eBay listings for the exclusive Monkey D. Luffy “DON!!” promotional card appeared before distribution with asking prices near $900 and PSA 10 presale ads above $3,500.
- Fans formed very long queues at Dodger Stadium hours before first pitch to be among the first 52,000 ticketed attendees eligible for the card and co-branded straw hat.
- Last year’s graded sales set a price precedent with completed PSA 10 sales roughly between $4,000 and $4,600, which helps explain strong early resale interest this year.
- Reports from the stadium describe resellers buying multiple giveaways for resale, security removing or arresting some sellers, and social posts showing on-site offers of cash for the items.
- The promotion is part of a broader push that follows the Dodgers’ signings of high-profile Japanese players and expanded Japan-focused sponsorships, a shift that has amplified demand for Japan-linked activations and collectibles.
