Check out the PSA pop report for the first ever Naruto collectible card. Total population = 20

There is growing speculation that Bandai is going to announce very soon a new Naruto TCG. Which reasonably means that once the official announcement happens, people will start hunting vintage Naruto cards. You may want to get ahead now. See post below for the first ever Naruto collectible card.

The first Naruto card ever made is one of the most overlooked items in anime card collecting. December 23, 2000, Jump Festa in Japan. Shueisha released a 24 card Weekly Jump set and No.14 is Naruto. Original Kishimoto manga art, almost two years before the anime existed and two years before Bandai printed any Naruto TCG card. Collectors often point to the 2002 Jump Festa Naruto as the earliest, which sits at a PSA pop of 22. But the true first is dated to the exact day, verified by the card back itself, and has essentially zero graded population. And almost no listings anywhere.

You guys want a collectibles banger today that may disrupt the market?

Im only going to talk about this collectibles alpha in a subscriber-only space this Sunday. Not putting it in writing or making a post about this topic for a while. I’m very excited about this one.

Set a reminder for my upcoming Space! x.com/i/spaces/1nJOLLzapdExR RSVP now. Subscribers only, where I share some major collectibles alpha for the first time.

I’ve got something for the subscribers this Sunday that I have never shared with anyone before and may be a game changer. You do not want to miss this. Nobody and I mean nobody is on this collectibles alpha I’m going to share for the first time. You only have a few days to prepare.

Supply crunch likely incoming for the Glossy Jigglypuff card from the November 1996 Corocoro magazine. Look at the POP report below for what is the first ever Pokemon TCG card (along with the Glossy Pikachu card included in the same magazine issue).

If you know what this Pokemon card is, and you understand what it means historically, you just might make it.

If you are a One Piece fan or collector, you need to read this. It’s well established that C01 is the first ever Monkey D. Luffy card released. This is from Bandai Carddass set “Hyper Battle First Stage” released in 1999 and only in Japanese. But here’s the collectible alpha that most people don’t know: This is also Luffy’s first ever TCG card. That’s right: Hyper Battle wasn’t just a regular collectible cards set, it was a fully functioning TCG. Look at the C01 Luffy First Stage card. It carries a 500 power value, a Pirate type icon, and real rules text: if no Pirate card is on an opponent’s field, you cannot even play it. That is a game mechanic. Hyper Battle had rules for decks, hand size, Game Points, battle phases, win conditions, Character/Special/Hyper/Field Point cards, and later packs included rule/how-to-play flyers. These Hyper Battle cards were sold in randomized four card packs out of Carddass machines starting in November 1999, right as the One Piece anime launched. So the C01 Luffy is not just Luffy’s first appearance on cardboard. It is a playable card from the first ever One Piece card game. This means C01 is the true genesis, the granddaddy of all Luffy TCG cards. Think about that.

There is an additional bull case for this Luffy card that most of you likely don’t know. Posting tomorrow.
