Why This Card Is Special
Shanks is one of the most iconic characters in One Piece — Luffy's life mentor and one of the Four Emperors (Yonko). OP17 features all four Yonko (Shanks, Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom) as Manga Rares, making it one of the most celebrated sets in One Piece TCG history. Manga Rares are drawn in the original manga art style directly from creator Eiichiro Oda's hand — a completely different visual experience from regular cards. Shanks' Manga Rare commands the highest price among the quartet at $1,482, earning it the title of OP17's crown card.
