Uta's Manga Alt Art Keeps Sliding Ahead of the Next Heroines Edition

A PSA 10 of Uta's manga alt art from One Piece Heroines Edition, EB03-061, sold for $1,111 on eBay Sunday after four copies went for more than $1,900 apiece on June 14. Since August, every PSA 10 sale has landed between $940 and $1,359.

Bandai released the first Heroines Edition, Extra Booster EB-03, in English on Feb. 20. The second volume comes out in English on Friday, Oct. 30, with a Nami alt art drawn by To Love-Ru creator Kentaro Yabuki and a new Nico Robin leader. No Uta has been announced for it, though Bandai's Japanese page lists one secret rare it hasn't named.

As of Oct. 26, the manga alt art has a gem rate of 86% at PSA, with 1,202 PSA 10s out of 1,392 graded. Every raw sale this month has come in under $900 after raw copies went for around $1,000 in May.

Anyone who collected One Piece in 2025 has seen this slide before. Trafalgar Law's manga rare from Royal Blood slid to around $330 raw that summer, then sold for around $925 by January as manga rares like Jewelry Bonney's from Legacy of the Master ran up through the holidays too. I'd bid $650 on a clean raw Uta now, near the low end of its raw sales since September, and hold it into the winter. I'd plan to sell before spring because Law gave most of that run back by this fall.
