Charlotte Linlin and the Big Mom Pirates Cards: Every Printing Ranked by Value (2026)

$950 is what a Charlotte Linlin card costs right now, and it isn't the one you'd guess. It isn't the manga rare. It isn't the Secret Rare from a booster set. It's a Treasure Cup promo built on ST07-010, a card whose ordinary version trades for $1.40.

That single comparison is the whole Big Mom Pirates story. This is a crew with twelve or so named members across the card game, and the value inside it clusters in a way that ignores power level, ignores screen time, and ignores how often a character shows up in a booster pack.

This guide ranks every meaningful Charlotte Linlin printing, then walks the rest of the crew: Katakuri, Pudding, Cracker, Smoothie, Perospero and Oven. It explains why three of them clear $500 while four of them can't clear $8.

Charlotte Linlin value 2026: the top variants ranked

Prices below are TCGplayer market figures for raw, ungraded English copies, pulled 6 October 2026. Market price blends recent sold listings rather than asking prices. Graded comps on this crew are thin enough that most printings have no recorded PSA 10 sale at all, and the table says so rather than guessing.

Values move with the market.

That's a range of $0.12 to $950.00 across one character. The bottom of it is her OP-17 leader, a card most Yellow players own four of.

Why the Big Mom money sits in tournament prizes

Across every One Piece character we've catalogued, the usual pattern is simple. A manga art printing lifts a character's ceiling into four figures, and characters without one stall in the low hundreds.

Linlin breaks it. She has a manga rare, OP17-112 from The World's Strongest Warriors, and at $807.60 it's only her third most valuable card. Two prize printings sit above it.

The reason is distribution. Checked against the One Piece set release list, a manga rare is rare inside a product anyone can buy. A Championship 2024 card or a Treasure Cup promo was handed to a small number of finishers at a small number of events, and then never printed again.

Booster rarity is a ratio. Event distribution is a hard cap.

That cap is why Linlin's $1.40 starter card and her $950 starter-card promo share a number. They're the same card. One came in a $12 box, the other came off a top table.

Charlotte Katakuri value 2026

Katakuri outvalues his mother, and it's the same mechanism. His Championship 2024 printing of OP03-123 sits at $990.00, the highest figure anywhere in this crew.

His retail cards are ordinary. OP03-123 base is $2.50 in Pillars of Strength, and the alternate art is $18.23. OP11-067 base runs $7.34.

The tier underneath his Championship card is all promo and special treatment again:

• Japanese 3rd Anniversary Set, OP11-067: $109.95
• The Time of Battle SP, OP11-067: $91.39
• Pillars of Strength alternate art, OP03-099: $83.98
• Premium Booster The Best alternate art, OP03-123: $53.52
• A Fist of Divine Speed alternate art, OP11-062: $33.60
• Winner Pack 2025 Vol. 3, OP08-062: $15.58

His floor is lower than you'd expect for a character this popular. ST16-003 is $0.11. OP11-062 base is $0.13. OP08-063 is $0.22.

Charlotte Pudding value 2026

Pudding is the crew's strangest result. She's a non-combatant, she loses most of her arc, and her Championship 2024 printing of OP03-112 trades at $514.71. That's more than any ordinary Charlotte Linlin card ever made.

She also carries two separate Treasure Cup printings on OP08-067, at $94.42 for the store version and $66.00 for the standard one, plus a Two Legends SP at $91.59 and a CS 25-26 Celebration Pack card at $73.21.

Her retail prints are cheap. OP03-112 base is $0.21, the alternate art is $13.66, and OP17-109 is $2.30.

Put plainly: Pudding has five printings above $60 and not one of them came out of a booster box you can still buy.

Cracker, Smoothie, Perospero and Oven value 2026

Here's where the crew falls off a cliff. Four named Charlottes, all with real roles in Whole Cake Island, none with a single card above $8.

Charlotte Cracker tops out at $3.40 for the Premium Booster The Best alternate art, with the Pillars of Strength alt at $3.14. His OP08-064 base from Two Legends is $0.05, the cheapest card in this guide.

Charlotte Smoothie's best card is a P-090 Event Pack Vol. 7 promo at $7.62, followed by a Premium Booster alternate art at $6.66 and a full art at $4.67. Her base printings sit between $0.06 and $0.16.

Charlotte Perospero peaks at $3.74 for his Pillars of Strength alternate art. Base cards run $0.06 to $0.38.

Charlotte Oven is the flattest character in the set. Three printings, $0.07, $0.07 and $0.45, and no premium treatment of any kind. Nothing has ever been done to an Oven card to make it worth holding.

Should you grade a Charlotte Linlin card in 2026?

Grading this crew is harder to justify than almost any group in the game, because the recorded graded market is nearly empty. Submitting into a vacuum means you set the comp rather than meet one.

A few tiers where it does make sense:

• The $800 to $990 prize cards, Linlin's Treasure Cup and both Championship 2024 printings. These are the only cards here where a slab reliably adds confidence to a six-month-old eBay listing, because provenance matters to buyers at that price.
• The manga rare OP17-112 at $807.60. Manga printings across One Piece show the deepest graded demand of any treatment, so this is the likeliest of the three to find a real market.
• The $80 to $110 band, meaning Katakuri's 3rd Anniversary and Time of Battle SPs and Linlin's Wings of the Captain SP. Borderline. Grading fees eat a large share of the upside.

Everything below $30 is not worth a submission. A $23 alternate art that grades a 9 instead of a 10 has cost you more in fees than the card is worth.

One caution on the top three. A $950 figure resting on a handful of sales describes scarcity, not liquidity. You may wait months for a buyer at that number.

Which Big Mom Pirates card should you actually buy in 2026?

A dollar or two gets you the functional crew. Katakuri ST16-003 at $0.11, Cracker OP08-064 at $0.05, Perospero OP08-068 at $0.06 and Oven OP03-105 at $0.07 build most of a Yellow shell for the price of a sandwich.

Around $10 buys the art. Linlin's Two Legends parallel at $11.85 and Pudding's OP08-067 parallel at $10.74 are the best looking cards in the crew at a sane price.

Around $50 to $90, you're choosing between Katakuri's Premium Booster alt at $53.52, his Time of Battle SP at $91.39 and Linlin's Wings of the Captain SP at $86.07. The SPs hold value better because the treatment can't be reprinted into a common set.

Four figures means prize cards only. If you want Linlin's ceiling, you're buying a Treasure Cup promo at $950 or a Championship 2024 card at $898.50, and you're buying it from someone who earned it.

How JK Index helps

Every printing in this guide lives on JK Index with its own sold history, so you can see whether a $23 alternate art has actually traded at $23 or just sat listed there.

The One Piece hub covers the full catalog, and set pages like Pillars of Strength, Two Legends and Wings of the Captain show what else came out of the same box.

Searching a character rather than a card number is usually faster on a crew like this one, where one name spans twenty-three printings. Running the Linlin search returns the whole ladder in one view.

If you hold any of these, portfolio tracking separates raw from graded so a $1.40 starter copy and a $950 promo don't get averaged into one meaningless number. The marketplace shows what's actually listed right now.

The takeaway

The Big Mom Pirates are the clearest evidence in One Piece that rarity and scarcity are different things. Rarity is a pull rate inside a product. Scarcity is a product that was never sold.

Three Charlottes clear $500, and all three got there through events rather than boosters. Charlotte Oven, with three printings and no promo in six sets, has never produced a card worth more than forty-five cents.

FAQ

How much is a Charlotte Linlin card worth in 2026?

Between $0.12 and $950.00 depending on the printing. Her OP17-099 leader base is twelve cents, while the ST07-010 Treasure Cup promo trades around $950. Most of her twenty-three printings sit under $30.

What is the most expensive Big Mom Pirates card?

Charlotte Katakuri's Championship 2024 printing of OP03-123, at roughly $990.00. It beats every Charlotte Linlin card, including her manga rare, and it was only ever awarded at 2024 championship events.

Does Charlotte Linlin have a manga rare?

Yes, OP17-112 in The World's Strongest Warriors, trading around $807.60. OP-17 carried four manga parallels in total. Unusually for One Piece, her manga card is only her third most valuable printing.

Why is Charlotte Pudding worth more than Charlotte Cracker?

Distribution, not popularity. Pudding received a Championship 2024 card at $514.71 plus two Treasure Cup printings and an SP. Cracker has never received a prize or SP treatment, so his ceiling is $3.40.

Which Big Mom Pirates cards are cheapest?

Charlotte Cracker OP08-064 at $0.05, Charlotte Smoothie OP08-065 at $0.06, Charlotte Perospero OP08-068 at $0.06, and Charlotte Oven OP03-105 at $0.07. All four are ordinary commons from recent sets.

Is Charlotte Linlin worth grading?

Only her top three printings realistically. The Treasure Cup promo, the Championship 2024 card and the manga rare all sit near $800 or above. Below $30, grading fees exceed any likely gain.

What set has the most Charlotte Linlin cards?

Pillars of Strength and The World's Strongest Warriors each carry multiple Linlin printings. Pillars of Strength holds OP03-077 and OP03-114 plus their parallels, and OP-17 holds OP17-049, OP17-099 and OP17-112.

Is Charlotte Katakuri a good card to collect?

He has the widest spread in the crew, from an $0.11 starter common to a $990 Championship card, so there's an entry point at almost any budget. His SPs in the $90 to $110 band hold value better than his alternate arts.
