ULTRA-RARE VINTAGE 2001 BANDAI ONE PIECE CARDDASS HYPER BATTLE MASTER SUITE
FEATURING THE LEGENDARY "SIGN OF FRIENDSHIP" (ALABASTA CREW X MARK), "UNDER THE JOLLY ROGER", AND NAMI "SMILING EXTORTION"
OVER 25 YEARS OF CAREFUL PRESERVATION - ICONIC EARLY EAST BLUE & ALABASTA ERA

Up for auction is an exceptionally nostalgic, historic 3-card collection from the foundation of ONE PIECE card history: The original 2001 Bandai Carddass Hyper Battle series. This thematic master trio unites the most iconic and emotionally defining scenes of early ONE PIECE, including the immortal Alabasta "Sign of Friendship" (Nakama no Shirushi), the lively Straw Hat crew gathering "Under the Jolly Roger", and Nami's famous "Smiling Extortion" card.

Printed 25 years ago in Japan, original 2001 Carddass cards are notorious for edge wear and peeling. Preserving three quintessential vintage cards in this immaculate raw condition makes this lot a collector's dream.

Complete 3-Card Master Breakdown:
1. Left: Luffy Pirates "Sign of Friendship" (Alabasta Crew X-Mark / #C356): The single most famous emotional farewell in anime history. Depicts Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, and Karoo raising their left wrists to bid Princess Vivi a silent, tearful goodbye.
2. Center: Luffy Pirates "Under the Jolly Roger" (#C333): A classic, joyous celebration panel capturing Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji gathered proudly around the Going Merry's Jolly Roger flag.
3. Right: Nami "Smiling Extortion" (#C369): The quintessential winking Nami card featuring her playful, extortionate smirk and early hand-drawn Toei Animation artwork ("1 Billion Berries Deal?").

Key Collectible Highlights:
1. Historic Anime Heritage: Originally distributed in Japan in 2001, these cards represent the absolute dawn of ONE PIECE merchandising. Featuring early hand-drawn animation frames and classic parchment treasure-map borders, this set holds unmatched nostalgic and historical value.
2. The Ultimate Display Synergy: Showcases the Straw Hat crew's greatest early bonds—from everyday camaraderie under their pirate flag to the iconic "X" mark of friendship that defined the Alabasta arc, paired alongside the series' sovereign heroine, Nami.
3. High Global Demand for Vintage 2000-2001 Cards: While modern booster packs produce thousands of reprints, genuine 2001 vintage Bandai cards in well-preserved raw condition have nearly vanished from the international market. Low-population and vintage anime pieces continue to see aggressive bidding interest and reliable long-term alternative asset appreciation.
4. Exceptional Preservation: Housed inside individual protective sleeves and presented on acrylic stands. Stored in a temperature-controlled, dark environment away from humidity and UV exposure.
