Ask how many One Piece cards are there and the honest answer is that there is no single official number: as of 3 September 2026, Bandai’s own card-list page did not publish one grand total for the One Piece Card Game — instead it groups every card by product line, and each line has its own running count.
That card-list confirmed 17 numbered Booster Packs, 36 Starter Decks, 4 Extra Boosters and 2 Premium Boosters, plus a handful of smaller categories that Bandai doesn’t number in a single sequence at all. Add those up with every parallel and alt-art variant counted separately and you get a number in the thousands — but that figure depends entirely on how you count, which is exactly why third-party totals disagree with each other.
In that count, Bandai’s card-list grouped cards by product line — Booster Packs (OP-01–OP-17), Starter Decks (ST-01–ST-36), Extra Boosters (EB-01–EB-04) and Premium Boosters (PRB-01–PRB-02). Each set carries its own card-type count, so the reliable answer is a line-by-line one.

How Many One Piece Cards Are There: Sets by Product Line
The One Piece Card Game opened in Japan with themed Starter Decks — Straw Hat Crew, Worst Generation, Seven Warlords of the Sea and Animal Kingdom Pirates — and has grown into four separate numbered product lines since.
| Product line | Code range | Sets released (as of 2026-09-03) | Highest-numbered set |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booster Packs | OP-01 – OP-17 | 17 | OP-17, “The World’s Strongest Warriors” |
| Starter Decks | ST-01 – ST-36 | 36 | ST-36, “Yellow Eustass ‘Captain’ Kid” |
| Extra Boosters | EB-01 – EB-04 | 4 | EB-04, “EGGHEAD CRISIS” |
| Premium Boosters | PRB-01 – PRB-02 | 2 | PRB-02, “ONE PIECE CARD THE BEST vol.2” |
That’s 59 individually numbered products across the four main lines. Bandai’s card-list also carries Family Deck Sets, Promotion cards and Limited Product cards, but those sit outside any single numbering sequence — there’s no “FDS-01 to FDS-N” style count to add, which is one of the reasons third-party totals differ.
Why There’s No Official “Total Card Count”
Search for “how many One Piece cards are there” and you’ll find confident-sounding numbers that don’t agree with each other. One fan database totals roughly 4,348 cards across OP-01–OP-14 plus Starter Decks, Event Boosters and Promos. A separate retailer’s own listing count runs to roughly 5,379. Neither figure comes from Bandai.
The gap between those two numbers comes down to counting method, not a factual disagreement:
- Base cards only counts one entry per card number per set — the smallest possible total.
- Every parallel counted separately adds a line for each alternate-art or foil version of the same card number, which inflates the count considerably in sets with heavy parallel programmes.
- Which product lines are included varies too — some counts stop at OP-14 or exclude Extra/Premium Boosters and Promos entirely, others don’t.
Any single number you see quoted is a snapshot built on someone else’s counting rules, not an official Bandai statistic. The scoped, verifiable answer is the set-by-set count.
How Many Cards Are in a Single Set? OP-16 as a Worked Example
The clearest way to answer “how many cards” is to pick one set and count it properly. OP-16, “The Time of Battle,” officially released on 30 May 2026 with 126 numbered card types plus 1 commemorative DON!! card — 127 distinct card types in total, per Bandai’s own product page.
| OP-16 detail | Figure |
|---|---|
| Numbered card types | 126 |
| Commemorative DON!! card types | 1 |
| Cards per pack | 6 |
| Packs per box (secondary source) | 24 |
| Official Japan release date | 30 May 2026 |
That per-pack and per-box figure comes from retail corroboration rather than Bandai’s own product page, so treat the packs-per-box line as trade-standard rather than an official Bandai statistic — the card-type figure is the one that comes directly from Bandai. Scale that same exercise across the numbered Booster Packs and you can see why a single combined total is hard to pin down: every set has its own card-type count.
Booster Packs vs Starter Decks vs Extra and Premium Boosters
The numbered product lines aren’t interchangeable, and knowing which is which helps explain why the “how many cards” question needs a line-by-line answer rather than one number.
Booster Packs (OP-01–OP-17) are the main-line releases — random packs of new cards, each set built around a themed mechanic or story arc, and the line most people mean when they ask about “a new One Piece set.” OP-17, “The World’s Strongest Warriors,” closes that range.
Starter Decks (ST-01–ST-36) are preconstructed decks with fixed card lists. They’re the format the game launched with, and the official product line reached ST-36 in that count.
Extra Boosters (EB-01–EB-04) sit outside the main numbered sequence and typically revisit or crossover with earlier story arcs; EB-04, “EGGHEAD CRISIS,” was the highest-numbered in that count.
Premium Boosters (PRB-01–PRB-02) are curated reprint/best-of style releases — PRB-02, “ONE PIECE CARD THE BEST vol.2,” pulls notable cards from across earlier sets into one product rather than introducing an entirely new pool.

What This Means When You’re Buying Japanese One Piece Cards
If you’re building a collection, the “no single total” answer actually simplifies your buying decision: you can buy by set, since each Booster Pack has its own confirmed card-type count and its own box.
Our OP-16 “The Time of Battle” Japanese booster box is currently listed at ¥10,634 (~$69).
For OP-17, see our OP-17 card list guide. For a full per-card breakdown of OP-16, see our OP-16 complete card list. And if you want pricing and availability across every set rather than a card-count breakdown, our One Piece booster box hub covers sets and prices.

Bandai’s card-list counted these numbered lines: Booster Packs (OP-01–OP-17), Starter Decks (ST-01–ST-36), Extra Boosters (EB-01–EB-04) and Premium Boosters (PRB-01–PRB-02).
