Romance Dawn (OP-01) still anchors English One Piece collecting because of Shanks and Nami chase cards — especially the manga rares — plus early Straw Hat leader parallels. Match card ID and art, then compare live listings and sold comps. First-set nostalgia plus iconic characters keeps this set liquid years after release.
Which Romance Dawn cards are the real chases?
Start with Shanks SEC manga (OP01-120) and Nami manga rare, then the color/parallel versions of those IDs, then leader parallels for Luffy and Zoro. Yamato SEC parallel is another OP-01 search target. Everything else is secondary unless you collect a specific character.

Why do Shanks and Nami lead OP-01?
Shanks is an emperor-level icon; Nami is a core Straw Hat with highly recognizable manga art. Both printings attract OP TCG buyers and broader One Piece fans. That crossover demand is why wrong-art listings still get clicks — and why you must match the image.
Some card IDs reappear in Premium Booster products with different art. Match set logo and image before you treat a price as a deal.
How should you buy Romance Dawn chase cards?
Open each card page, compare sold comps for the same art and grade, then check live listings with Canada shipping in mind if you are north of the border. Prefer strong seller history on manga rares. Singles at a target beat ripping OP-01 for a manga pull.
