ONE PIECE Card Game Start Deck "Red Black Sabo"

This is a Japanese One Piece box, checked inside when we bought it — the packs counted and every pack seal examined. The outer tape is cut; the packs inside are factory-sealed and complete.

These boxes are sealed with a strip of tape, not shrink wrap — Bandai never shrink wraps them, and in Japan they are commonly sold with the tape already cut. We buy these boxes on the Japanese market, and we check what is inside before we take one in: substituted contents are a known problem for One Piece and Dragon Ball, and an intact tape strip proves nothing about what is in the box. The packs are counted against the official pack count and every pack seal is checked as the original factory seal, cutting the tape where it is still intact. So the outer tape is cut, and every pack inside is factory-sealed, original and complete.

Orders ship from Japan with tracking on every parcel, and the Insured service is covered against loss and damage. Sealed boxes travel in an outer carton, and duties are the buyer’s responsibility in most destinations — the checkout states which apply before payment.
