One Piece TCG SEC Cards: What SEC Means, and the Priciest

SEC means secret rare, but it covers several treatments trading from under $10 to $19,999. What the label actually means, and the 15 dearest printings we track.

Monkey D. Luffy OP13-118, the Red Super Alternate Art secret rare and the most expensive SEC printing tracked on Foilr.
The short version

SEC stands for secret rare, the rarity Bandai prints above super rare and sits at the end of a set's numbering. It is not a single card type: one serial can exist as a base secret rare, an alternate art, a wanted-poster treatment, an SP, or manga-panel art, and each trades separately. The range is enormous. The dearest we track is Monkey D. Luffy OP13-118 in Red Super Alternate Art at $19,999.00; plenty of secret rares sell for under $10.

The label

What SEC means, and where it sits

Secret rares are the cards numbered past the nominal end of a set. A booster set that advertises 118 cards will still contain a 119 and a 120, and those are the secret rares. They are pulled at a much lower rate than super rares, they almost always go to a marquee character, and they are what most of a set's sealed value is chasing. In search you will see people write it as SEC, and paired with a character rather than a serial: "luffy sec", "roger sec", "zoro sec".

That habit is exactly where the confusion starts, because a character name plus "sec" does not identify a card. Luffy OP05-119, Luffy OP09-119 and Luffy OP13-118 are three different secret rares of the same character in three different sets, and each of those has several printings of its own.

The catch

One rarity, several very different cards

The treatments that carry the SEC label in our catalog include the base printing, alternate art, super alternate art, a red variant of super alternate art, wanted-poster art, SP, and manga-panel art. On OP13-118 alone that produces three separately traded printings ranging from $337.31 to $19,999.00 under one serial. A listing that says only "OP13-118 SEC" is ambiguous by a factor of fifty-nine.

Before you buy or quote a price

Check the printing, not the serial. Ask for a photo of the actual card rather than stock art. On the top slots of a set, the gap between two cards that share a code is routinely larger than the gap between a common and a super rare.

The list

The 15 most expensive SEC printings we track

US market values as of 13 August 2026, highest first. Each links to its card page, where you can see every other printing of the same serial and the daily price history behind the number.

The pattern

Seven of the top fifteen are from one set

Count the sets in that list and OP-13 takes seven of the fifteen places, across just three serials: OP13-118, OP13-119 and OP13-120. No other set has more than two. That concentration is the single clearest illustration of why OP-13 climbed to roughly four times MSRP while the sets either side of it settled near two. The chase was not one card, it was three cards with multiple premium treatments each.

What does SEC mean in the One Piece Card Game?
SEC means secret rare. It is the rarity above super rare, given to cards numbered past a set's advertised card count. A set listing 118 cards will still contain cards 119 and 120, and those are its secret rares.
What is the most expensive SEC card in the One Piece TCG?
The most expensive secret rare printing we track is Monkey D. Luffy OP13-118 in Red Super Alternate Art, at $19,999.00 as of 13 August 2026. Portgas D. Ace OP07-119 is second at $9,950.00.
Why do two cards with the same SEC serial have different prices?
Because the serial identifies the card, not the printing. One secret rare can exist as a base printing, an alternate art, a super alternate art, a wanted-poster treatment, an SP, or manga-panel art, and each trades in its own market. OP13-118 has three tracked printings ranging from $337.31 to $19,999.00.
Are all secret rares expensive?
No. Plenty of secret rares trade under $10, including base printings of serials whose premium treatments sell for hundreds. The rarity tells you how hard the card is to pull, not what the market pays for that specific printing.
Which set has the most valuable secret rares?
OP-13. It holds seven of the fifteen most expensive secret rare printings we track, across only three serials: OP13-118, OP13-119 and OP13-120. No other set has more than two entries in that list.
