The OP-17 Treasure Rare is Edward Newgate
OP17-040
OP17-040Shop on TCGplayer OP17-040. This update is now a post-release card and price guide, not a spoiler alert: English OP-17 released on August 28, and current market records place this premium print far below the set's most expensive Luffy parallel. For the complete set timeline, use the OP-17 spoilers tracker.
TL;DR: OP17-040 is a Blue Edward Newgate Character card with a 6 cost, 8000 power, an On Play draw effect, and a once-per-turn +3000 power effect for a Rocks Pirates Leader. The English version uses Edward Newgate for its Treasure Rare slot, while current Japanese set reports identify Lucky Roux OP17-033 in that slot. On September 16, Grand Line Ledger displayed the English card at $46.37, with recent tracked sales and listings ranging from the mid-$30s to the low-$70s.
The card is Edward Newgate, OP17-040. It is a Blue Character card from The World's Strongest Warriors, with a 6 cost and 8000 power. The card has the Rocks Pirates type and two effects: it draws one card when played, then can trade a card from hand for a +3000 power boost to a qualifying Leader once per turn during a battle.
The important correction is that this is not a new reveal waiting for a release date. OP-17's English product launched on August 28, 2026, following the August 21 pre-release window. Current card databases list the card, its effect, and its English and Japanese language records. Current market data also separates the premium print from the inexpensive regular Rare version that shares the OP17-040 number.
The short version for buyers is:
Here is the confirmed card profile:
| Field | OP17-040 Edward Newgate |
|---|---|
| Card type | Character |
| Color | Blue |
| Cost | 6 |
| Power | 8000 |
| Attribute | Special |
| Type | Rocks Pirates |
| Set | The World's Strongest Warriors, OP-17 |
| Rarity | Treasure Rare in the English card record |
The first effect is On Play: Draw 1 card. The second is a once-per-turn battle effect. When your Leader with a type including Rocks Pirates attacks or is attacked, you may trash one card from your hand. If you do, that Leader gains +3000 power for that battle.
That text makes the card more than a binder-only chase. A six-cost 8000 body that replaces itself can contribute to a board, while the hand-to-power exchange gives a Rocks Pirates Leader an extra combat breakpoint. The cost is real, though. The effect asks for a card from hand, and the boost only helps the qualifying Leader in the current battle. It is a narrow archetype tool, not a generic Blue staple based on rarity alone.
OP17-040 also has a regular Rare printing. The card number does not identify the premium treatment by itself, so sellers should show the actual finish and collectors should verify that the listing says Treasure Rare. Limitless lists both the regular card record and a higher-priced parallel row, while OPTCG Apps labels the OP17-040 record Treasure Rare and shows the same card text.
The name difference is the detail most likely to cause a bad purchase. Current set coverage reports Edward Newgate as the English-language Treasure Rare and Lucky Roux
OP17-033
OP17-033Shop on TCGplayer OP17-033 as the Japanese-language slot. The two cards are not interchangeable collector targets, even though they come from the same OP-17 product family.
For an English buyer, look for all of these details in the listing:
For a Japanese buyer, a listing for the Japanese Treasure Rare slot should instead identify Lucky.Roux OP17-033. Do not use the character name alone as proof of the region. Product pages and marketplace listings can reuse a set title across languages, and some databases group language variants under one card search.
Bandai's official English product page confirms the OP-17 release window, the $4.99 per-pack MSRP, the 131+4 card count, and Treasure Rare as one of the listed rarity treatments. It does not provide a public pull-rate table for OP17-040. Community opening reports can suggest odds, but they are not an official rate and should not be presented as one.
The cleanest current reference I found is a September 16, 2026 page from Grand Line Ledger. It displays a raw OP17-040 Treasure Rare price of $46.37, labels the card as the English OP17-040 TR, and records a 90-day range from $46.37 to $169.99. That wide spread is a warning about timing and liquidity, not evidence that the card has a dependable $170 value.
The same page records recent eBay sold comps and marketplace history including:
| Date | Recorded amount | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| September 11 | $35.00 | A recent sold comp below the displayed raw price |
| September 6 | $46.46 to $72.50 | A cluster of tracked sold listings across conditions and sellers |
| September 5 | $50.00 | Another tracked OP17-040 Treasure Rare comp |
Cardlogs also reported a September 5 snapshot around $53.18 for the OP17-040 parallel. Its page notes that the card had previously been catalogued under an alternate-art label, so I would use it as corroboration for the general range, not as a replacement for a card-specific sold-history check.
The practical reading is mid-$40s to low-$70s in the current sample, with condition, marketplace, shipping, and whether the number is a sale or an ask doing a lot of work. The displayed $46.37 is useful for a dated comparison. It is not a promise that every Near Mint copy will sell for that amount.
The Treasure Rare is not currently the set's highest-value English print. Limitless's current OP17-079
OP17-079
OP17-079Shop on TCGplayer page lists the Luffy Super Leader Parallel at $1,788.24, alongside much lower regular and alternate-print rows. That is a database marketplace snapshot and can move, but it is enough to correct the old implication that the Treasure Rare automatically carried OP-17's largest price tag.
This distinction matters when deciding whether to open sealed product. A buyer opening packs is chasing several different premium treatments, not only OP17-040. A buyer purchasing a single should compare the cost of a confirmed English Treasure Rare with the price of the exact parallel they actually want. The rarity label tells you how the card is treated in the checklist. It does not guarantee the strongest demand.
The same caution applies to the old OP-16 comparison. OP-16's three Admiral Manga Rares and OP-17's Treasure Rare are different products with different supply, character demand, and release timing. A simple claim that one top rarity must be worth more because the other set split demand three ways is not a reliable price model.
OP17-040's effect points toward a Rocks Pirates Leader rather than a general Blue shell. The draw effect helps replace the card spent to develop a six-cost body, and the once-per-turn boost can turn a Leader attack into a stronger counter calculation. It can also protect an attack that would otherwise sit just below a key power threshold.
The hand cost should shape how you use it. If your hand is already thin, paying one card for +3000 can leave you unable to defend the next attack. If a Rocks Pirates Leader is already attacking into a favorable board state, saving the card may be better than forcing a marginal counter. The effect is strongest when the extra 3000 changes the opponent's likely counter spend or lets your Leader contest a large body.
Do not turn that interaction into a current tier claim. The available card pages confirm the text and legality record, but OP17-040-specific tournament volume is not broken out in the sources checked for this update. For the broader set-level color and Leader picture, see the OP-17 OP-16 crossover format guide.

Use this checklist for an OP17-040 listing:
If your goal is play, read the effect and confirm event legality before paying a premium. If your goal is collecting, decide whether you want the English Edward Newgate print or the Japanese Lucky Roux print first. That choice should come before comparing prices.
Who is OP17-040?
Edward Newgate, also known as Whitebeard, is OP17-040. It is a Blue Character card with a 6 cost, 8000 power, an On Play draw effect, and a once-per-turn power boost for a qualifying Rocks Pirates Leader.
What does the card do?
OP17-040 draws one card when played. Once per turn, when a Leader with a type including Rocks Pirates attacks or is attacked, you may trash one card from hand to give that Leader +3000 power for the battle.
Is OP17-040 the same as the OP-17 Edward Newgate Leader?
No. OP17-040 is a Blue Character card. OP-17 also includes a separate Edward Newgate Leader, so the matching name does not make the two cards the same.
Does Japan have the same card?
No. Current set reports identify Edward Newgate as the English-language Treasure Rare and Lucky Roux OP17-033 as the Japanese-language slot. Check the card number, language, and actual finish before buying.
How much is OP17-040 worth right now?
Grand Line Ledger displayed a raw OP17-040 Treasure Rare price of $46.37 on September 16, 2026. Its tracked recent comps include $35.00 on September 11 and several September 5 to 6 records from the mid-$40s to the low-$70s. Treat those as dated indicators, not guaranteed sale prices.
When did OP-17 release in English?
Bandai's English product page lists an August 21, 2026 pre-release and an August 28, 2026 release. The launch window has passed, so current price and card-list data matter more than the old reveal timeline.
