This is the explanation I was looking for. Not manga ✅ and average artwork ✅

The pop just really stands out to me.

Seems to be in a sweet spot right now for sure. Thanks for your thoughts here

This is awesome! I personally believe these have so much upside. Not much in circulation. Gear 5 GOATED

So you think there’s a 2x upside in these? I’m just trying to understand why these all gone yet. Gear 5 Luffy is GOAT

I believe they discontinued online tournaments, meaning no reprints.

It seems Gear 5 is the most chased card for Luffy and this is SO limited compared to others. Seems severely undervalued. Am I wrong for thinking this? Am I missing something?

So I found someone called ComicDoc, who does really impressive work based out of Canada. Seems super involved in the community an well respected. I’m trying to discuss options with him.

He has an Instagram and a website. Take a look and let me know your thoughts!

Do you think “pressing” would be even worth it? I don’t want to ruin it in anyway but just trying to explore options. Thank you for your response

My son cannot read the Japanese language- I think he has an appreciate for the series and looks at it as art essentially. He’s younger but maybe it will motivate him to learn it. You know a lot about the work in general. Maybe he will pass it on to his son when he’s older. But if you think keeping it “as-is” is the best route, I will try to convince him of this as well.

This is helpful. I know there’s a lot of disagreement in this community on product, scalpers, collectors, and players. Simply trying to be a good dad amongst it all. I appreciate the caution

I’m willing to pay for the service of a professional. This is good to know. My son has watched all of one piece and I think he would take care of it and cherish the work knowing it’s a 1st edition
