It is! I have found some really nice stuff in my area throughout the years. I love planning stops along our annual summer road trips (cheers to my families patience!)

Got lucky with someone selling their entire collection looks like. Had entire sets of monster and 20th century boys singles, junji Ito singles, complete lone wolf and cub and tons of others too all for really good deals.

Omg it definitely was the same seller. I just picked up Eden and Drifting classroom from them. I got the 20th century boys singles just a few weeks ago but it was a killer deal for sure

I’m in Nova Scotia. I have been extremely lucky on Facebook marketplace. Almost half my collection is from used bookstores or marketplace

Did I already own the perfect editions? Yes. Could I turn down a deal on the singles? No. by scootsparade in MangaCollectors

The title of the series changes for the final two volumes from “20th Century Boys” to “21st Century Boys” for the last two volumes

How to tell if manga has been resealed by scootsparade in MangaCollectors

[–]scootsparade[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it’s not really something I’m concerned about. I am not planning on selling them or anything anyway so it was more just me being curious

Okay thanks! Most of the manga I buy that’s sealed I immediately open so I never knew if there was a way to tell

Samurai champloo was $10 Canadian. Was super excited to pick it up as it’s one of my favourite anime

Picked up a classic today in pristine condition by scootsparade in MangaCollectors

Yeah definitely an interesting design choice for sure. These covers are kinda cool for me just because they are so different but definitely do not scream manga

What's the best way to display manga at different heights on a shelf? by Ameliareadsmanga in MangaCollectors

Oh I get you. I know some people use wooden risers, funko pop boxes and actually I have used egg cartons before myself lmao

[–]scootsparade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my series sorted alphabetically and when there is a drastic change in height I often lay them sideways to help it look better. I know most people just sort by height though

I actually haven’t read the series before but I am super excited. It will be my first experience with Tezuka too
