I hope this is the correct section. Comic = manga, right? So, today I came across a craigslist post from a different city than where I live in. A city that is roughly 3 hours south of me. This ad stated that they had the entire Dragonball Viz Comic series collection in MINT condition and in sleeves. I immediately contacted them and asked for pictures. They sent me a few and stated there were way too many to send a picture of them all. They stated they have 56 comics. I tried doing some research, but there seemed to be different volumes per year, not one total amount. (56 as the seller stated) Long story short, i just told this person about 5 minutes ago, that they are sold and I'm going to go pick them up from him on Saturday. What I need/want to know is: Are there really 56 total issues/volumes of this Dragonball Viz Comic series? I haven't seen anything of them before today. I just never came across them at any point in my life. i know you guys have an unreal amount of knowledge. He's only asking $75. I thought to myself.... $75 for 56 pristine condition issues? They have to be worth WAY more than that! Can someone either lead me in the right direction to figure out how much these are worth, that these are somewhat rare or very rare, and that this is the entire collection of the printed comics? Thanks in advanced, Alin

It would probably help immensely if you posted the images he sent you. |

Honestly, I have no idea what those are. Judging simply from the cover illustrations though, this probably isn't the entirety of the Dragon Ball manga... but could possibly be everything pre-Raditz. But that's just an observation. |

Those look like single comic issues rather than manga volumes. They could be real, but I'm not sure. They could also be fakes. I would actually try to stay away from them... There are 16 volumes of the original Dragon Ball series and 26 volumes of the DBZ series that you could easily find on Amazon.com or Rightstuf.com for about 5 dollars each. That would mean you could get 16 volumes of Dragon Ball for about 80 dollars, and those are legit. These seem fishy to me because I'm not sure if Dragon Ball was originally released in the issue format. Edit: Dragon Ball was originally released in this format a very long time ago, so these are old and out of date. I'm not sure what the real issues looked like, so these might still be bootleg. I would honestly look on amazon and just get them in graphic novel format. It's easier to read that way and about the same price for a bigger chunk of material.

Unless you're a serious Dragon Ball/comic collector, I would stay away from them. There's way more cons than pros for the casual reader. |

If he told you the entire collection as in the Z portion also, nope, this ain't it. Like everyone else, I don't know what this is but it sure ain't from Viz...at least not the original volumes. This is what it should look like, or at least what I know is legit: Spoiler: click to toggle

No, these are legitimate. I bought one of these in a comic store long ago when I was a child. If I recall correctly these were released by Viz and they are nothing more than the Viz translation in comic form. But I guess they must be larger than a single 16 page issue because by 56 they are in the Tenshinhan saga I guess. I have to surmise this comic ended in that saga and never got to the King Piccolo saga. |

The guy stated those were the entire series though and since you say it only reaches up to Tien...yeah. |

These are Dragonball, not Dragonball Z. I am a pretty big Dragonball collector, so I really want them. They can't be bootleg because they're popping up on every site I search. If they're not the entire collection, it's still a big portion. Considering they're mint and in sleeves, I think I need to buy these. They might be worth a hell of a lot more than $75 to someone else. While in the meantime, they can be used as some sort of bragging rights! Let me know what you guys think. $75 isn't that much considering their condition. |

I guess if they're real, but the guy claimed the entire collection and it doesn't look like it so basically, he's ripping you off; unless he's ignorantly giving you the wrong information. |

Even if it's not the entire collection, isn't $75 worth it for 56 issues in pristine condition and in sleeves? To me, that seems like a deal. the are some crazy collectors out there. You never know if I can come across one later on. If I don't, then it's just another thing I have Dragonball related added to my collection! |

I guess. I just don't like being told the wrong information, if he tells me the entire collection I expect the entire collection. It's a good deal but still...he gave the wrong information lol that's just me though. |

You're still on the wrong information part. Try to move past that. Even if its 2/3 or 3/4 of the collection, its still a good deal considering the condition they are ALL in!! |
