🧵 1/ The red on the Red Manga Set was not a Bandai design choice. It was decided in Akira Toriyama's studio in 2002, over a cup of tea he poured himself.
If you don't know where the red comes from, you don't know what SB01-053 and FB05-031 actually are.
1st Print Manga is getting harder and harder to find in Japan due to increased demand from the west. Just a few months ago you could still buy good condition ones for just a few dollars. Those days have passed but there are still deals to be found. You still have time.
There is still a lot of opportunity in the English market.
E01 to E03 sets are more common so the focus would be on E01, either full set or key characters at good prices (Gohan, Goku, Broly, Vegeta).
E04 upwards becomes more rare while E06-E08 are the hardest to find.

When the Japanese start doing buybacks on certain cards, you have a small window to look into the English card markets and find mispriced items before everyone catches up.
Right now they've been focused on Gold Energy Markers.
Lots of good buys on E-01 to E-03 sets.

@theniftydaddy@mokky_abc It's crazy how cheap first prints still are despite seeing manga energy markers go crazy. I have been buying non-stop but prices are slowly starting to rise as people catch on. Here's the full set of first prints (excl vol 1) next to their matching energy markers.
