Harvest (7/31/2009)
Here's a new home to put my other miscellaneous comics. Just picked these up a little while ago. First prints. First prints? From the very 1st series?! WOW! Those are hard come by! Congrats! Were they greatly expensive? TEX

Yea, first prints from the first series. The only truly rare first print of that series is #1. I think only 2500 were printed, so a banged up copy could fetch $1000+, if you can find one that is.
Expensive? Not bad. Paid 60 bucks for the pair at my LCS which seems like a good deal in comparison to some of the prices I've seen on Ebay, considering the condition of them.

I had been looking for these for quite some time, I have the 6 volumes but they aren't the same. I always got outbid on Ebay and were usually overpriced at my LCS. (10 bucks an issue usually). So I get a phone call from my friend saying "Hey you like Akira right? A guy I know just picked up a bunch of the original comics from a thrift store, he doesn't want them though. You interested?"
I go over to check them out. All are near mint, no creases, no scratches. One issue has a small dinged corner. And here's the kicker....its the entire series. He says for me to offer him a price, he has no clue about comics, all he knows is that these are worth way more than he paid. Long story short, I got them all for 80 bucks. I just wish I had been the one to find them at the thrift store, he paid 50 cents each....

Buying the last 6-7 issues of Akira off the rack when they were new was almost as much as you paid for the entire run. Well done.
