Description: This listing is for Weekly Shonen Jump 1984 No. 51. This includes Chapter 1 of Dragon Ball manga (with the 1st full appearance of Goku & Bulma), along with chapters from several other manga series. This pre-dated both the tankobon and the anime. It was authenticated and graded 3.5 ("Very Good-") by Beckett / CBCS with "White Pages". Beckett then sealed the book in a hard plastic case. Fakes for this issue are extremely common, which makes an authenticated / encapsulated book like this especially desirable. We are a US-based seller and do not use stock photos - you will receive the exact book pictured. It will be shipped very securely with signature confirmation, with restricted delivery to the buyer's address only. Buyer should be prepared to show ID upon delivery. We take a number of steps to prevent scams and will spare no expense prosecuting any attempts to the fullest extent of the law. Check Out Our Other Rare Manga! About Japanese MangaJapanese manga (especially Shonen Jump) contains a number of extremely important 1st appearances. However, since these magazines are fairly bulky and very few people perceived them to be a collectible, the vast majority were discarded and the small number that remain tend to be in pretty bad condition. Reprints exist for a few of the keys (like 1st One Piece and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) but are easily identified by differences in the back cover. Fakes are fairly rare, with the exception of 4 books: Shonen Jump 1984 No. 51 (1st Dragon Ball); Shonen Jump 1999 No. 43 (1st Naruto); Shonen Jump 1998 No. 14 (1st Hunter X Hunter); and Shonen Jump 1997 No. 34 (1st One Piece). These fakes are fairly easy to identify if you've been collecting manga for a while, but if not, you need to be careful about buying these books from a reputable source unless they have been authenticated/graded.
