Trying to decide what to do with my Usagi Yojimbo collection

Paladin · Post by **Paladin** » Wed Mar 09, 2011 15:46 -0700

Hello All,

I need a little advice. I have a large Usagi collection that I have been putting together since about 1986. I still get new issues every couple of months but it is time to let my collection go. I had the honor of meeting Mr. Sakai back in 1999 at San Diego Con. These items are going to be very hard for me to let go but it is time. My question is to you is the best place to sell these items ebay? Any other place you could suggest? I would like to get a good price for my items but money is not the driving factor. The items I have include Albedo #2, Armored Litho, Mirage Stand up. I might be missing a few issue but I have more than one copy of almost every comic. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you in advance.

Troy Rongholt

I'd almost say offer them to people here first, and then go to eBay with what is left. I'm not sure how well the comic issues themselves will sell, but anything else should gain some interest. And I'd be interested in acquiring anything I don't own too

The only thing I can think of that I'm after offhand is the Sashimono print in either b/w or colour. And the one from Belgium. I've already got quite a bit, so the wants list is a bit thin heh...

I would be interested in seeing a list when you get things sorted.

I will check in the morning on the ashcan and H/C. I do know for sure that I have one of the color prints.

Thanks

I'm desperately trying to get a hold of a volume 21 hardcover if you have one.

Thanks everyone for the interest. This will take a small bit of time as some of the stuff is in storage. To try to make this some what fair and easy for me if you are interested in a certain item please send a PM with the item you are looking for and I will try to answer each request. If I have the item I will take pic's and send them to you. So please have a attached email address. So Mayhem please send me a PM with a address so I can send you pics of the Print. I purchased it with some damage do to the fact I never thought I would sell it. Thank you everyone now I'm off to sort stuff.

I too am surely interested to see what you might have. I'm mostly interested in hardcovers and original art.

I have started sending out photo's for people who have pm'd me. I do not have any drawings I'm willing to part with at this time. But thanks for asking. If you have not gotten photo's I will finish tomorrow after work. Thank you all,

Alright I got one for you guys. When sorting some of the comic I have I noticed that I have a issue the has different fronts and backs. Usagi Yojimbo Color Special published in 1989. One is price $2.95 the other $3.50. The $3.50 issues is also marked Special Edition on the cover. The inside pages are different also, and the backs. Any insight on these? Rare? Thanks for the info.

Not majorly rare, but I've seen them sell for up to $10 at times. And yes, it got two printings, hence the changes.
