Kodansha/EPIC

Factory Sealed | Untouched | MINT | #38 | Limited to 4,000

This is arguably the holy grail of the #1-38 EPIC set. I've only ever seen two sealed examples! This is the only way to get a factory sealed #38. This is more rare than a CGC 9.8 graded #38, which have recently sold for $1,000-$1,500.

Condition
The factory seal is really nice. Please inspect the detailed photos. I tried to capture as many angle and perspectives as I could. The box edge does have a minor, short and rather insignificant bend; shown in the last picture. The books look crisp with no noticeable age staining or spotting meaning the plastic seal is doing its job.

The Specifics
These are the exact same #1-38 books of the EPIC set in the English language but this International edition contained a translation booklet as it was meant to give the Japanese audience a chance to read AKIRA in color.
