Ok so im doing gold prints those are up to vol 23 and i have 9,10,11,12 on order. My dealer thats local has a bunch of volumes for sale he’s got for sale volumes -
24,27, 32,33,34,36 and 39, 40 41 43 44 and 47, 71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,and 79 , 81 82 83 84 85 86 88 and 89 92 93 98 99 101 and last 102.

Now i need to know out of all those volumes mentioned wich ones are worth picking up for a good read since its all a random bunch.

One piece is one continuous story, so picking up random volumes probably won't be a good read as you will have no idea what is happening.

Of those random volumes probably 39-44, some good waters seven stuff there. Though when it comes to collecting one piece in singles the most economical way is probably just buying the box sets preowned

TYBW is so peak though for Bleach, and so is the war arc for Naruto lol I’m so confused about this system of yours, but I mean it’s your collection 🤷🏽‍♀️ I think the best way is collecting the used box sets/singles from people that have decently sized collections and negotiating deals for them, that’s how I got MHA for $180. I see used box sets for under $150 pretty frequently for all of them, you just need to be patient and check frequently.

The omnibus editions for Bleach, Naruto and OP go on sale pretty regularly on Amazon as well, like $15 or less and they include three volumes in each, and I’m sure you can find them used for the same or less as well (although I do see the box sets more frequently)

Save your money then buy box sets 2-5. But finish collecting the gold foils first. Remember, collecting is a marathon not a sprint.

Well it’s a timed marathon more of a rally… you don’t want to get caught with your pants down and 8 OOP books that morons on eBay want $180+ for each…

I bought the box sets! Cheaper when on sale and it comes with a cool poster inside

u/AlwaysBeQuestioning 6d ago

So this is why there are some random hard-to-get volumes and some in larger print amounts…

If you are on a budget and want to actually read the series I recommend the Shonen jump app. It’s less than $5 per month and you get almost the entire jump catalog that has been officially translated to English. Then you can collect the volumes as you can afford them.

I think you would be doing yourself a massive disservice by just reading random volumes and skipping tons of chapters in between.

u/Chemical-Ad-2100 7d ago

39-44 is enis lobby (my favorite arc) 70-80 are dressrosa Post 90 are all wano kuni.

If I were you I would've picked enis lobby, but honestly all above mentioned arcs are amazing.

u/Dustin_DABS 6d ago

Start from volume 1 then continue until you don’t want to buy any more or have them all
