High conviction · Thesis-only · Founder call
Definitive Gear 5 awakening art — the chase image collectors want
Carries the official Weekly Shonen Jump 55th Anniversary stamp — authentic Jump-anniversary, manga-art provenance is a core collectibility driver
WSJ 55th Anniversary — one-time subscriber promo, no reprints, Japan-gated (scarcer abroad)
A large grading-EV gap: PSA 10 copies list at multiples of the raw comp, with graded sales still thin
Buy the raw near comp — not the 4–5× local RM asking prices
Public track record
5 graded: 1 hit, 4 misses · early sample · nothing backdated
3 sales over 74 days, from $231 to $305.99. The latest was $305.99 on Sep 6, 2026. We called it on Jun 24, 2026 — 3 of these sales happened after that.

We don't join the dots with a line — that would invent prices nobody ever paid.
The Weekly Shonen Jump 55th Anniversary Collection Monkey D. Luffy (Gear 5) single, raw, Japanese — a very thin, rising market. Quote = the latest clean sale (prior July sales $207.72→$235 are the rising trail). NOT the PSA 9/10 graded copies (~$600 / $1,000–1,200), the full 3–4 card set (~$1,000–2,500), the Zoro/Shanks singles, or the unrelated P-159 29th-Anniversary promo.

The definitive Gear 5 “awakening” chase art — the image collectors actually want — on a one-time Weekly Shonen Jump 55th Anniversary subscriber promo carrying the official Jump 55th stamp (authentic Jump-anniversary provenance is a core collectibility driver). Supply is fixed (campaign over, no reprints) and Japan-gated, so it reads scarcer abroad than its raw print count. Founder has held the raw since January; the raw comp has since re-rated well above the entry (real sold sales shown above), and graded PSA 10 copies list at multiples of that with graded sales still thin — a large grading-EV gap on a cheap raw. Buy the RAW near comp, not the 4–5× local RM asks. Honest caveat: the market is thin, so this is a high-conviction call on the collectible thesis (iconic art + capped, gated supply), not on deep liquidity — disclosed.
