This listing is for Weekly Shonen Jump 1997 #34. This includes Chapter 1 of One Piece manga. It pre-dated both the tankobon and the anime, making it the 1st appearance of One Piece in any medium.
It was authenticated and graded 2.0 by Beckett with \"Off-White Pages\", and sealed in a hard plastic case. The most significant defect responsible for the grade is some color fade to the cover.

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.
