original vintage Toriyama / Bird Studio artwork question

Post by alleycat444 » Sat Feb 24, 2024 9:36 pm

I came across some interesting lots of original vintage Toriyama / Bird Studio artwork that are being offered for sale at auction in a few weeks on March 13th at propstoreauction.com

From the auction description:

“Created by anime and manga artist Akira Toriyama, these hand-painted cels on acetate feature hand-painted illustration cels with backgrounds and hand-drawn line art from Bibi Toys' Super Hero card series. The cels are taped to hand-painted backgrounds. Included is hand-rendered line art. Cels have a Bird Studio Shueisha, Toei Animation copyright sticker on the bottom right corner, licensed by FUNimation Productions, Inc. ”

I am seeking more information. Is anyone familiar with this Dragon Ball release of cards featuring this artwork? Where can I find the DB cards that this artwork was used?

The one with Roshi. I think I remember reading the Maga and I saw a drawing similar to this. It was during the tournament saga like the twenty first or twenty second tournament

Don't buy anything they say it was made or signed by Toriyama, I got freinds into the collecting industry (Madhunter) and in many experiences they turn out to be fakes. Remember Toriyama was rich before creating dragon ball, he is not like the american comic artists that goes to conventions and signs stuff in exchange of money, he does not mind about selling his own art either, or he would have already done it.
