Various items from my personal collection, mainly from the mid 1970s to the late 1990s. I will do another gallery of various loose items I own as my collection of these items spans at least 4 decades and is always growing. I don't get to share them often and have too many, so I figured I'd do so here.
Many items range from manuscript pages to newsletters to correspondence. Each one will be accounted for as I go in the comment section etc. Each item will be shown with its proper scaling. Some were done on my old scanner and I no longer have them, but I did document them.
I will update this gallery as I digitize my collection (I have hundreds of ads, flyers, manuscripts and more). Descriptions for all items will be in the comment section.

Images 7 - 9:
★An invite and call for sale of Rio Yagizawa's personal Charma works with the circle Let's Play Around With Char. This was an invite only event and booklet advertised to and for members of the circle and their subscribers. There is correspondence on the back, but as it mentions certain names and topics, I've omitted that part. Acquired from M last year.
Images 10 - 11:
★One of the earliest drawings of Char and Amuro by Shio Sato (Simone Yotsuya). This work was never published and was never used in any form or fashion. This piece is ink and screentone on illustration paper. Given to M in the 1990s and acquired from him last year from M.
Images 12 - 13:
★A hand drawn illustration by Jin Yamaoka of Char Aznable, who attended the Aichi Insititute of Technology. This drawing was given away to Simone Yotsuya as she apparently attended the screenings and events at the Aichi Institute of Technology's animation festival in 1980. M also attended with Ren Kishida. Simone gave this to M in the 1990s as she was cleaning out her home and studio. Now in my personal collection.
Image 14:
★One of the last genuine Prince Heinel books made in the late 1980s going into the 1990s by the circle Royal Straight Flush. Artists of note included in this particular volume were CP Garlic and Mari Hibiki. Acquired from the estate of a former manga artist.
Image 15 - 16:
★A Captain Tsubasa ad for a doujin Kirei Sappari 2: I'm Crazy About You for New Years by the circle Dream Island. Circa 1984 - 1985. Acquired from the estate of a former manga artist.

Image 18:
★ A lithograph of Shio Sato and Ai Naniwa (as Setsu)'s collaborative drawing for Let's Play Around With Char's 'On the Battlefield'. This was more than likely given out to those who bought the book from their stall at Comiket. Acquired from Mandarake in the corresponding volume.
Image(s) 19 - 20:
★ A large scale poster for the circle A La Carte's Gundam Moonraker parody work, published in 1981. Acquired from M in 2024 during my Hyogo trip.
