Earlier this month I was in Dallas for A-Kon<\/a>. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been going to this con \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. for a while. The past few years I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really bought anything in the dealer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s room mainly because nothing screams out to me. This year was a little different. While making an obligatory pass though the room I spotted a table selling, among other things, a large number of old anime CDs from the 80\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and 90\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s<\/a>. They were used of course, but all appeared to be in great shape all things considered.<\/p>\n

To my joyous surprise, I found amongst this lot a number of older CDs I had been looking for since I had actually sold off my copies way back in the early 90\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. The most notable of these were volume 3 and 4 of the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcAnime Hot Wave\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/a> series. This was basically a compilation series of anime opening songs from the late 80\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and early 90\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s.\u00c2\u00a0 You can see the rest here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now for the other shoe to drop. While I was grabbing up these treasures before anyone else could see what was there, I realized that there was a lot of older stuff so I asked the person working the table where the collection came from. He indicated that this was all from one person\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s personal collection. A little surprised, I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let my mind think it out before I asked why they were selling such an obviously great collection. The person at the table then informed me that the owner had recently died in a car accident.\u00c2\u00a0 At that point I felt rather vulture-like as I held a couple dozen CDs in hand like I had just won the lotto. However after the fact it was brought to my attention that if it were me (who had died and whose collection was being sold off) wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t I want my stuff to go to someone who would really treasure these items? I had to take a moment before realizing that yes that would be the case.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!!<\/p>\n
