That's some insane price. Saw a couple of . mint/LN ones sold lately for around that price.

What’s the market value for a legit Japan Racing?

Depends where you are - all the ones I’ve seen in the UK for sale are around £11k, when I was in Tokyo they were around £9k (although that was when the £ had a dreadful exchange rate)

Oh and because we can never have too many photos 😉

A local reseller is selling one for USD10K.

Has box but no papers.

Am hesitant because is it not thru the papers that it can be validated as a real Japan Racing?

Ideally yes you need the cards, but you could also get an extract if the seller is willing to hold onto it for you, while you do - here’s the extract I recently got for mine

Are all Japan Racing dials from 2004?

I believe so for this LE run - I understand they made 2004 of them so it would make sense that these were made and sold in 2004. I’ve not seen any from other years, but I’m sure others will chip in if that’s not the case.

There is an earlier run from 1969 but these are rarer than hens teeth and will require you to sell your first born....
