Kodoani.com – Beckett Collectibles announced plans to expand its service on January 10, officially opening its doors to the world of manga. The company will expand its assortment and authentication to include manga works, from established names like Dragon Ball Z and One Piece to emerging works like Demon Slayer and more. This grading process evaluates the condition and authenticity of each manga volume, providing a score and quality rating on a clear label.
Bill Sutherland, Head of Manga at Beckett, commented on the decision, saying it is an important step forward in revolutionizing the way Manga collectors interact with their collections. He also emphasized Beckett's commitment to preserving and enhancing the value of collectibles, ensuring that collectors have absolute confidence in the quality and authenticity of their holdings.
In the context of the explosion in manga sales from 2019 until now, with 2022 sales reaching 35.7 million copies, Beckett's decision seems to be correct and timely. They are also offering custom label artwork for graded manga, with a variety of themes from anime and manga to choose from, like cherry blossoms and speed, for variety and personalization for manga lovers.
Currently, this service costs between $30 and $50, depending on whether you choose standard grading or expedited grading. This gives collectors more flexibility to ensure the authenticity and quality of their manga assets.
