Grading stuff that isn't an old comic has always been a turnoff to me, but since there isn't really a market for acrylic slabs for display purposes for manga, I can see some niche use cases for displaying a first print Vol. 1 of your favorite series. The numbers are pretty arbitrary, but this company also allows for slabbing only with no grading. It's pretty expensive either way though. But just like everything else in the graded industry, your collections should be read/used/played first above all else before you consider getting anything graded.

Thanks for doing this in-depth review about the grading process! It was interesting to see! I don't have any manga in my collection that's special or rare( and Im poor😅) so I probably wouldn't use this type of service, but I do think it's cool for people to have this kind of thing available to use if they have the means and the need 😊 keep up the good work manga sloth!

This was interesting to watch and appreciate you sharing your experience!

While I do think the very idea of slabbing up a manga is an odd thing to do, I could potentially see the appeal if you got a special edition or a volume that could be considered a collectors item. I do like the fact that it is not like too crazy expensive.

I suddenly feel like I need my favorite manga graded..

Thats new info for me 😮 but its really interesting that I could consider some day

I’m gonna do this, I’ve done it with comics and cards before 💯🔥

Thank you for sharing this! Like you shared having manga signed by Mangeka creators or VA getting graded would be fun! Having it protected and admired in the collection❤️

When I first heard of this I thought it was a horrible idea. I still don’t see a purpose in terms of the actual grading or for people trying to resell them for insane prices but as a collector I think it’s nice to have those really special volumes you just want to look at and keep perfect. I too have double copies of some volumes because I have one for reading and another for collecting and keeping in good condition so for that reason alone this might be an okay idea

I don't have the income to justify this but it cool to have the option for it. I mostly read digital so it whatever to me. I think people are missing that people collect for different reasons. One being just to have it and look at it.

This is my first time hearing about graded manga, personally wouldn’t do it, but I can see why some manga collectors would grade their manga.

SOOO AMAZING!!! i want some graded manga OMG!!

The P.O.D. Shirt 🤘

Question: have you read the angel next door that spoils me rotten? It’s so good!

Could you do an indepth guide on how to send mangas to beckett?

What sizes do they grade I have a bezerk book I want graded

Im planning on ordering volume 4 of boy's abyss and volume's 5&6 of dai dark on the 16th. And i got to go out to my nans to pick to vol 20 of edenzero and the 1st dai dark boxset with volume's 1,2,3&4 in it.

Just as I thought this will help manga more than hinder it... already your misprint has become Special and has created intrigue, how many people will have one ?, How many are there existing ?. This is how it is supposed to work, the intended purpose is to preserve something special in a high quality and this brings notoriety to the hobby by spotlighting the desirable or personal. I have commented this on a different channel, but this will bring an increased interest to Manga, it is an added level of fandom creating conversation and excitement around the collector community. It will not affect 99% of Manga only the 1% that are unique. Anything that adds eyes & sales helps the industry and its continued survival, this will freshen up a slowly stagnating Manga online fandom by create a whole new video content & conversational era with an actively involved fanbase just like comics has. I wanna say "Thank You" not only to Sloth but to the real guy behind that mask, you did the brave thing and will be remembered for it. The first collector to properly cover the Slabbed & Graded Manga on KZfaq not just following the mob but seeing further beyond the crowd.

Definitely not for me, but if I got some mangaka signatures I would consider it.

2 question, is it the website that grade the manga? And if i understand it correctly was it possible to get my manga Signed from a author?

Way to spoil the death of Eran Yager 😂

Why would I want to have manga that I can't read?

If I do this they'll all be Japanese since there the Originals

Yooo

I’m not a fan of grading or anything that takes a hobby and makes it into a hype / money grab situation. I can see the positives about doing it for displaying the manga, but then it would be good if it had som UV protection too. These felt a bit to unprofessional to me, the manga doesn’t look centered and the text to the right looks like a random thought. Why write “Death” of Eren Yeager on the AoT one lol. And is that text going to be consistent for everyone that sends in that volume or will they make up a new one then?

This is kinda dumb, like stores don't even wrap manga in plastic when they sell them, they're just there on the shelves, it's very rare to get manga in near mint condition, unlike trading cards that are always well protected and are always mint when you open the packs. They're books and you're supposed to read them.

This is crazy. But i would use it 💀

At first I hated the idea. But, now I'm kinda in the middle. I, like you, don't really see this affecting the second hand market all that much. I do hope this pushes publishers to push out more special volume releases/variants. I'm still on the fence, I have a couple volumes that are special to me that I'd like to slab or a variant cover of a volume, etc.

Great video! I think it’s a fun idea to slab some manga that means a lot! It would look super cool on the shelf. Unfortunately, the manga I would want to get slabbed is the very first manga that I bought but it’s a 3-in-1 volume. Thanks for sharing this grading experience with us!! 🫶🏼💕

I didn't know this was a this for manga

Yeah buddy those look really nice. 😮

imo especially grading manga is very silly, I understand for content creators to do it because its content but for the average person there is no need for it

Great video as always. Everyone’s got things they like and things they don’t, that’s why there is variety. I like the thought of having special manga up on display without worrying about it getting damaged. The grading however is a bit odd to me Btw, that background looks absolutely fantastic. I’ve been trying to make a shelf like that myself but don’t know what u used?

Another brilliant manga clip, ferocious unboxing from Mr. Master Sloth

Glad to see someone grade manga. I'm used to comic grading but great video 🦥

ugh I honestly feel the grading process is just a waste of money & moreover annoying like when grading retro videogames ruined the retro gaming market

Massive L, the fact that you're doing this is just telling the company people are going to grade manga making ungraded oop stuff more expensive.

Why would you spend 25 dollars to get a 10 dollar manga graded and you can't read it. This whole idea is stupid and Beckett block people who call them out on it 😂

Censoner

Bruh take this video down… now. Grading manga?, massive L bro unsubbed

Would it be worth sending in something thats like 10k and you literally can't find it anymore? Like you can try searching for 8 years and will never find it? Cause I kinda want something I have rare slabbed like this, but the risk of losing it by some sticky fingers at the grading company makes me go.... ehhhh not worth it... For reals you can find rare American Comics. Action Comics 1st appearance of Superman? Sure no problem and that's rare.... you can't find what I have in manga form lol. It took me a good 8 years and it wasn't even online, some mom n pop shop with treasures from the past. After acquiring it I still haven't been able to find another 1 besides someone selling the entire volume set. They don't exists, they are not out there for sale lol.
