ARVÉ GRADED COLLECTIBLES JAPAN is a Japan-based curator specializing in graded collectibles such as comics, manga, video games, cameras, and other long-term investment pieces.
Our base of operations is Hokkaido, Japan – one of the least humid regions in the country. This low-humidity environment greatly reduces the risk of mold, paper warping, and other humidity-related damage, making it ideal for preserving high-grade collectibles.
We have a proven track record of submitting coins and other collectibles to major grading companies and selling graded items worldwide, and now apply that expertise to manga and games.
Our mission is to reconstruct the value of collections and curate items for future collectible potential.
This listing is for Mitsume ga Tooru Vol.4 (First Printing, 1976), professionally graded by CBCS with a final grade of 6.5.
Mitsume ga Tooru, created by legendary manga pioneer Osamu Tezuka, stands as one of the key works of Japan’s foundational manga period. First-print volumes from the 1970s were heavily read and rarely preserved, making slabbed examples uncommon in the global collector market.
