ARVÉ GRADED COLLECTIBLES JAPAN is a Japan-based curator specializing in graded collectibles such as comics, manga, video games, cameras, and other long-term collectible pieces.
Our base of operations is Hokkaido, Japan – one of the least humid regions in the country. This low-humidity environment helps reduce the risk of mold, paper warping, and other humidity-related damage, making it well suited for preserving high-grade collectibles.
We have experience submitting collectibles to major grading companies and selling graded items worldwide, and now apply that experience to manga, games, and other collectible categories.
Our mission is to reconstruct the value of collections and curate items for future collectible potential.

ARVÉ Condition Rank applies exclusively to ungraded comics and manga. It is our own seller-defined classification system used to distinguish selected raw copies based on their history, preservation, and observed condition.
S Rank — A specially managed copy obtained new, with its handling and storage controlled by us since purchase.
A Rank — A pre-owned copy that we consider to be in particularly good condition and suitable for our Premium RAW classification.
Standard — All other ungraded copies. Standard items do not receive a rank designation in the listing title.
S Rank and A Rank are reserved for selected ungraded copies that meet our higher condition standards.
S Rank copies are obtained new, allowing us to manage their handling and storage from the time of purchase.
A Rank copies are pre-owned, so their handling history before acquisition is unknown. However, they are individually selected based on their observed condition and are carefully handled and stored by us after acquisition.
Based on our own experience submitting manga for professional grading, we follow a minimal-handling approach for both S Rank and A Rank copies.
When a first printing designation is stated in the listing, it has been personally verified by checking the colophon. After verification, we avoid unnecessary opening or handling.
To help preserve the item's current condition, we generally do not remove the dust jacket solely for photography or unnecessarily open the book to photograph interior pages.
Our photographs are intended to show the exterior condition from multiple angles while minimizing unnecessary handling. Please review all photos carefully and make your own assessment of the condition.
ARVÉ Condition Rank is an internal seller-defined classification and is not a grade assigned by BGS, CGC, PSA, CBCS, or any other professional grading company.
An S Rank or A Rank designation does not represent, predict, or guarantee any specific numerical grade or grading result. Professional grading companies independently evaluate each item according to their own standards, and the final result may differ from our assessment.
Please carefully review all listing photographs and make your own assessment of the item's condition before purchasing or submitting it for professional grading.
