ARVÉ GRADED COLLECTIBLES JAPAN Reconstructing the Value of Collections™ About ARVÉ GRADED COLLECTIBLES JAPAN
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.
Description
This listing is for Gu Gu Ganmo Vol.8 (First Printing, 1983), professionally graded by CBCS with a final grade of 6.5.
Gu Gu Ganmo, created by Fujihiko Hosono and published in the early 1980s, became a beloved comedic series in Japan. Due to its age and limited overseas distribution, professionally graded copies of this manga—especially verified first prints—are rarely found outside Japan.
