Beckett Collectibles has announced it is introducing Manga Grading Service, a move that marks a significant development in the Manga grading landscape. This not only positions Beckett as an industry leader but also opens up a pioneering opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. With this latest offering, Manga collectors can now safeguard, display, and take pride in their collections with a renewed sense of assurance.

It reflects Beckett’s commitment to preserving and elevating the value of collectibles, instilling unwavering confidence in collectors regarding the quality and authenticity of their cherished items,” remarked Bill Sutherland, Head of Beckett Manga. Bill further stated, “Manga enthusiasts now have the opportunity to enjoy the same level of protection and authenticity that Beckett has long provided to collectors.”
The global popularity of Japanese-style comics has fueled a remarkable growth in the Manga industry. According to 2022 reports, graphic novel and adult comic sales reached an all-time high of 35.7 million copies. Manga sales have quadrupled since 2019, outpacing the total print book market by 27 times, and Beckett is poised to ride this wave of enthusiasm.

With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
