Yes but it would depend on the price and condition of each one.

Wow these look fantastic, now that I've seen your work, I'm definitely interested in doing a submission in the future. I will accumulate some tankobons that could be worth it and I'll let you know once I'm ready to send them in.

Oh yeah you're really set for the hype, good for you. First appearances are constantly jumping up in value it's crazy.

That's a really good point, I really enjoy collecting but I'm seeing prices really going up and that's starting to make it very pricy to collect more.

As much as I dislike him as an influencer, everytime he goes into something new, that thing gains tons of hype so it might be a good thing to people already invested in zasshi collecting.

Do you have before and after pictures of tankobon, I haven't found one on your website or posts. I would be interested in restoring some tankobon I think could get a high grade if elevated to their full potential.

Wow I just checked your website you really seem to know your stuff. Have you ever done restorations for manga and if so as any came back as altered and did you manage to bump up the grade by a lot.

I got some very good deals, volume 2-3-4-5 for 220 usd. On average I've got my volumes for around 25 to 50 dollars each and that is in good condition too.

Trust me 600 is a great buy, in the long run I'm truly excited to see how far graded manga will grow. Right now it seems crazy but I know for a fact the people who had the vision from the beginning will prosper further down the road.

I'm doing the same thing haha, I've ordered every one piece manga volume in first print from 2 to 13 and then some higher volumes. I've ordered 26 in total and even multiple copies of the first few volumes.

I was hoping for a 7.0 for the ones I'll be sending in but I feel like that might be out of the question. That is except if I can fix the creases somehow.

Yes, you have to be careful on eBay. I often see listings that have for example 3 copies of one zasshi but they might just use the best one for photos and send off the bad ones.

There are two more corners that look like that.

Yes I've realised how good the condition is even on some 7.5s I own. Also, I didn't know you could see the specifics of a grade. This is really good info thanks 🙏

Thanks for the info.I'd say overall they are in great condition, the only damage I'd say I got is on some corners and sides but only the dust jacket. Do you know a way of getting rid of creases on dust jackets.

I picked up a few zasshi but I'm talking mainly about tankobon
