What it concludes

Manga grading is an arbitrary and meaningless trend compared to card grading because books are printed and bound separately, resulting in inherent flaws.
Grading companies like Beckett and PSA inflated manga prices through coordinated marketing campaigns and high-profile purchases by influencers like Logan Paul.
The surge in graded manga values relies on artificial market manipulation similar to 'wash trading' rather than genuine collector demand.
