Hey everyone — I’ve been hearing two totally different takes about Arita graded autos and wanted to get some clarity. (1) Some people say it’s better to have lower cert numbers since those were graded before the Covid boom and before all the fake autos slipped through. (2) Others say newer certs (…

I’d highly recommend option (3) Arita does plenty of signings so if you’re patient enough, try and get one done yourself. That way you know it’s 100% legit and don’t need to worry about all the noise in between

Thanks so much for all the replies, everyone! I completely agree — ideally, I’d love to get an Arita signature in person.
