video game addict Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I was sealed but I cut the top with the exacto knife so I could play! I think this trend has been ongoing for a little while now. It's funny most of these sealed rated games are actually pretty commonly found sealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I was sealed but I cut the top with the exacto knife so I could play! I despise the whole "grading" phenomenon, not just for computer/video games, but in its entirety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really hasn't hit the Atari 2600 world yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thanatos Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 nice racket for the grading company Bingo! Pay to get your stuff graded by self-appointed 'experts', and then try selling it for 3x the actual worth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiliteZoner Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 http://www.vggrader.com/ There have been examples in other collecting circles where repros have gotten past the so called grading experts and passed off as original. I am not saying it has happened with these guys, but it may only be a matter of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I haven't seen any of these graded games sell for the atari 2600. Have they sold for the NES? yep, a simple boxed tetris in VGA 85 condition went for $80 USD the other day. A game otherwise worth about $10.

I think it's worth it. I plan on sending off around 10 game to get graded soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
