Kudos to the VGA people though. They actually managed to trick morons into paying them good money for a cheap plastic coffin and useless sticker.

VGA simply gives you higher grades the more you pay- for additional deeper researching costs wink wink...

Classifications are always subjective no matter what number or name you give it. That being said, there are people who spend a lot of time learning what differentiates a "like new" from a "near mint" to a "mint" etc. If you don't agree with the condition the seller listed it as, you have the right as a buyer to a refund.

Not like that matters. No one who buys that is going to play it, or even open it. It might as well be filled with rocks.

>you're going to pay top dollar for something that neither you, nor anyone else, will ever open lest the "value" be forever ruined

Can I just make a really convincing counterfeit of a "rare" game box in a VGA plastic slab? How many times could I get away with this before someone caught on? Would they ever?

There's a scam here somewhere, and not just the most obvious one. I can almost taste it.

I'd guess that you'll get some paperwork too from the grader. So you'd have to fake those too.

But not sure, just seems silly if you only get some plastic case and sticker.

Fucking pathetic. Grading nuked the toy market, and it'll ruin the game collecting market too.
