Would they give it a super low number but still grade it or just reject it. Like say you had a game that was perfect and then someone stepped on the box and damaged it. Would they still grade it if you sent it in? Or would they just tell you that it isn't worth it? I don't collect sealed but I would be so damn picky that I would always be afraid that I wouldn't get at least an 85+ so I would be too afraid to buy.
I saw that Paul had a graded SMB that said 10 for a grade but it was an avatar pic so I didn't know if that was REAL or Photoshopped ( and I never thought to ask him about it.)
EDIT: I also wanted to say that I think this is a really good and cool idea for a sticky thread you have here, Tom. It makes it easy for a sealed/vga noob like myself to get a better understanding of how the VGA thing works and get my questions answered by proxy through other members who are active in the sealed world. Maybe someday I will venture into this territory after I finish my loose collection and get the games I really love sealed and graded, and then I will know how it all works!
Yes as long as it is an authentic Factory Seal they will grade it. I think the reason you see mostly 75 and aboves is because if the game is that beat most people won't grade it. Gold is great but personally I think anything in the 80 and up will display nicely. Heck my Mega Man 1 is 75 and I still think it looks nice.
