Frost271, that CV2 is sick man. I remember you being dissapointed with "only" a 90 grade, but hopefully you see now that 90's are simply gorgeous.   Sorry the FF games aren't for sale   Unless you have eleventy billion dollars, that is.

Dan, so you have that 95 Dracula X. That's the highest grade I've ever seen for an SNES game.

And yes, the lowest scores you'll probably see are around 60-70 I bet. Like tuxedocivic says, if you know it's in horrible conditon, then there's no point of getting it graded unless it's an uber rare game and/or to verifying the authenticity of the factory seal.


your right. VGA 90's are hard to get.  I was disappointed and that was only a couple weeks ago!! Funny how you learn so much as a collector in such a short period of time.

i remember brians toys selling that dracula x for a grand a few months back.. you end up being the one that got it? ... obviously?

also... no one has given props to that 85 super copa...that is badass.

I got a sealed PAL B finnish Asterix, includes a multilingual manual and a finnish one. Bet there's not a lot of those around.

I figured as much, but it was a curious question anyway.

How does a DS game only get a 95? Those cases are immune to everything.

the 100 grade is practically justa concept. they'd be looking hard for a reason however slight to not hand out a 100

-------------------------

WTB Cdn sealed black boxes, sealed Cdn first party titles.    I.e. the "mattel" Cdn boxes with both french and english.   Mainly black boxes, zelda, link, and tyson, but let me know what you have.    I am interested in anything I don't already have!

RB, are those for sale? Just kidding, nice stuff. To those who were wondering earlier from a different thread, this SML 100 is the only 100 cardboard box graded game that I know of.

Amazing stuff, rarebucky. I personally don't deal in sealed stuff, but I love seeing all these amazing games in this thread.

What are the grades on the Challenge Set and SNES Control Set? Unless I'm missing it somewhere, I can't see them.

Yeah, sorry, on the larger systems the grading labels are on the side. The SNES is 85+ and the NES Challenge Set is 85.

Rarebucky...that Super Mario Land 100 is just beyond words.

Thanks guys Fris - the answer would be yes, because the items are larger. The way they look at it is a % of the item with flaws. So, one slightly worn/dinged corner on a console could still yield it a 90 (assuming everything else was pristine) yet on a SNES game that same flaw could get it a 80/85. Similarly GB games are extremely tough to get above 85 on because the games are so small that even the tiniest flaw can ding it to 85.
