Orri, I've made my stance on that public many times. I have no interest in selling my collection. If I ever do sell it, barring the unforeseen, it will be decades from now. Grading really doesn't help me one bit since I'm not cashing out and, as I've also stated previously, I wish it wasn't here yet. But it is. So what's better, for them to come along, screw it up to hell and start grading reseals, or for me to try and get involved at least a little bit to try and give them a helping hand?
The way I look at it anybody who ever had a clue knew this day was coming sooner or later anyways. In today's collectible markets, grading rules the day and hate it or not you basically can't get away from it. I would have liked for the inevitable grading service to start many years from now when the hobby is more mature, but what are you going to do. Its here now.

Sorry Jason but that's a load of BS. Take a comic book. If its missing page 13, and the seller doesn't tell you, a scan of the front cover doesn't exactly help. If its been expertly restored a scan doesn't help. You still need to see it in person and the same is true for games, I don't care how many or how good the pics are. You can take a 1000 photos and certain defects still won't come to light until you have it in your hot little hands. Furthermore, its the seller taking the pics not you. If the seller takes crappy pics or takes them in a manner to deliberately hide or minimize an existing flaw, those pics don't do crap for you. If that black box game has been resealed convincingly with magic marker color touch and all that, the pics don't help. Certainly pictures are better than descriptions. But the availability of pictures does not take away the need to see the item in person. I've bought many a game that looked good in pics and was not what it was cracked up to be.

That's obvious. What I meant is all things being equal, condition is constant. Barring an external variable (sunlight, moisture, droppage, shrinkwrap crushing, etc), the condition of the item won't change. The value, however, will - regardless.
The condition of your sealed Wolverine (which is very nice, BTW) won't change unless it's exposed to negative, external stimuli. The value of it will be affected over that same period of time, even though the item remains unchanged.
Its the dramatic increase in value that allows for this grading business opportunity. That's what we're talking about here - condition and value. If the condition never changes, but the value does, then there's money to be made by those who are willing to capitalize on the increase in value.
That's what I meant.
