I know they check all contents to ensure 100% complete and somehow verify its not played. The white line crease or crease in general is what has pushed a few famicom games I've graded to qualified.

VGA can grade sealed and complete but open. If the contents are all there, VGA will grade is as a qualified grade instead of a real sealed. If you look on ebay there are a few examples of these. They will say qualified on the label at the bottom from VGA. Some sellers unfortunately will list these as brand new VGA never used sealed items when in fact they have been opened. If all the contents are in this, VGA could get this a qualified grade.
 

Incorrect. VGA grades brand new games that are opened of which would be complete and those get the qualified distinction. 
 

Actually I was still correct. I stated they grade sealed games and for a qualified they have been open. I was not saying that it means being used and the contents open but I meant the box iteself had been opened  (unsealed). Guess I should of worded it better. 

I just get annoyed when sellers on ebay ( and there are a ton but I am not listing names) post their vga items as brand new sealed VGA grades and hide the fact thats its qualified.

Why not pay the $35.00 to get it graded? That way you have an answer.

Always buying copies of Crystal Mine. Carts, manuals, boxes, CIB and sealed I want them all.

Reasonable doubt plays in favor of the current owner. This is a game of hot potato. The one who sends it off for grading can never get rid of it as a sealed game.

Because that makes to much sense. Stop doing that!

if a game is opened and played and then put back in its box and resealed, does it make a sound?

no white line crease.....until VGA opens the box and it puts a white line crease......HA!

This qualified thing has always baffled me. For a qualifed game what I hear most often is that the game has to be never played? If that is so then even if there is a Madden 96 inside this reseal the buyer could take these steps to save his ass.

First find a sealed Zombies regular edition (in poor shape even).
Then remove the guts. Pairing the unplayed Zombies cart and instructions book from the regular edition with this box.

This is why I don't agree with qualified grades.
