my very first game from VGA.... Back in '96 I saved up all my allowance to pick this title up with a Game Boy Pocket. Found this sealed on eBay and decided to grab it as a first time submission to see what VGA was all about. I was hopeful, but ultimately had a feeling this one was going to fall short of gold... I was right, but I'm still quite happy!
now for the real fun (submission #2)... I recently found a bunch of sealed titles pop up at a store in town. Since having just caught the VGA bug I decided to pick up one of the nicest sealed games I've ever come across in the wild. (a childhood favorite, despite how crappy a game it is). Honestly I can't complain, but it's crazy how hard a 95+ must be, I thought this thing was completely perfect, still very happy though...
Nice, 95 is really a spectacular grade on a NES game. That is case fresh, same quality as the nicest copies fresh out of a factory case. Factory cases still produce anywhere from 85+ to 90+ too though, 95s aren't even guaranteed from there.

Good point, yeah 95 is on the higher end of stuff I've seen. I wish it was a more rare or valuable title, but I'm happy to have a game/movie I grew up with for the nostalgia factor. It definitely looks sharp!
Sweet grade on the HA2. Damn hard to get that as others have said. As far as 95s there is an Iron Tank and i think a few others that were out of cases but lame titles.

Looking for VGA NES, SNES and more, have cash and many VGA to trade!
“Well, there is actual loss of cardboard in a spot or two”
I posted one of these recently but I just got back the rest of my set from the VGA. Sealed PC collections is nowhere near as expensive as consoles, but finding these sealed is HARD. For some reason very few people collect for both consoles and PCs but I love both.
Morrowind CE came back graded incorrectly and I'm going to see if I can get it corrected. The VGA will grade autographed items as Qualified but this one is also factory sealed and should have a non Qualified grade.

Those are amazing, man!
I love the Elder Scroll games, and would especially love to have a sealed Daggerfall. Loved that game as a kid.
wow, look at the high grade on that Metroid,
must be nice to have such a VGA'd holy grail,
better keep that thing somewhere safe, like a bank fault

My one and only, but is a personal grail for myself. Saw it pop up December 2015 when scanning new listings for $25 BIN on eBay, bought immediately. Messaged the seller, said she got it at an estate sale the day before, assured me she would send it well protected. Arrived in an old 56k modem box with no padding around the game, just banging around inside the box. I've always wondered if that caused any additional wear on it, but I guess I will never know.
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!
