but regardless, it's very very nice
VGA sticks it's name and reputation on it when they call something legitimate. If VGA calls it authentic it's as authentic as anything else they case and grade. If they were less sure, it would have come back rejected due to lack of evidence. They get my money either way so there is no incentive to call it authentic if they are 75% sure instead of 99.999%
don't get me wrong, i love vga - but this particular game, it could have been better off had they not touched it until a little more was known. i can't think of any other game, other than the new and weird sharedata chiller or the wally bear agci that, personally, I don't think should be graded until more is known. just my opionion and i absolutely love vga and what they do for the hobby. there are just those dark horses in any hobby.
what type of evidence did they use to authenticate gyromite? just curious, not arguing.
