They should let me grade...LOL

Minty means minty, dammit!


Haha I agree! I would sign the petition. You are the mint master.

That is the auction I won for anyone who cares.

Can't beat the price, though. Really probably in line with what I received. Kind if disappointing, though, when you are expecting a really nice copy.

If it is flawless, Dangevin, I do not see how you could get anything lower than a 95. Will post pictures of the flaws when I can just to give you an idea of what an "85" really is. ]]> VGA graded games on the Bay http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=3&threadid=7164 2008-04-28T21:12:27 -05.00 Nintendo Workshop 181
Here's something I've been thinking about.  If I had some super-rare sealed game, there's no way I would send it through the mail for this service.  Not only could it get lost or stolen en route, but it would be so easy for the game to incur even the slightest amount of damage on the way.  And if they're really being as picky as they claim they are, that would make it a lower grade (not to mention damage my super-rare sealed game).

On the other hand, it sounds like they're not being that picky, so I guess it doesn't matter :-S

I ended up getting it for the same price it would have gone for ungraded (maybe even slightly less) so I was happy. Today it arrives and if this is an 85, I have some games that are in the 95-100 range. Flaws all over the place on this "85" copy. Nowhere near mint. If someone described this as mint in an auction, I would either be sending it back or complaining. I feel bad for the person who paid $320 or so for the Castlevania 2 that is a "90". They just paid over double the value for a copy that probably is nothing special at all.

If this is how they grade games, I certainly will never use their service and I don't see why anyone would. Maybe I just got unlucky and received a game that received a significantly higher grade than it should have (this should be a 70, MAYBE a 75 at most), but I will be avoiding graded games unless it is something I REALLY need (and even then, I will take the grade with a grain of salt and certainly not pay any extra for the case. The case IS pretty nice, though). ]]> VGA graded games on the Bay http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=3&threadid=7164 2008-04-15T02:27:37 -05.00 Nintendo Workshop 181 VGA graded games on the Bay http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=3&threadid=7164 2008-04-15T02:24:23 -05.00 Nintendo Workshop 181 Originally posted by: projectingstars

DW4 sealed would bring in over 1k.




So would DW3, FFF AW, DK Jr Math and the obvious others noted above. 

A New Big Box Gyromite, BB2, DK3, Mario Bros Arcade, Bonks Adventure, Little Samson, Wrecking Crew, Zelda and a few others could possibly reach over 1k on a good day being graded
