When you buy video games for your collection from a person you know and/or have done business with in the past, then you can probably blindly trust their judgement is a certain item is in 'mint' condition. However if you look at some clowns at e.g. eBay who claim that item 'x' is in mint condition, while in reality the item is in a utter shit condition, then you will start to understand why there is a market for a grading company like VGA.

For the games I collect I don't feel the need for a VGA graded edition, however IF I was going to spend €200,- or more on a game (for collecting, not playing) then HELL YEAH I would prefer a VGA graded edition.
Yeah, but then the price would not be 200. It would probably be a lot more.
