Cosmic said it best:
they are very expensive. i will agree. but in all honesty it does not seem like too much money for the actual service. its the price of them after they are graded that people want for them that is the pain in the ass.

Default Re: Thoughts on Graded Games

I understand the reasons why people are against grading but i actually am getting some of my favourite games graded myself for a few reasons


- i like the look of a sealed game in a case as i am a sealed collector
- to protect my games. You would not believe how many times i have accidentally damaged a CE or game either mishandling or not storing properly. Just yesterday i damaged a CE
- to highlight how mint some of my games are. A lot of people say mint but this isnt always the case. I know there is inconsistency with grading but a grade of 90+ shows something is mint

i agree. the look go them in that case is sick. i used to not keep my games sealed but recently i have been. i just like that to be able to put on display. when i handle most mine i wear rubber gloves (especially with my art prints) call me crazy for doing so but it helps.
