I would agree that 99% of people that are willing to pay the kind of prices VGA graded games bring will never ever think of opening them.

On the other hand, I remember reading about a Nintendo collector who had to sell their sealed NES games, I think it was NES, and did so locally to some rich guy. It was probably like a 1000 USD sale or something for maybe 10 games??? I don't remember the numbers so well but anyways rich guy was buying the games for his 9 - 10 year old son who he brought with him. Rich guy pays for the games and then hands 10 sealed games to son. Son proceeds to open every single game in front of collector, collector proceeds to lose his mind....
Good games are ment to be played anyway. I do see why people collect sealed games but it just seems so freeking silly to me the games are ment to be played so why not leave it at that.

That's why you buy 1 to play and 1 to keep sealed
