The year is 2046. Pat the Wii Warrior goes to the flea market, meeting Robo Frank 2.0 along the way. In a bin next to the Avengers 7 Red-Ray is the sealed $1.5 million dollar Super Mario 64 - marked down to $19.99 Bezos Bucks.

That was excessive and prick like. Who the hell remembers odd names of Japanese video game creators? I barely know any American game creators, and I'm a hardcore "game person" for 35 years. Sometimes I feel bad for Pat, as it seems he wants Ian for a friend, and is always getting rejected by him. Ian just seems to despise Pat outside if the podcast. A lot of loathing, and snide comments on Ian's end.

​@@oppyh They seem to get along most of the time, but their personalities definitely clash in certain instances. Ian seems more knowledgeable about video games, and Pat seems more knowledgeable about business and practical matters of moves in the industry. Pat is the ego-driven go-getter and Ian is the more introverted intellectual. I think Ian gets most annoyed when Pat treats him like an employee more than an equal partner. Pat seems frustrated when Ian doesn't contribute in ways that he expects him to, but he usually makes a joke about it rather than show frustration, which gets under Ian's skin.

Having a sealed alpha box of magic the gathering not only is rare but it assures it hasn't been tampered with so no one found a way to open it up, open the packs, take out the black lotus and seal it all back.

If you can't explain the value of something then the value isn't real. We can explain why a game has artistic or historic value. In some special case, we can even make a case that it's very rare. But no one can explain why a grade should inflate the value of an item 10x 100x or even over 1000x. If you're investing in graded collectibles, you need to think about that.
@BainesMkII
@BainesMkII 2 года назад
Grade in theory is a guarantee of physical quality, and physical quality very much affects value. People don't question that a "Very Fine" 9.0 Graded copy of Action Comics #1 might sell for 15x what you'd get for a "Good" 2.0 Graded copy, because the grade represents the physical condition. People also wouldn't question an ungraded copy selling for less than the 9.0 copy, because the 9.0 copy has (at least in theory) been judged by authorities to be of 9.0 grade, while the ungraded copy could be hiding anything number of value-lowering factors behind its cover. As for the value of art, at a personal level it is entirely subjective while at larger levels it can start to fall into vested interests and scam/collusion territory.
@juannunez5767
@juannunez5767 2 года назад
@@BainesMkII ​ In theory, the function of a grading system is to guarantee a certain standard for physical quality, but in practice there isn't a true standard to judge physical quality. It's all totally subjective. I'm familiar with the coin market, which is very old and as been using grades since the 1980's It's pretty common practice for people to resubmit the same coin for grading multiple times inorder to get the best grade possible because the grading is up to whoever is grading. If you sell coins to a dealer, the dealer will always ignore the grade and judge the coin themselves when determining the price. Grading isn't even a guarantee of authenticity since slabs can be faked. You can buy them off Aliexpress. Items need to be authenticated everytime even if graded. In practice, a graded copy of Action Comics #1 sells for more than ungraded copy because it's a graded copy. Not because the grade itself serves any real function. There is no real guarantee.

I wonder whether we will see games getting ungraded or unsealed to raise the values of the copies that have been sold at a very high price. I mean if you are rich enough to buy that 1.5 mill copy, you can probably buy some more copies if they get really cheap comparatively (like 20 or 30k) and just basically destroy them to raise the value of your game. Unless there is an basically endless supply of sealed copies in fantastic condition, which might well be the case. There could easily be hundreds or thousands out there.

Funny enough on sealed Dreamcast: I pick-up sealed intact PAL /EU Dreamcast games when I see a decent deal because the case is beautiful but also very fragile (just opening the case a few times likely damages it). It’s also relatively cheap (most games are in that 20-60$ range, and then the heavies are worth more). Certainly has nothing to do with the WATA craze or any investing - they just have heavy nostalgia to me and are unique items compared to any other video game case I’ve seen.

They artificially tried to raise the price of a game with a fake auction then are surprised when no one want to buy it off them for more? I could have understand when it was some of the rarest games that had ver few copies produced going for high prices just because it is practically one of a kind to still be in near perfect condition. However to think people will believe the value of three of the most common games are worth more is proof they never thought it through very well as there are multiple versions of those games in near perfect condition going for a fraction of what they were sold for. This is obviously thinking the name on the box is worth more than the rarity of the actual games.

And he claimed to test out the authenticity by getting a sample new game resealed. The games were sealed and not tampered with, but, in Nor Cal, the veterans all know they can reseal them and nobody can tell.

Valuable art is unique, the original copy or close to it, and is still more than just rarity. The value of the Mona List is not the shape, and it's not even *entirely* the art, it's the reputation of that thing. Wikipedia notes it became famous in art circles in the mid 19th century, but even then the public wasn't familiar it. The Mona Lisa didn't reach the status as the most famous painting in the world until the early 20th century when it was stolen for two years. While it's an amazing work, that extra history has value. There are plenty of unique works by artists now and past with little value. You can make one right now! Old comics that have high value are simply hard to find as a whole. Action Comics #1 in any shape has value. The best quality copy of X-Men #1 isn't worth anything. One of the most common video games ever in a really nice box is not special. There could literally be a pallet of these somewhere lost no one has discovered waiting to be graded by someone to slowly sink the market.

It's worth noting that even population reports aren't fully accurate because people will break open cases and resubmit things if they aren't happy with a grade.

@MREHUSTLER3043 2 года назад
I can only imagine that if population reports were being published then seal cracking for a new grade would be less common because that would artificially inflate the number of copies know to exist and that would drive the value down faster.
@SkateSoup
@SkateSoup 2 года назад
Beyond the shills pumping their grading company's stuff, the VGA 95 selling for 1/3-1/4 of the price of the WATA proves the people buying this stuff don't know shit about the games and grading and are just chasing the headline. Speculators just going "it's that exact thing in that exact slab, I'll have one of those", and when you speculate with zero information about the commodity you're going into, 99 times out of 100 you're gonna lose a ton of money.

You're missing the point about the most crazy and perhaps shady aspect of the Sonic copy. It's graded at 9.4 yet it has obvious tears and damage of the "seal" which by any stretch of the imagination makes that grade look completely fake. This seems to be a blatant attempt to pump up the value of Sega games and jump on the Nintendo inflated price bandwagon without even making a pretense at realistic grading.

Unwrap it and put it in a protector... if possible. I've had to do a little work on sealed boxes because the shrink straight up damaged the box.

Best deal I ever got was 6/7 years ago my dad picked up a mint (but not sealed) copy of A Link to the Past on the snes for 50 pence (less than a $). Box, manual, map all immaculate. Can't believe how the price of my gamecube and even ps2 games are going for! Into rpgs so even my copy of the likes of Sword of Etheria seems to be rising weekly. Problem being I love my games so not selling.

thing is, when the first copy drops by 600,000 dollars, it psychologically hurts the game's image and people will know that the game isnt that hot. thus making them pay less and less when they realize more of those copies can circulate the market at any time. its kinda like trading cards where everyone's getting all hyped up and overpays, then all of the sudden somebody dumps their shit on the market or everyone involved catches ADD.
