This population report actually demonstrates why I prefer the VGA scale. Sure, it’s less information condensed but it’s a better overall picture of what is out there.

@ChokeslamToHell 2 жыл бұрын

Why? The majority will be 85 or 85+, I’d guess.

@clrodrick 2 жыл бұрын

@@ChokeslamToHell Perhaps Leeartlee meant that VGA has been around a lot longer so their pop report will be more telling than Wata as to how much product is out there right now.

I'd also consider that a significant portion of collectors who want certain games and grades likely can't afford them. Maybe that's not baked into demand? Also, people like me, on top of grading, shipping, and insurance fees have to pay 25% import tax, which definitely will make some people send in games less regularly and sit on stock.

@boxwi 2 жыл бұрын

It would be nice if we could get an admission someday from Deniz or possibly Val a rough estimate of how many total WATA games were crossed over from VGA. Otherwise we would be guessing. Out of any particular VGA game, I would imagine between 25-50% of them were crossed over to WATA- and those %s probably increase depending on the game's market value.

@clrodrick 2 жыл бұрын

Not that it will ever happen, but it would be nice if Wata/VGA could communicate back and forth when a cross grade comes through so the original grading service can cross it off their pop report

Greg just wondering your thoughts but I have the chance to buy a mint, sealed copy of wario ware twisted for 400 USD. I see there are no copies of it listed in the pop reports, do you think that’s a good price for this game? I plan on having it graded

@GetTheGreg 2 жыл бұрын

You won't see that one on the WATA pop report because it's an oversized box - so WATA doesn't grade it. You'd need a VGA pop report to help with that one. If it's actually mint, $400 isn't bad at all I don't think, but that box is super prone to wear/creasing so make sure to be very confident!

Wow interesting, only 376 games graded for the Gameboy with a library of about 1050 games..And of those about 70% had fewer than 5 in number. I thought it would be much higher than that! Pokemon red,blue,yellow with around 200 each is not all that many really. But of course not everyone can afford to get games graded.
