The VGA grading crap just annoys me anymore. So sick of people thinking it means their games are worth 5 times as much because they're in a plastic prison with a sticker on em.

Honestly if i see an auction with the VGA grading i immediately close the window. I'm not interested in the bloated prices that are attached with the VGA grading system.

VGA is the worst thing ever, I just had to laugh they would do this to 2 notoriously bad zelda games

I feel the same way.. I don't want to buy games and never play them. that's why never buy sealed games for older systems .. I could never afford to buy sealed copies for snes or nes games.. I do my classic games purchases over at the swapmeet, goodwill and craigs and i never come across sealed stuff anyways..

I find grading sealed games to be odd.  After all, the only thing being graded is the package.  What if the game inside is broken or damaged?  Sure, it's probably not, but you never know.  Why pay so much money for a game you'll never see?  Grading opened games would make more sense to me.  I mean, mint condition NES or Genesis cartridges would be something I would like in my collection.  Classic games that have perfect labels with no scratches, tears, or fading would be something to take pride in.

Grading action figures in their complete packages is something I understand.  After all, you can see the whole figure.  Grading unopened games is just something I don't understand.

Grading games is no different the grading coins, action figures or comic books its just to have a nice piece to display. Honestly it just a different version of collecting every game I have graded I own opened so I can play it.

My 2 cents

Coins grading is based in several condition factors and often times coins are wayyy older than most other collectibles. As from human touch can damage the coin I understand the casing to protect such.

Comics/Figures, again are items that can be damaged, usually older, and much more fragile. Your interaction lies in playing with them unlike coins where they can just be observed.

Video games are fairly new yet and are interactive and unlike other things that are collected they must be plugged into something else in order for them to work and contain much more stimulation (debatable) versus other collecting methods.

Also, its 1 thing to find a sealed like flintstones for NES and grade it but a whole nother to take a game that would be 1$ loose and pay 25$ to grade it.

Just my opinion
