should only be things that are already rare, or new releases in limited runs/first pressings etc. pointless if everything is graded.
Agreed still, but who would define the rarity in first place, and the point when the item is rare enough.
Which is why I laugh when I see current/recent VGA graded games on eBay for hundreds. Which brings me to another point, you don't even know if the games are even in there.
Well if it's opened game, I think VGA checks it.
If it's sealed game it's quantum thing: As long as it's not opened the game at the same time is there and is not there and all possibilieties in between. 
Schrodinger's cat, basically.
I want to agree about how bragging threads shouldn't exist, but I can't. If it wasn't for such threads, I wouldn't be eagerly waiting for my repros as I would never have found them (thanks Arseen) and I probably will show them off (though I'll just steal Arseen's "Look what came in the mail today" thread), not to taunt others, but because I'm so happy to have the repros, and I'll want to share my happiness.
