Does Nintendo have some type of proprietary shrink wrap that’s impossible to replicate? Seems like we’re putting an awful lot of faith in clear plastic here.
He goes on about scamming the guy for a few of the games he owns, but if he bought them several years ago. They were most likely the going rate at the time. I bought games for $100-200 5-10 years ago and they're worth 3-5 times that now. That's just natural appreciation; not ripping off some naïve or desperate seller.
@@GetTheGreg I can understand you being aware of financials but if your main goal is the profit alone it's not about collecting it's about buying and selling. Because now you go outside the realm of enjoying it for the hobby and into the realm of motive for profit instead of enjoyment and respect of the thing you're collecting about.
The vast majority of people I've met in this realm are motivated by the collecting aspect more than the profit aspect. Of course, the 2 aspects do become more intertwined as the value amounts grow into the thousands, but *most* people still do their buying/selling/flipping in order to fuel the collecting. Of course, there are people in every hobby who just seek to make a quick buck. If there is no actual *collecting* taking place, then we can agree.
@@GetTheGreg and I agree. But what I am getting at is when you highlight profit as a key aspect of the purchase or item (like the guy in that video did) it no longer is about the Preservation and Appreciation of the concept (art or manufacturing of the item). So instead of collecting for the appreciation and preservation of the knowledge it inserts a financial incentive or motive onto the act of preserving these items for for the world. I say the same thing about all art. I can't stand it when people talk about profiting off of fine art because the art is usually presented as cultural knowledge and "cultural value". But incentive of profiteering where preservation is supposed to be the reason or enjoyment seems like the wrong reasons.
I’ve been into sealed game collecting since 2010. N64 games are extremely common. So common that many boxes of N64 6-packs were submitted to vga and you can tell cause they say “uncirculated”. And yes Greg is correct, I remember when vga started the “qualified” tier, it was mostly used for Earthbound. PCGS started doing “genuine” around this time, and a lot of people got “tricked” cause they weren’t educated enough to know the difference between “qualified”. I remember buying my 85+ majors mask in 2010 for $110. A lot has changed since then.
That’s crazy. I literally bought a N64 expansion pak CIB in Mint for $95. This year. I think my Wave Race was around $90 CIB too. I was kinda mad about that one cause the box is bent on the bottom so it has issues with standing up. Even in its plastic cover
He got me into the graded scene and the reason I found this channel! Cool to see you talk about this video and about his collection in general, can't wait for the next video!
I remember I almost jumped on a deal on a wata sealed game and thankfully saw "CIB" and backed away lol. I can see the fear of losing out on a deal can be a powerful motivator/trigger for some people.
All grading is a scam. Multiple hands getting greased, ya know, except for yours, when the bubble pops and your $5000 “graded” game is worth a tiny fraction of what you paid. Meanwhile, grading company, auction house, keep all their profits. Every single market from the dawn of time has eventually corrected itself. What happens when all the collectors realize that the only people buying these games are other collectors hoping to profit from a sale at a later date to another collector. You’ve literally removed all of the intrinsic value from the good…. You might just as well purchase a piece of paper from the grading company lmao. When 99% of the value is derived from the fact it’s graded, you’re in trouble….
He calls them boxes because that's all they are. You can play and enjoy games, you can't play his boxes. It's call if you want to do this, but they aren't games.
Agreed, but you can enjoy and relive nostalgia without buying or owning 85+ VGA graded games. Completely unnecessary to own mint sealed copies especially at thousands and thousands of pounds
@NoNonsenseJohnson having a sealed game takes away every bit of joy. I get sealed baseball cards, all you can do is look at it. If you can't play the video game, why even own it? May as well be an empty box. We'd never know
Great video man. I also got into the Hobby cuzve Miz. Started out buying a VGA 85+ Copy of Pokemom Stadium Japanese (not qualified haha just checked) Off of Ebay, came out to 350 total after I paid duty fees. Same box is selling for $1200ish atm (speaking Canadian) But it is my Poke grail and I absolutely love it :) Thanks for teaching me something new about the hobby 🤙 I shifted to Pokemon Cards now but am still loving collecting just as much!
Man, the premium commanded by N64 collecting is continually confusing to me. The console has like 15 games worth a damn (each printed in the several millions). Frankly it was a pretty dark age for Nintendo, hardly an iconic golden era. The majority of those 15 have then proceeded to age terribly into the modern day. And yet sealed N64 games are worth more due to condition rarity because... The cardboard is bad? Someone explain this to me like I'm 5
But my thing is how many people have these things graded tbh… ngl I just started buying a few CIB in 64 games but tbh I don’t think I’d ever buy anything graded… except for maybe the early Tomb Raider games On PC or Ps1. I would shell out for a few of those because it’s my favorite franchise. Yes it’s cool to learn about this but then again are these really that rare? Yeah even CIB could be considered rare because N64 boxes are very flimsy and people threw them out allot of the times.
He keeps saying that it's a great investment but I would disagree if he's never ever going to sell his investment in a market experiencing a speculative bubble that will eventually burst and crash.
he 100% does not know about qualified. he thinks he has the cream of the crop I'm sure he will very disappointed to know it was a "qualified box". Great video btw !
For those not in the know, a “Qualified” game means a game that is brand new (with unused contents) but either: - has its original factory seal broken, or - box is opened but contents remain unused.
Great video Greg! I remember watching this video a while back so cool to see you do a response video with it. Love your reactions to certain things haha. Keep up the great content brother!
@@EmpiresEGG 1000 bucks are alot of money in the US for instance, but if u go to other countries. 1000 aint that much at all. im from Norway and we earn alot, meaning 1000 isnt as much for me than for some gringoes in general
I've gotta be honest me as a Pokemon collector this Mizkif shouting numbers around - not a fan of his approach. Sounds like a snake oil salesman and not a very good one.
Man about the red edges you're saying shouldn't be visible. The oldest N64 games didn't have the flaps cut on the red side so they were easier to open. Yellow side flaps are always a pain to open and nearly always cause damage when you open that side.
Unsure if it will reach him, honestly. I tagged him etc, but I don't have any actual means of getting this video in front of him haha. He also simply might not care😅
Lol the only actual collector. Too bad it’s all gonna be worth Beanie baby prices as soon as that bubble burst. Don’t be the last person standing holding all this
Honestly just clicked on this to see someone else’s thoughts on his video that I watched yesterday but I do like ur channel man. New sub! Getting into wata myself for my Mario n pokemons!
Maybe he shouldn't have worried about throwing so much money at them for those games and researched things a little more beforehand because it seems like he was just more excited to say he dropped thousands on them then anything else.
My personal opinion is the Miskif fella is kinda new to the hobby since WATA/HA became popular. He literally said it himself he bought those games around a year ago. This would explain how he completely missed the Qualified and why he refers them as "boxes". He might have played 'em when younger, but he's currently seeing them as investment collectibles and not actually games per se. He's probably doing what a lot of TH-camrs out there are doing right now - hyping the crap out of them "boxes"!
it’s both their fault .. VGA could have been more clear on the labeling .. but now it’s sort of set in stone for them. And M should have paid closer attention to notice and ask (and find out) what ‘Qualified’ means.
Great video as always! Mizkif does have some great games. But I really hope he knows about the qualified games by now. Look forward to the next video brotha!!
Regarding the GBC, don’t they come with batteries included? I’m not sure, but wouldn’t that mean the inside of the box is potentially completely ruined?
There is definitely going to be a bit of a Schrödinger's Cat scenario playing out with some of the graded games/consoles at some point in the future. Realistically, it will truly never be opened, so we can never confirm the insides, so does it matter? It's honestly kind of weird to consider haha.
@@GetTheGreg dunno man, that acid may make its way through the box over time. I‘d personally stay away from sealed/graded systems for that reasons. For games, even with disc rot or save batteries, neither should show on the outside. So in those cases, yeah. Who cares.
@@DijaVlogsGames most of the time you see the battery acid in the terminal and battery compartments is because the batteries were left there, allowing them to complete the circuit. Even through the power isn’t on, it’s still draining energy. The batteries that came with these consoles were separately packaged and therefore not completing any type of circuits. I’m sure anything is possible, but I would think that as long as the box isn’t exposed to extreme heat. It would we ok
Haha I'll do my best! It'll likely be structured as "low, mid, high" as some of the games are super hard to pinpoint exact sale values. Gives a more realistic outlook than saying "this game is definitely worth X"
Haha at some point! So much of my collection is scattered between: my house, storage, and my parent's house that it's hard to do it right now. Hopefully this year at some point I can try to get everything together for a video!
Is mizkif part of the heritage auctions and (I forget the name of the graders they own) the graders inflation if the games market where the owner of the auction house bought his own copy of mario at just over a million. So articles would write, not that an auction site owner bought his own game to inflate the market, but "mario sells.for over a million dollars!" Making people think that's what they are worth. Everyone with a sealed copy then goes to pay to get theirs graded and then auctioned and because of the amount of them on the site now, the prices go way down and the only people winning are the rich mo foster manipulating stuff in thenfirst place. Apparently he does it with comics too where he'll put on of his comics up and the buy it back. Sit on it for a few years. Put it back up and then buy it back for more. And keep doing this to manipulate the market. Its disgusting. Is mizkif one of these? Or is he just a naive victim?
Hey Greg, just wondering your opinion on if you think it is worth getting sealed games graded at UK Graders (UKG)? I have some sealed games and it is far more conveinient to send them to UKG than to VGA from where I live
This just proofs that ppl with money can be "idiots" (not knowing what they should do with there money). They are not really into collecting. They may played the Games years ago yes, but then just bought the VGA ratings, because they have the money. If this Mizkif really bought them just to make money with it, then he can say bye bye to his "investment". Hew don't know anything about Videogames at all. ppl just follow him, because he has more attention range. It's sad, but what can you really do about it. Even if you go there and tell him or the ppl watching, that he bought open Games and lose alot of money, they blame you for "why have you to ruin his investment" like it's your fault he makes this misstake buy and not noticing it. This is also the reason why i don't follow big infulencer, especially if they just jump on a marked, they may think can make money with it. Here in germany we also have some of those "experts". Many subs, but knowlege of an emtpy Walnut.
Y’all are some suckers. I spent 59.99 on all my N64 games including the Zeldas and all Mario’s and they are still sealed. If your dropping over a 1k on a game you need to re think your priorities
i dunno if its just american boxes, but shouldnt nintendo sealed games have the red nintendo strip? what proves they havent been repackaged its not hard to do. in fact i rather see a bit of wear and tear bit of shelf damage to prove its age and legit. seeing games too mint is red flags to me.
That red Nintendo strip is a PAL only thing. And it's far harder to properly replicate a Nintendo 1st party seal than it's given credit for. On top on the seal, you'd also have to have a box that has never been opened, as you can also identify a reseal by purely observing certain aspects of the box alone. The risk of reseals and fakes always exist, of course, but with cardboard based games it's not at all easy to create one that is even half convincing to people who have years of experience with them.
I like your reaction on this, saw that video before i saw yours. Sow qualified means already opend and reseald, what does uncirculated mean then? Sorry for this noob question ;)
Qualified isn't "resealed", it's just opened and verified as unused. So the contents can still be taken out of the box. Uncirculated is a designation given to games/consoles that generally come from sealed factory cases of games - that's the most common example. So like Mario 64 would ship to Walmart in a box with 6 copies inside. If you were to send one of those sealed boxes to VGA, have them open it and grade the MK64s inside, they would be designated as uncirculated.
Mizkif has such a persona about him, I feel like he knows about the qualified but just didn't want to say so for the video but honestly who knows. Why he says boxes and not games I'll never know
I have a couple of games that have that are sealed in mint condition but have a stamp on the back very small that says “disc made in Mexico” , will that effect the grade ?
Can u help i got joshi island 2 Super nintendo snes Its crushed in one corner But still fully sealed I wanna know the price I dont find any of those games for sell on ebay
Really tough one to say right now as there hasn't been a sale on that title on awhile. Even with the crushing, it should be in the multiple thousand, just very hard to say exactly where until we see any public sales
Yup. The only way it can still be graded by VGA is that they confirm all of them contents are original and completely unused state. Like, literally never used haha. We shall never know who or why someone decided to open it at some point haha.
Qualified means "New/unused, but opened". So in some instances, yea, they may screw up OR the item has indeed been resealed but is still "new" inside, OR it's just a straight reseal and used so you don't get it graded on either scale.
FOR THOSE NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHAT THE "QUALIFIED" MEANS, THIS IS DIRECTLY FROM THE VGA WEBSITE:
"Qualified Grading Scale (items are accompanied by documentation) - for opened package with new contents video games, systems and accessories from all years"
So the 2 games Mizkif has are opened, but the contents inside have been confirmed as "unused". When it comes to the high-end market, this is a massive distinction. As soon as the seal is broken/game is opened, it becomes more akin to a glorified CIB game than a sealed game.

This is helpful to know. Because the word “qualified” is vague as hell without context.

I'm still laughing of him calling them video games "boxes" all the time which blew my mind. I guess every video games he owns are called 'boxes' lol.
Most people I've seen in the scene call them boxes. I watch a few graded game collectors and they all refer to them as boxes.
To be fair, the system needs work if Graded Quallifed has the same number ratings as non qualified just with the world Qualified
Yeah it should say Opened, not Qualified.

Absolutely! Especially when you are newer to a bull market and your FOMO is at a fever pitch!

Since the whole graded, sealed games market is being pumped, I would not recommend it as an investment.
My personal opinion is the Miskif fella is kinda new to the hobby since WATA/HA became popular. He literally said it himself he bought those games around a year ago. This would explain how he completely missed the Qualified and why he refers them as "boxes". He might have played 'em when younger, but he's currently seeing them as investment collectibles and not actually games per se. He's probably doing what a lot of TH-camrs out there are doing right now - hyping the crap out of them "boxes"!
this video was so fun to watch haha, appreciate it man
Hey thanks man!👌
@@GetTheGreg np homie, I’m sure miz will watch it and you’ll get a good follow up haha
50k for a N64 game in box mint! Holy shite!!!!!!
it’s both their fault .. VGA could have been more clear on the labeling .. but now it’s sort of set in stone for them. And M should have paid closer attention to notice and ask (and find out) what ‘Qualified’ means.
Bro this guy looks like Henry Cavill
I knew some gals in college who had "qualified boxes" 😁
you just did that 😂
@@GetTheGreg momma tried, momma tried... momma tried to raise me better. Glad you appreciate my sick sense of humor.
Great video as always! Mizkif does have some great games. But I really hope he knows about the qualified games by now. Look forward to the next video brotha!!
Haha same man! Thanks as always!
You can tell Zelda is sealed and real
right now there is a wata 9.2 mario 64 at $2400 current bid on ebay. Too bad I didn't buy a sealed semi crushed pokemon snap for $450
He is right Calli g them boxes. It is only the boxes we get to enjoy.
Thanks for your videos ALWAYS!
Regarding the GBC, don’t they come with batteries included? I’m not sure, but wouldn’t that mean the inside of the box is potentially completely ruined?
There is definitely going to be a bit of a Schrödinger's Cat scenario playing out with some of the graded games/consoles at some point in the future. Realistically, it will truly never be opened, so we can never confirm the insides, so does it matter? It's honestly kind of weird to consider haha.
@@GetTheGreg dunno man, that acid may make its way through the box over time. I‘d personally stay away from sealed/graded systems for that reasons.
For games, even with disc rot or save batteries, neither should show on the outside. So in those cases, yeah. Who cares.
@@DijaVlogsGames most of the time you see the battery acid in the terminal and battery compartments is because the batteries were left there, allowing them to complete the circuit. Even through the power isn’t on, it’s still draining energy. The batteries that came with these consoles were separately packaged and therefore not completing any type of circuits. I’m sure anything is possible, but I would think that as long as the box isn’t exposed to extreme heat. It would we ok
How did he know it was my first time
I hate streamers, and an N64 kid streamer is peak hate for me. Everyone else knows Zelda peaked at Link to the Past. :p
Ahah damn, strong words there. Would you hate me as an N64 kid even more if I told you I've never fully played through LttP haha?😬😬
@@GetTheGreg Yes. If you collect sealed video games and have never played LttP that would make you an N64 kid poser. If you ever start streaming… :p
Please do a value add up follow up video, I've been trying to figure out a price for my Wata 8.5 A+ Kirby 64 for awhile now lol
Haha I'll do my best! It'll likely be structured as "low, mid, high" as some of the games are super hard to pinpoint exact sale values. Gives a more realistic outlook than saying "this game is definitely worth X"
do you have a overview how much your collection ist worth atm?
Only vaguely at this point. I haven't done any real calculations. 6 figure++
@@GetTheGreg nice - how about a video where you break it down for us? Would love to see it!
Haha at some point! So much of my collection is scattered between: my house, storage, and my parent's house that it's hard to do it right now. Hopefully this year at some point I can try to get everything together for a video!
Is mizkif part of the heritage auctions and (I forget the name of the graders they own) the graders inflation if the games market where the owner of the auction house bought his own copy of mario at just over a million. So articles would write, not that an auction site owner bought his own game to inflate the market, but "mario sells.for over a million dollars!" Making people think that's what they are worth. Everyone with a sealed copy then goes to pay to get theirs graded and then auctioned and because of the amount of them on the site now, the prices go way down and the only people winning are the rich mo foster manipulating stuff in thenfirst place. Apparently he does it with comics too where he'll put on of his comics up and the buy it back. Sit on it for a few years. Put it back up and then buy it back for more. And keep doing this to manipulate the market. Its disgusting. Is mizkif one of these? Or is he just a naive victim?
Hey Greg, just wondering your opinion on if you think it is worth getting sealed games graded at UK Graders (UKG)? I have some sealed games and it is far more conveinient to send them to UKG than to VGA from where I live
Ukg is a good Grader 👍
After watching this vid I concluded that this Mizkif guy should unban me
I'm just not sure you're going to get there man😅
This just proofs that ppl with money can be "idiots" (not knowing what they should do with there money). They are not really into collecting. They may played the Games years ago yes, but then just bought the VGA ratings, because they have the money. If this Mizkif really bought them just to make money with it, then he can say bye bye to his "investment".
Hew don't know anything about Videogames at all. ppl just follow him, because he has more attention range. It's sad, but what can you really do about it. Even if you go there and tell him or the ppl watching, that he bought open Games and lose alot of money, they blame you for "why have you to ruin his investment" like it's your fault he makes this misstake buy and not noticing it.
This is also the reason why i don't follow big infulencer, especially if they just jump on a marked, they may think can make money with it.
Here in germany we also have some of those "experts". Many subs, but knowlege of an emtpy Walnut.
Y’all are some suckers. I spent 59.99 on all my N64 games including the Zeldas and all Mario’s and they are still sealed. If your dropping over a 1k on a game you need to re think your priorities
You listen here, "John Martin", you might have the zeldas and all marios, but do you have the marios and all zeldas?
i dunno if its just american boxes, but shouldnt nintendo sealed games have the red nintendo strip? what proves they havent been repackaged its not hard to do. in fact i rather see a bit of wear and tear bit of shelf damage to prove its age and legit. seeing games too mint is red flags to me.
That red Nintendo strip is a PAL only thing. And it's far harder to properly replicate a Nintendo 1st party seal than it's given credit for. On top on the seal, you'd also have to have a box that has never been opened, as you can also identify a reseal by purely observing certain aspects of the box alone.
The risk of reseals and fakes always exist, of course, but with cardboard based games it's not at all easy to create one that is even half convincing to people who have years of experience with them.
Miz.... I don’t feel too good...
I like your reaction on this, saw that video before i saw yours. Sow qualified means already opend and reseald, what does uncirculated mean then? Sorry for this noob question ;)
Qualified isn't "resealed", it's just opened and verified as unused. So the contents can still be taken out of the box.
Uncirculated is a designation given to games/consoles that generally come from sealed factory cases of games - that's the most common example. So like Mario 64 would ship to Walmart in a box with 6 copies inside. If you were to send one of those sealed boxes to VGA, have them open it and grade the MK64s inside, they would be designated as uncirculated.
Mizkif has such a persona about him, I feel like he knows about the qualified but just didn't want to say so for the video but honestly who knows. Why he says boxes and not games I'll never know
Yea I considered that option as well. I genuinely don't know with the guy as he is such a showman first and foremost haha
@@GetTheGreg yea and like you said, he definitely knows what he's talking about with the other stuff
0:29 facts, i just found you
damn he has a sick collection
I have a couple of games that have that are sealed in mint condition but have a stamp on the back very small that says “disc made in Mexico” , will that effect the grade ?
Pretty sure that's a manufacturing stamp and has no bearing at all on grade. That's like Xbox 360 you're talking?
@@GetTheGreg yes Xbox 360 games
Yea that's just part of the actual manufacturing process. No distractions due to that!
I'm subbed now I really enjoy your vids!
Thanks dude, much appreciated!
it's funny how people like Mizkif get ripped off lol
most of these boxes are dropping in value like crazy
Oh yea haha, market had an absolute freefall since this video was posted
Can u help i got joshi island 2
Super nintendo snes
Its crushed in one corner
But still fully sealed
I wanna know the price
I dont find any of those games for sell on ebay
Really tough one to say right now as there hasn't been a sale on that title on awhile. Even with the crushing, it should be in the multiple thousand, just very hard to say exactly where until we see any public sales
If that game has been opened before do you think it actually has super Mario 64 in it?
Yup. The only way it can still be graded by VGA is that they confirm all of them contents are original and completely unused state. Like, literally never used haha.
We shall never know who or why someone decided to open it at some point haha.
I dont know who this guy is but with the wata contreversy now i dont know what gonna happen to the market !!!
Flipperino carbonara
OoT is the GOAT
I literally can't stand hearing him calling games "boxes."
I just don't understand why hahah. Like where did that originate for him!?
Brags about the current prices but doesn't ever want to sell. That makes no sense considering this is an 'investment', nice flex I guess.
So question 🙋♂️ “qualified” mean VGA thought it wasn’t real..... so the opened it..... and whoops.... it was real..... so VGA opened said game!?!?
Qualified means "New/unused, but opened". So in some instances, yea, they may screw up OR the item has indeed been resealed but is still "new" inside, OR it's just a straight reseal and used so you don't get it graded on either scale.
