Is Grading Video Games IN PERSON Worth It?

- I went to Collect-a-Con in Denver and gave WATA a game to grade. Was it worth it?

you realy should consider another grading company the people behind watta are terrible criminals in leage with heritage auctions
Great video man! That is actually a bit embarrassing how bad their in-person submission process is. Like you said, rather a waste of time and effort.
But congrats on the game and grade!
Cool video. Unfortunate for you that it wasn't worth it. But at least you got the grade you wanted. What games do you want to get graded next? I hope you enjoyed the convention!
Personal for me, grading a video game is like grading a sealed box. Unlike a figure or card, you can't really display the actual contents of the game. You are only displaying the cardboard or plastic box the game resides in, let alone the actual gameplay itself is trapped in another piece of plastic.
Now you do you, this is just my personal opinion, though if people get there hand on rare working prototypes of games it would be better to atleast dump the rom of the game before grading it to preserve that game
Really great video on the process @skul, thanks for documenting your experience.
Also a helpful reference to see how harsh they were on your FF7. I always wonder how they view smaller tears on PS4/PS5 games. It's a little strange to me that they treat minor scuffing just as bad as a small tear. I'm glad you got the grade you wanted though!
This is some spicy cringe 😂
Congratualtions on the grade! It would have been nice to see a few minutes of you walking around the convention to see the crowds and the dealers selling their stuff.
It’s kinda funny how they had you do a whole normal submission, kinda defeats the purpose of the con to a degree. But hey, no outbound shipping lol
And grats! Based on the pregrading overview I was expecting a 9.4 A, massively impressive surprise!
