AnimalHouse | 117 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 list here Not sure if anyone noticed this but I spotted a "1" under 10 for "Karate Kid." I did not know a 10 was possible for the NES. Q's: Does anyone believe there 9.8 A++ should've gotten a 10 but didn't because of a graders difference of opinion or no? How much of a subtle difference is there between a 9.8 A++ and 10 A++? Example: 7/8 corners are crisp, sharp, pointy. The other is more curved. Is this the defining factor?

inasuma | 1,191 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) My understanding is the difference between a 10 and 9.8 is a matter of manufacturing accuracy. At this point there would be no damage. Instead it’s a matter of whitening on a corner vs no whitening (Eg where the cardboard folds). That sort of thing.

Code Monkey | 2,002 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I'm wondering if it's similar to cards where they remove points for centering of the artwork. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,689 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I'm pretty sure they advertised this on their Instagram about a year ago since it was such an amazingly preserved specimen. I believe it's the only 10 they've graded for the NES. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inasuma | 1,191 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 of course now that it's in the wata slab it's probably closer to 9.6 A+ :kekw: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
