I loved David The Gnome! Anyone else watch Nick Jr. waaaaay past your age range because you were sick at home and it was the only thing on TV that was remotely interesting? TBS would occasionally have some crazy old movie on syndication that no one had ever heard of but other than that, you were stuck with David, Maya and Eureka. I didn't mind.

That “grimms fairy tale classics” I loved as a kid too. I was probably 7-8 years old.

ApebitMusic | 130 Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 I don't mind the cases! Looks like a CGC Comics label pretty much with a box in front. At the end of the day it's unimportant to me... give me good service, reasonable price and turnaround time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if all 40 guys grade 1/hour, thats only 320 games a day across all companies. Sounds a lot less than demand. But who knows. An educated guess. Wata likely less than 10 graders or so before their takeover by Collectors. At the time if you were going off their LinkedIn page, they had three graders: an associate grader, mid-level grader, and Ken. I guess there's no guarantee here they didn't have more but they weren't exactly a huge company then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt McClellan to be honest I have no history with, but he has a beautiful collection and seems very passionate about it. I can absolutely vouch for Jason. I've spoken with him many times back when he lived in St. Louis. He is very knowledgeable - especially with the older systems (Atari and NES specifically). Can't say I like the cases as others have mentioned, but I'm all for additional competition in grading. And honestly, they still look better than WATA - which look like some child's sketch of futuristic trash. I'm sitting on a decent number of games I want to get slabbed and might go through them after I see some of the early results.

RH | 4,903 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Well, I created an account just to take a look at the grading process and services. Eh, looks like you have to pay what are essentially monthly club fees to submit any games. Yeah... I'm not into that. This isn't for the casual submitter, which I what I am. Hard pass but if might be for some of you guys, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just an annual fee ... You can can pay a $25 annual fee and you can send many games you like. Even with the annual fee its cheaper than Wata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the annual fee its cheaper than Wata Yeah, but I'm the type of person where the most I'm likely to submit are 3-5 games in my life time. Once a year is generous so at $25, it's the fees plus $25. I get that some people are serious about grading and might submit 10, 20, 50 or even 100 games a year, but there are probably many, many thousands of us who are interested in the idea of the service and willing to send off a few games in our lives, if for no other reason that if we find something excessively rare, we might want to get it encased in something nice looking for display.

inasuma | 1,203 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 $25 plus retro fee is only $15 more than watas cheapest tier. I get not submitting out of principle but it’s only $15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
