The Count | 691 Posted February 26, 2024 Share Posted February 26, 2024 I'm sure there are desirable disc movies, maybe some even legit rare. That said, it's not for me. I'd love to get a universally panned, arguably god awful DVD slabbed though. Something along the lines of Kickin" It Old School or a ridiculous porno vol. IV.

Reed Rothchild | 10,316 Editorials Team · Posted February 26, 2024 Share Posted February 26, 2024 I've sold some expensive discs before, but usually because it's the only way to watch the film, or watch it in high def.

Brickman | 4,387 Posted February 26, 2024 Share Posted February 26, 2024 Crazy. I can buy that brand new in UHD for like $18 which is the superior version vs blu ray. They should be grading the actual film canister or USB. If you don’t have that then you don’t have the true first print Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14378-wata-dvd-and-blu-ray-grading/#findComment-397581 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonebone | 1,361 Posted February 27, 2024 Share Posted February 27, 2024 Does seem a bit silly for "WATAGAMES" to grade movies, maybe should be "WATAMEDIA" or something else now. Though I blame CGC. They are a pure greed company that wanted to expand into Games / Movies / VHS / DVD / etc just to simply under price the market and get a piece of the pie. Only makes sense that Wata would follow suit after being bought out. Word on the street is that VGA may expand into CIB grading formally too... because they see Wata / CGC making money off it. Businesses are for profit so they go wherever they think they can make a little money. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14378-wata-dvd-and-blu-ray-grading/#findComment-397683 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPX | 1,458 Posted March 10, 2024 Share Posted March 10, 2024 I think there’s some sense to the madness. I mean, I can see people trying to get a nice grade on some of their favorite movies. I’ll be more interested if any of the graded DVDs end up being a million bucks and to see if @Gulag Joe agrees with the prices. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14378-wata-dvd-and-blu-ray-grading/#findComment-399021 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SledDriver | 7 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Since I’m new to the grading scene I didn’t even realize these companies were grading things like Blu-Rays, etc.. However, I have to say once I found this gem, it may just be the itch I need to start collecting…🫨 In all seriousness, when it comes to graded items, I really only chase the ones that have significant nostalgia to me. That being said, a graded VHS copy of Top Gun 1986 would likely be the only thing I’m interested in as the movie inspired my career and I have probably watched it over 1000x, mostly on VHS. Maybe Memphis Belle 1992, which as a lesser movie, would be my kick only. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14378-wata-dvd-and-blu-ray-grading/#findComment-430000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
