CGC vs WATA - what is more reliable in terms of box condition?

[Hexot | 1]

Hello everyone

I looked through a few auctions, found a few interesting items, but I have a dilemma.

Because the sellers' photos are not always perfect and it's hard to capture any damage on the box. One game has CGC 9.4++ and the other WATA 9.2+ =all from ebay.

I tried to find something about it on my own on the internet, but I can't really figure it out, because I don't know much about it.

That's why I'm asking you for help, which of these companies is more reliable and which one can be trusted without looking at the condition of the game box with your own eyes?

Thank you.
Have a nice day.

From my limited perspective it isn't really about the company, it's about whatever grader happened to give the grade. From having been around here though, and not having anything to do with graded games, the general chatter seems to be that CGC is a more trustworthy company and WATAs reputation has taken several hits. More people that are involved with the scene will likely weigh in but CGC has been around much longer and I think Kenneth has since jumped over to CGC from WATA and is a very reliable grader. Even if he is just doing QA for CGC it would inspire much more trust.

CGC especially at a 9.4 vs WATA 9.2. It will be a bigger condition gap than to think.
