I'll send pics if I ever get them back. Really, it's not the grades so much as the lack of information WHY I had a 9.8 I was certain of and it came back 9.2. Upon examining it after receiving it from Wata I found the box has some crushing on it that I know was not there when I sent it. Got shrugging shoulders as a reply to my concerns. Any future orders I send to them I will surely take thorough photos of each game to make sure accountability can be determined if it happens again.

Taken of just the front and back from like 10 ft away. Show no corners, edges, sides... VGA sends a report of why your game is graded as such. To my knowledge, WATA had nothing like this unless the deep badge includes that info? Idk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulag Joe | 584 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 They should make the pre grade photos zoomable. Or maybe it's my phone that doesn't allow me to zoom. I have to take a screen shot and then zoom in on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdStrongestMole | 430 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 What if Speed Run return times were based on the amount if time it'd take to speed run the submitted title? Like, you get a Mario Bros back in a few weeks, but if your waiting on a Final Fantasy game you're pretty much fucked... Idk guys... I'm just trying to find ways to make all this waiting fun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same sort of thought when I saw that post, then realized that with some people waiting a year or more already, even the slowest person, walking, could have made it there and back by now from virtually anywhere in the continental US. Still inwardly giggling a bit at the thought of someone editing the cross-country running scenes of Forrest Gump to have him lugging some sealed games under his arms, though, lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mijael | 347 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Ok guys 2022 update ! Hi Mijael,Thank you for contacting Wata Games. I apologize for the confusion, we recently have implemented changes in the order processing that allow us to show grades before the order ships. We’ve refined our quality assurance process to enable us to do this, so this is great news for collectors. Rest assured the data is accurate, although some grades may still be subject to change prior to shipping out. The grades that may change represent a very small percentage of all orders, so feel confident that what you will see in grade viewing will be likely be your final grade. Unfortunately, we have run into shortages and delays for cases that accommodate your games. Once they are in, we will be shipping all held orders as quickly as we can. At this point, we do not have an ETA for the cases, but we are coordinating daily with our suppliers to get them delivered as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your continued patience. You will receive an email with tracking info when the package ships. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.Take care,The Wata Team So still no DVD cases and they dont have ETA for them ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
