Barewooley | 2 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I submitted a sealed Kid Klown to WATA... There is some crushing/creasing on the top of the box but the rest of the box is pretty nice. I was wondering if there is any chance the box would grade 9.0 or if the crushing automatically brings it down to 8.5. Thank you for your time and happy collecting!

Jim Jimmer | 234 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Unfortunately with this kind of crease you’re probably looking at an 8 box. Good luck and nice game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barewooley | 2 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Thanks, I will hope for an 8.5. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonebone | 1,312 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 You may be able to squeak a 9. That was the $12k auction box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barewooley | 2 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 No, I bought this box awhile ago for much less. The $12K auction made me re-think about getting my copy graded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,036 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 You'll know soon enough if you submitted it. Did you do Speed Run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamW | 713 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I think WATA's turnaround right now is like a couple months even on the second highest tier, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kell | 102 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I thought someone posted a month, submitting in March and getting back in April, roughly 30 calendar days. Will have to look for it edit: @avoinlooks like it was 20 business days for avoin 3/5 a 4/2 to get grades. Not sure if physical games arrived yet.

Barewooley | 2 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 I chose the 15 day tier. It will probably take longer which I’m fine with. I have been comparing boxes and grades. 7.5 shows too much wear. I think mine is likely 8.0-8.5. Maybe I’ll get lucky. People don’t seem to care though if it’s 8.5 or 9.0. I guess if it’s rare and not highly graded (9.6 or higher), one level doesn’t matter much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmsci | 34 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 my SMB was 2 months but thats because it was put in a 'verification' bin because I incorrectly guessed on the declared value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did it say? I sent a few games in for speed-run service, they were delivered last Monday according to USPS. Wednesday the status was already in grading. So I assume they did the cleaning service I selected. This is my first sub so I don't know if grading means someone actually working on it or just a general term of waiting to be graded.

My order is Turbo, but I've been in "grading" for 3 months now, so I assume general "waiting to be graded" status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
