AnimalHouse | 117 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Not sure if this is new. Today, while browsing on ComicConnect. I noticed games graded less than a 6.5 have a red background color instead of blue. I checked Wata's website to see if they mentioned anything but I see nothing. What do you all think, nice small improvement or eh? Edited August 21, 2021 by AnimalHouse spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,414 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Of all the things they could differentiate with color: IMPs, CIB, individual components of sets, they choose to give the finger to low grade stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's a logical reason. Probably to discourage people from submitting low end stuff to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that’s the only thing I can think of but doesn’t that hurt their long term business with a solution to a temporary problem? And 6.5 is such a weird cut off. 9.4 is when games start getting really nice. 9.0 is the nice psychological boundary people want to hit. Are we gonna have people showing off submissions in 5 years “Aw yeah, got that 6.5 B, blue label!!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beam | 6 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 All of those games are also mold damaged. Is it possible the red is to signify mold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonebone | 1,307 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Red is clearly a mold designation color. Nice to see that they really called it out as Mold is about the most severe flaw a game can have IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
