I noticed this at the bottom of VGG page, they want to compare themselves to Wata but not VGA or IGS.

AnimalHouse | 117 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I believe I found a typo for VGG - CIB Overall Grade Balance. Read the last 2 sentences. They mention box twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamW | 713 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Note they're only grading NES at present. The other choices on the submission form just say "coming soon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NesQuest | 93 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Know a lot of negative comments will come out, but I’m interested in trying out “the other guy”. The process, customer service, turnaround, final product, etc. Do have to say VGG’s customer service so far gets an A+. Very quick responses and actually give direct/satisfactory answers to questions. Can’t say that about one of their competitors! Giving it a go with what will be a lower grade CIB variant to see how it rolls. Edited September 2, 2021 by NesQuest 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlbfan10 | 340 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) They don't have an actual picture of an actual game they have graded just mock ups. I see no validity here anymore so than IGS. Just not for me. Edited September 2, 2021 by mlbfan10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inasuma | 1,203 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I’m pretty sure it’s a guy working out of his garage similar to IGS. Really not a good use of ones money. I’d happily consider it for $1 but not whatever they’re charging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnimalHouse | 117 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 As much as I wanted to try out the new company before labor day ended. I couldn't pull the trigger because of the ugly case design but I do like there 'submission page' format, similar to Wata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahnman | 1 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I'm a noob here but if it's for resale/flipping purposes I understand the desire to go WATA, VGA, and the like. But isn't WATA's reputation shot at this point? I wouldn't mind giving this lad a shot just for my personal collection. Even if he may have proposed his business pitch from the wrong angle, the "small guy" has to start somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it die or will it make a full recovery? Stay tuned! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahnman | 1 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Seems like Wata took a shotgun blast for the time being. I'm hoping Wata and Heritage Auctions take an A-10 Warthog's "BRRRRRRRRRR" for good measure in the near future and everyone involved gets ousted from the industry for good. Where ever there is money to be made, you're going to have the most vile scumbags come out from the depths of hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NesQuest | 93 Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) As anticipated, my low ball CIB variant graded horribly with VGG. Lol. Will say it’s interesting they provide a FULL report showing exactly where the box, manual, and cartridge had score deductions. Their pre-grading images are also much more bright/clear and not muddy (like one of their competitors that will go unnamed). The game is on the way back (I did their 15 day turnaround), so I can post a brief review next week if anyone is interested. And say whatever you want, like I’m not using my money wisely as stated above….I don’t really care or give a darn.
