@a3quit4sthanks agin! and thank you all for looking and comments

Just sent you a PM bud;)

Oh boy ive started something here. Everyone, pull out your Hagane’s and lets make sure they are legit:) i dont blame you! Thats what me got wondering too someone had pointed out a few things. Cant remember them off the top of my head but I wasn’t going to take the chance of accidentally mis representing what i have oh, btw for others, im selling this to build funds for other collections as im not really collecting for snes

Yeah I’m afraid that might be the case So since im not 100% sure im not going to take the chance and treat it as a replacement label. Hence why the price is nearly half id be riddled with guilt to try to scam someone like that:(. My mistake that i made in the past, but hopefully someone may want it? the board is legit and it plays nicely. So thats good

So after careful studying and asking around im affraid my copy is legit but the label had been replaced. Dont get me wrong it looks good! So with that said is anyone interested before i head to the ebays? free shipping to the lower 48 states! below are pics

Very helpful. Yes wata does grade 32x games and i found out they’d even grade my cutbox of spiderman. But as others have convinced me. Im going to just go down the cgs case route and call it good:). Maybe grade a few that are special down the road

@DoctorEncorePM sent!

So i was told that perhaps put on here what you are willing to pay might help. Yes, you’ve read the title correct i am willing to pay $500 for an authentic box

Maybe im blind but where does it say currently paused. Don’t see that anywhere on the pricing page just the screenshot below

Haha. I guess next level as in better preservation. Yeah some would grade 6-7 for sure at best. Probably not the best option. But at the time of writing this post i had completely forgot that cga offers the cases if I didn’t want to have a bunch of 6-7’s to stare at in tombs of carbinate like han solo

Thats good to know! What would you offer if i did down the road!:). You can PM me if you like

Most would grade 6-7’s for sure two that i have would most certainly grade higher than that. I saw a pretty crappy graded wata spiderman on ebay that graded at 7 cib and most of mine are at least that condition if not better, but as others have said might be best to spend funds on perhaps a better spidy box if i ever find one:/ on wata’s aite their pricing chart shows a $0 option for like 170 days. Not sure how that even works to covering costs of grading and the cases you’re probably right on the spiderman box i have. I believe ive heard they will garde any game as long as it fits one of their standard boxes. I cannot believe it would score higher than say a 3-4 due to the box. The manual and game are excellent condition, but that box i think would be a .5 or 1 if i was lucky

Bump. Still looking for that better spidy box!

This! I may just do some nicer cases and no grading. Will save a ton of time and money that way. Also need to think about what my shelves would look like even with them in the acrylic cases that are non grade. They seem pretty low profile compaired to the graded wata ones. So may not be a big deal. Plus i can get them uv protection on them as i hear that the 32x boxes fade badly with any light only problem i have these days with spidy is i just need the freaking box and no one sells that. Ill probably have to save up and buy the cib one off ebay some year and sell my other to make up the cost some

That thought there is very tempting lol

That’s actually not a bad idea. I didn’t think about just buying their cases. I wouldn’t have to send them in for grading as some of them wouldn’t grade high anyhow especially just cib. The nicer cases would protect them better. Nice to have a grade but then knowing my personality it maybe best that i dont know the grade of some lol something to really consider here

Hey guys, curious on everyone’s thoughts here. I know the ultimate answer is “do whatever makes you happy “. But just want some other point of views. I have my sega 32x collection that i just finished a few days ago and i love it. They are all in the plastic game protectors that you typically see that fit them perfectly and allow them to show off their artwork well, but im wondering would it be best to get them graded and sealed for extra protection and that final level imo for the collection? pros for it in my mind 1). Extra protection from the elements (also not a bad plan now that i have a son who i still haven’t gone through his teachable twos yet) 2). They get a grade. Kind of neat to see. Especially some of the cooler finds like kolibri and my pitfall having been bought played once it looks like and the original receipts left in the box from the 90’s. Other titles i may try to find a slightly better cib version before submitting 3). I do like the looks of the wata cases 4). In theory would raise their value some cons 1). Cant play them anymore, but thats what repros and emulation is all about. Even could get an everdrive 2). The cost to get them graded. Of course if i want to wait like two years or something i could do the free tier 3). Less real estate on the shelves for them. Right now they are nicely in order of value 4). The wait and worry. The waiting on them to get back and the worry of one getting lost or damaged. Especially since I couldn’t afford to do them all at once. Id have to do 1-2 at a time I believe 5). They may not even grade spiderman due to its box being cut and put in a claim shell. Ive got a question out to them about this and if they don’t that means id have that one game not graded while the others would be first world problems lol. Thoughts? thanks again,

Wow guys! Thanks for the charm! Its fantastic. Im still going to try to find the 2 out of 3 non region ones and get darxide repro. I’ll be getting a copy of the rerelease of surgical strike too btw! Also, when my nib system gets graded ill share it in the appropriate forum as well lol. But after that, i think ill move on to finishing my game gear collection @Glovesand @CasualCart thank you guys

Bummer got all excited today thinking i’d get my first charm lol. Well if you need any help making one im sure i could do it. Just tell me the specifics for example size for the icon and format thanks again, the charms are a nice touch! Also, been meaning to ask and I don’t mean to offend when i do ask this but wow you’ve got a ton of charms are they legit (as in you have all those collection achievements) or showing the forum what are some possible charms people can get?

Last pic I promise

More pics

US Region complete for sega 32x. CIB collection i even got a small separate box for the spiderman cart for fun. I may get customized cart cases for the rest of them

Thanks again for your help. I pulled the trigger and shipped it off today! I saw on their website they said for receiving and invoicing expect 3+ weeks. So im guessing my turn around will be 3+ weeks and then the 7-10 days. So would it be safe to say end of February or beginning of March i may get a shipped notification from them i went ahead and removed that beautiful shrink wrap just to be safe. I couldn’t get a hold of anybody to confirm if it was ok, so i wanted to be safe than sorry also, I noticed a checkbox on the forum that said if they believe that my submission doesn’t meet the “standard “ category that its ok for them to try to grade it in the “qualified” category. So i went ahead and checked that box. I think that any system that doesn’t have a seal or tape seal they’ll automatically put it in that category (even though the sega 32x consoles never shipped with seals). Which is unfortunate as id rather them not open a box that has never been opened. Now i did make a note on the form for them to consider the tabs and how they haven’t been moved before just automatically grading it as qualified ultimately, ill be happy to have it returned graded in one category or another. Im hoping for a silver grade but there were some blemishes (very light) on the surface. So no telling what it will grade at
