Got my 1st submission back, happy with the grades I got!

lmao I was dealing with the same issue! I took a screenshot and read that instead.

Did you go to the website and check on the status of your order during that 2 months? 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.

I do have quite a few display cases around the house, but those games aren't being displayed. Statues have taken up the space! Thanks, it's a nice collection, but I know of a couple collections that are better. There are folks who are more devoted, and more willing to spend. I did stop upgrading 13 years ago lol.

Here is my complete collection. The YM-901S is quite special. It includes the original envelope the game was sent in. Some of the game could use better box, but it took me a few years to complete the set in 2008, it was a lot of work buying and selling the old ones I upgraded. Once I got the last box I needed (brand new Tropical Fish), I just didn't want to spend more time keep upgrading.

Maybe because the autograph is on the shrink warp not the actual game.

Thank you for the info FenrirZero. I sent in the same questions to Wata, got a response back that I should submit my games with my paper documents, if they can use that info to authenticate the autograph they would. Otherwise they will just ignore the signature, it won't be treated as damage. So I got what I needed. Problem solved!

He's not exactly a celebrity PSA authenticate, or anyone would pretend to be. I do have email from ebay that shows I brought the item from Victor Ireland @ Redding where Working Designs located. I have email from him stating that he signed the following games, and have shipped the games to me. I am not trying to get value out of the auto, I am just hoping to not have it treated as damage, I wouldn't bother grading them if they are going to be treated as damage to be honest.

The fog is likely grease, it will happen if you cook at home. Gently run your finger on the surface of the game and see if your finger feel greasy. My game collection (the old ones that don't get played) are stored in my study. The room has ceiling light with clear glass cover. I can see the glass fog up after a year or so, even when the door of the room is closed most of the time, and I rarely cook at home. Funny you mention Windex, because that's what I used to clean that light cover. For the PS2 and Xbox seals, if they seal is not the stretchy type, it should be safe to clean them with Windex, but instead of spraying on the game, you spray on paper towel, or micro fiber material then rub it gently. Try it on a cheap game and see how it goes.

Can anyone tell me what happen if I send in autographed games to Wata for grading? Would it negatively impact the grade? I have a couple sealed Working Designs games that were autographed by Victor Ireland, I don't want to bother sending them in if they are going to get bad grades.
