You came back 5 hours later with a gif Honestly fair

But mail day recently from certified and eBay (Metroid is the only eBay game). games r fun

everyone's grail is subjective. if it's a game i actually want to keep, then i won't sell. but if it has value and i can make a few bucks from it, i'll resell for FMV to fund my collecting/long-term saving.

I would have the opposite impression actually. I figure the nicest stuff would get sent in at the beginning, but then that rate of high grades stays at a constant rate as people learn the grade scale over the years.

wow do you even collect bro jk obviously

I knew it. Bitcoin manipulated the games market and committed laundry.

if it's not in a slab then it has the opportunity to appeal to a buyer willing to bid higher thinking it'll grade high enough to justify whatever price they pay. kind of deceiving tbh. no offense to jonas. if its true value is that high then whatever it sold for on HA doesn't matter. lol

Hey all. Figured I'd share some interesting data on the new pops. This is where I've compiled all the data. For each console, you need to scroll down to the bottom-most content to see June data. Sorry it's annoying, I'm not an spreadsheet expert. lol Between December 2022 and March 2023, roughly 3000 new games were added to the pop. Then between March and June this year, over 5000 games were added (not including Switch, PS3, and DS). Sharp increase in new 10s over the last few months. For comparison, there were only an additional 10 examples of 10 A++ assigned between Dec. 2022 and March 2023 (from 34 up to 44). There's now been a 2x increase (from 44 to 103), excluding new platforms, between March and June. More 10s have now been added than the entirety of previous 10s in given in Wata's history. There's now 349 total 10s on the pop if you include Switch, DS, and PS3. A++s saw a sharp increase too. Between December 2022 and March 2023, only 212 A++s were added. Now between March and June, an additional 1062 were added - a 5x increase. Of the new platforms added, Switch has an enormous population of 9.8 A+ and higher grades. Not surprising - it's the current generation and dealers were/are submitting sealed factory cases of new games. Anything interesting you see? Please share. I always enjoy seeing trends in this data.

im just gonna post the new data in a separate thread. lol

New buy. Preordered some months ago and happy to see fangamer made the switch copies fully sealed in cardboard.

Fangamer killed it with this one. Beautiful packaging. Got a couple so I could open one.

From watas black box article:

In this case I believe the no code refers to the top left of this back photo. It would say “NES P SC” if the code were there.

I have a hard time naming just one. But this one was a massive win recently

Very happy to own my favorite Pokémon game in mint. New buy. The whole fam together:

Yeah this wouldn't surprise me at all (I haven't seen data, but I'm sure someone has analyzed it). I've also definitely found myself responding to a video by thinking, "Oh I should have bought this game already. Let me check it out."
