    I mean, you would be the defrauded party, I guess. If you want to claim that you paid more money because it says "Carolina Collection" on it. Or you reckon the grade is wrong...

    I mean i probably paid less than the cost of grading the game myself since im in Canada so i think i got a fair deal...😂

    I've known Bronty a LONG time.  He's given me some bro deals in the past, mostly for the NES Sealed Contents List, so I know he's not afraid to take less now for long term gains.  I wouldn't be surprised if he's decided now's the time to cash out, in which case exposure is in his best interest.  That said, what I don't see him doing is intentional market manipulation to essentially rip people off.

    Speaking of the contents list though...I'm kinda wanting to get hold of one of the "Carolina Collection" slabs just so I can film myself busting it open and posting it on YouTube.  The VGA Gun*Nac was the last one I did that with, and that was ages ago...I still had fucking hair ffs 😛  Maybe I should start a GoFundMe 😛

    Which one you want ? 😀

    Honestly not for sale as i ‘’collect’’ sealed with no intention of selling except my doubles...it is possible to be in this for BOTH good reasons guys !

    I think VGA was historically overly tough. As stated above, few people want to participate in a market where beautiful stuff is getting an 85 or 85+. VGA’s biggest problem is, and always has been, its scale itself and its overly harsh grades. 
     

    I do think WATA’s seal grades have been too lenient, but recent orders make me think they’ve gotten significantly tougher, especially on newer generation stuff. Probably for the best. VGA, conversely, has loosened up a bit. 

    And thats why i bought as many cheap VGA 85’s as i could back when it was VGA only. I knew they were beauties and going cheap just because of silver vs gold grade.

    I think high grade Tecmo Bowls will continue to go up in price.

    My sleeper pick for a potential big time sports game sale is a high grade Sega Genesis Team USA (from 1992, "The Dream Team"), especially now that WATA and PSA are run by the same company. You have a rare game that is hard to find sealed representing the greatest team ever assembled in sports history and the fact, the game comes with some Team USA cards, so it appeals to game and card collectors.
