    Well then we're all good! *shakes everyone's hands*

    Good job today everyone, we really nailed it! I'm letting everyone go home early.

    *thunderous applause*

    I've got a bunch of volumes numbered in the 20's so your all invited to my yacht after I get them graded through WATA and up on HA.

    One thing I think the comics folks are going to be disappointed with is how free of them the casual market really is, for the most part. 

    My comparison here being the difference in completeness. A casual comic collector who wants every Wolverine comic for instance needs to get every one of them, and the whole lot of em are the same - just a comic. But in video games you see people all the time sharing their "complete" sets of Franchise X on social media, and they have the cart games cart-only. There are tiers of options available, and I honestly can't see them buying up all the Mario 3 carts to try to game that specific bit of the market. 

    CIB was already pretty niche comparatively, and sealed far moreso; specific rare variants most people don't even register as a thing that exists. So they can buy up all the CIB Mario 3 all they want, but it will really only impact those specifically into CIB collecting, and let's face it - the vast majority of us who collect CIB already have Mario 3, and probably in pretty decent condition due to the not-scarce nature of it.

    I think there's going to be some interesting growing pains for the comic guys coming into this, and some potential surprises for them.

    Shit I have maybe 7-8 CIB games and SMB3 is one of them lol

  3. Ohhh ok - yeah the sealed and graded market a lot of people are taking a chance on. At least collecting comics and pricing has a pretty deep history with a sound grading scale. VGA and WATA are doing this for the game collecting market which is driving the trust for people to invest. Comparatively its no better or worse than gambling on other speculative things.

    The other part about buying the 10-20 sealed games and that driving the market doesn't sit well. I mean of course you would want to drive the market up by cornering supply and creating a pump and dump scheme. We are gonna have to get some FINRA regulations around the game market lol
