Damn, not sure if i like these better lol, case looks better but that label looks terrible, I hope is just a teaser and the final version looks better

Hopefully soon, have just gotten this beauty after a veeeeeeeeery long time looking for a nice copy and was about to make the submission, but prefer a new case , any news on how it will be?

Damn I’ll wait then, and what if I want to replace my old ones for new ones? Is there any ETA?

Just arrived!! Dark cloud was my favorite game as a kid and my first ever ps2 game, I have so much love for it, now im just missing a sealed pal spanish copy which it is impossible to find

Hi! You guys know what the "wata legacy holder" is? I was about to make a submission and just saw it

Yes thank you! Also the SSX3 9.6 A+ didnt notice it wasnt in the screenshot. SSX is the first version, not the ssx tricky (still looking for a nice copy of this one)

Hi! I am looking for a sealed copy of Dark Cloud PAL version, hmu if you own a copy thanks!

Got my grades posted for my latest submission, very happy with the Dark cloud 9.6 A+ and the Dark Cloud2(japanese version) 9.8A+ ( the art is gorgeous) Also,very happy with the grade of the burnout 2 (was my first ever car game and it is actually pop 1) A bit dissapointed on my Dragon ball budokai saga seal rating only got an A. This made me think, what would you rather prefer, a 9.6 A or a 9.2 A+? Not sure myself on what I prefer tbh

Hi! You guys also check auctions on PWCC? They apparently also accept graded games now ( I just found out) and I was considering sending there 1 game i dont want anymore, but dont know if it will be less "seen" there for the auction

I dont understand this kind of attitude when I am just asking a question, but thank you for your comment I guess

Hi all. Recently I got my Pokémon games graded, and wanted to ask your opinion on how reliable/effective the cases are. According to their website, their case is UV protective, so I assume by that that we should not worry about sun fading or anything like that right? I got my games at the living room, there is light but the sun NEVER hits them directly ( there is never direct light to my apartment as it is north-west oriented. Should I be worried or can display them there without worrying? Also, my Pokémon red had a price tag on top and they removed it, just noticed there is now some kind of glue residue that I don’t think it was there when I received the games. Should I worry about humidity/condensation or anything even when they are inside the capsule? just trying to figure out the best way to preserve them

Interesting ill be following this as I also was considering sending some games. I contacted them and told me they only accept orders for a total value of at least 10k$. Did they also say that to you?

Finally back home

Just checked because I haven’t send to California yet, they were actually from December 22nd not January, sent to and shipped from Denver also.

But what service? I sent on January 2 PS2 games and they shipped last week, will get them home next Monday ( speed run service )

Another order shipped! Placed on December 22nd, 2 PS2 games has just been shipped! They really getting faster now, good news! I think I’ll be sending my other games soon there

Got my hands in one of my childhood favourites It is a shame the seal has some scratches, althought it has no holes or any big flaws on it, I guess this is an A, any chance of an A+?

My experience with wata for now has been pretty good too, received my speedrun orders a bit delayed but not too much. As you say I dont understand why they getting all the hate while not that many people complains as much about VGA. I would like to add that their "heavy cleaning" service has been really effective for me:

After 1 month shippment from the US and a lot of sleepless nights, these have finally arrive. Sorry in advance for so many pictures, but my excitement right now is HUGE

Even on their highest tier?

That’s particularly the case. These are the games I was thinking about. the Japanese game boy games were not sold with a plastic seal, they were just closed. Unfortunately mine are already opened but I think they are 100% completed that’s why I was asking if they could be sent to VGA and graded as qualified ( because I assume Wata does not grade these?) The thing is, if they only grade games that were never used, I don’t know if these would apply, as I think they have been used lightly

Hi! Im taking this back up as i am considering using this qualified service. What happened in your case? did you have to pay for the grading service in full?

damn, I think im gonna try some luck with VGA with 1 or 2 games I got, according to their website "archival" service is 10-14 day turnaround (how true can that be? lol)

Got this two bad boys this week

I am particularly talking about japanese pokemon games, got pokemon red til crystal CIB complete, and was wondering if they can grade them. I see that recently some japanese "unopened" games are poping up graded by VGA( they didnt come out with plastic seal, they are just unopenned) so I was wondering if they could grade also my games.
