Care to elaborate on play? Is your comment directed at disc based games/Genesis? I’d be interested to know if its towards cardboard as my expérience so far has been that 9.6 cardboard Are pretty way, WAY better than 9.4 and pretty damn close to mint, where a tiny flaw could be perceived with a naked eye but not immediately. If yours differ id appreciate the input. 9.4 is, to put it mildly, relatively « wide » condition wise... to the OP: statistically 9.2A+ scores between 85 and 85+ edit: thinking on this further, i can think of 2 submissions that had visible flaws on the front of the box and graded 9.6 even though everything else was flawless, so you may be right even for cardboard Jone... your input would still be appreciated.

Who’s Rob?

Hehe im not that brave unfortunately plus its already gone to grading... oh well. thanks for sharing still!

Good job! My best removal was a security bar code with some foil Underneath on my sealed king of dragon. Took 20minutes but I downed the bastard. Shrinkwrap is ok although a bit loose. Looks much cleaner!

I think it’s reasonnable to assume that the cib grading pipeline got jammed before the Price increases? (Heck even sealed as well) Wata probably saw a large influx of orders at the end of November, contributing to the still extreme delays... hopefully a couple months from now things settle. If not then perhaps they need more employees and manage expectations way, WAY better

Does anyone know how long theye’re backlogged still? My speed run order has been there for a month (meaning so far twice as long as advertised), with pre grading photos uploaded for 8days with no grades. This is frustrating as i thought they would be quicker post the reopening of lower tier. If i’m getting turbo service for a speedrun order, i’d expect to pay turbo prices, not speed run. Perhaps Wata could have 2 processes with 2 different backlogs, one for sealed and one for CIB? That would help them turnaround sealed quicker as cib grading must take wayyy longer... /end rant

I wasnt around then, but 1200$ really looks like nosebleed territory for sealed games in 2004 when i think about it.

Nice! This thread just got real!!!

This actually made me Laugh out loud. Heres a bit more incestuous interactions.... just for you sir!

I figured its time to juice up this thread with a « terrific trio » .

Yeah i mean, to be clear i don’t expect it to be the case at all, but since the data is there might as well check it out!

Great @jonebone Did you take a look to see if there is a pattern of « systematically higher » crossover grades from carolina collection 85+ vs other 85+ or are the results similar?

Kinda neat piece of history to own. The game is not too shabby either

I know right! First time i saw this in several years!
