I recently sent my first order to WATA and included some CIB I purchased on NA back 15 years ago. Some advice that helped me to choose to pay $55 a game was "if you never want to open it, or if you feel nervous opening the box, then get it graded". They were urban champion, ice climber (both with seal intact), metal storm, and kid icarus which I always was nervous about wrinkling or damaging. No doubt WATA has completely changed this hobby. As someone who was never that fond of VGA, I hope for the better!
