    Or are cib collectors wanting to remove wrap to justify to themselves that there is no difference? if one “doesn’t care” about shrink wrap, one doesn’t need to remove it either.
  2. Bronty
    Yes, that’s already clear. Still makes no sense value wise IMO (eg a 9.2c+ will outperform a 9.2 NS on the market) . But, if you enjoy it and don’t mind, why not
  3. Bronty
    Makes no sense, I agree. Value wise anyways. If you don’t care then go for it

    just search on wata once you bring up HA Doner. That'll bring them all up. Once you get used to the site you will see that its well designed https://www.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?N=0+793+794+791+792+1893+1577+2088&Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&Nty=1&Ntt=wata&limitTo=all&ic=homepage-search-A-K-071316

    thx for pointing me to them. That part I'm not suprised about!

    I’m surprised that the thoughts on it are generally positive. I didn’t care for the fact that it seemed to reduce the hobby to speculation and nothing else. Certainly there’s that element and a discussion of that is fine, but the fact that people love the material in the first place is why those conditions can exist and there was next to no discussion of that.

    Yeah It’s a big range because they have completely different grading criteria
  8. Bronty
    They are one and the same. If wata graded games sell for big money, IMO that's the best advertisement of their services they could have because ultimately sellers will use whatever service they think will get them the best price.

    87-92 in Canada on first party titles.

    Hard to tell, but seller definitely looks like someone that could be asked and get a decent answer. Good lead.

    thx. Comics from that era are mostly worthless but have great game ads all over the place. He's taking $1 comics, cutting them up and framing single pages in $10 frames, and trying to sell the package for $35.

    most of them look like glossy poster paper because they are likely inside front cover ads, or back cover ads, or inside back cover ads (since all of those, along with the front cover, are printed on a single double sided sheet of paper which is then folded. One sheet, four pages. This one, he got a little lazy or thought the 007 connection was good, and he took an inside page, note the newsprint paper https://www.ebay.com/itm/1983-Victory-Games-James-Bond-007-Framed-11x14-ORIGINAL-Vintage-Advertisement/362848288784?hash=item547b718010:g:Cd4AAOSwqwxd8qD2

    anyone reading comics from the early 80s saw this ad a million times. Note the height relative to the width fits with a comic page. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Burgertime-1983-Atari-Framed-11x14-ORIGINAL-Vintage-Advertisement/193253939168?hash=item2cfed517e0:g:7sAAAOSwFN9d8qBU

    I don't think the poster is legit either. Many of the items he's selling are clearly pages cut out from comic books; I recall some of those comic ads vividly, can see they are on newsprint, and he sells comics too. Note this: " framed and matted, final size 11x14". " The implication is that the paper inside is smaller, say the size of a comic book page. I suspect this DW2 poster is just a inside front or back cover of a comic with the ad cut out. The dimensions do not suggest a 'poster' size item.

    Lol nice!
  19. Bronty
    Would likely have been painted on illustration board and then printed onto a cel later. Nice choice!
  20. Bronty
    Lol yes!!

    Well we are talking sealed here so labels wires etc etc all don’t matter?
  22. Bronty
    Got my first one the other day
  23. Bronty
    The short answer is what you remember as being a perfect job would not hold up today. Reseals with the line are nothing new, i first saw those over 15 years ago. At a glance or in crappy pics they look perfect. But they don’t hold up to close inspection.
  24. Bronty
    The way I’d put it is that the sealed whole has a floor value equal to the inherent CIB parts on a like for like basis.

    It definitely needs to walk its own path I agree. Understand though that the parallels being drawn are not between the active part of the hobbies themselves (reading, playing). The parallels being drawn are from the perspective of demographics impacting value. (Many 12 year old readers turned into many 50 year old collectors turned into items worth $$$ - and many 12 yr old game players resulting in adult collectors resulting in $$$).
