Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Personally, I'd say no. That guy probably made the video before he sent all of the games to Heritage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,488 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Thirty years after the system died, you can still find sealed copies of most of the games. The only ones that might (might) be worth a little something is the very first run, the ones with the text labels. Even those aren't like must haves.

jonebone | 1,307 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 No, people will lose a lot on them if they bought anywhere near the peaks of the initial hype a couple months ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californication | 1,477 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Yas queen. Right up there with Beanie Babies and Bitcoin. Sealed Atari games have such a small following there is only room for growth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be the only crossover appeal title that would sell to a casual sealed collector. But yeah. I'm not gonna watch the video but the title screen tells me all I need to know.

No I'm watching his videos, I actually feel sorry for him, here's a wata unboxing he posted Multiple graded atari ets and assassins creed for 360 that arent even good grades, this is the last guy who should have a channel giving advice to collectors/"investors".

He's advising people to invest in the exact same games he just got back from Wata. I'm guessing that's because he's selling or already sold them.

Armageddon Potato | 124 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I'm not a sealed guy at all so I don't really get the appeal of having it sealed, let alone graded. I prefer my personal evaluation of condition over some random shadowy company. Maybe he's working for WATA? Random hypothetical thought: You guys ever wonder if too many different sealed grading services ever cropped up during a grading craze or something the whole sealed market could possibly crash?

Hahahah his constant disappointment with the grades is funny to me. "Another E.T. in..... 8.0" (sigh) *flips game back and forth* "guess they saw something I didn't". It strikes me as a guy who really doesn't understand the grading scale or nuances with factory sealed condition. Going by the comments, seems he is submitting some games from factory cases and just assumes "factory case = 9.6 A++" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,395 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Not sure how I missed this guy until now. This is gold. Is he active on social media? Anyone know who he is? His Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition is sweet (not sure if it’s worth $30k like he says, lol). I enjoyed that his 5 must have Atari games are 5 games he has and then says you should own them in the same grades he owns them. How convenient! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,395 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Ughh, in this guy's Tyson video he says the Rev-A means it's a revision because the bullets were changed from white to orange. People making up their own definition of what Rev-A means is such a pet peeve of mine. And these are the people dumping $10,000s into this market 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange | 1,700 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I just worked up the courage to watch the video. Gross. I hope I never reach a point in my life this low. It’s like if I just kicked the down the doors into the rubber duck collecting community and started assuring everyone that their rubber ducks were now worth thousands and only for the elite collectors and their portfolios. While knowing jack shit about rubber ducks other than some tidbits of research I did out of a thirst for profit (rather than interest). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,005 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 A month ago a certain graded Atari 2600 game sold for $9000. Last week a higher grade of the same game sold for $2600. It has ups and downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
