ConsoleCollector88 | 8 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Do loose discs affect value for sealed games? Is VGA or WATA able to put these back in place by chance? Didn’t see anything for this on either website so just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,721 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 It's possible to get lose discs back in place without opening the case. I don't know whether either grading company would perform this service, but I would guess no. I have no idea if they figure it into the grading, but regardless, keep in mind, there is nothing preventing the disc from becoming lose after the game has been slabbed.

Good point I supposed I didn’t even thing of the slabbing. Ugh that would drive me crazy if it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I've seen Wata games with *loose disc in case* on the back label, so they do note it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 3,820 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Open that sucker up and put the disc back where it belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptOut | 8,881 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I got a loose disc in one or two of my sealed DC games. Of course I would prefer for the discs to be in place, but honestly it doesn't bother me that much as I never intend to open and use the discs anyway. I would be far more upset if I picked one of my favourite games off the shelf to play and found the disc loose and scratched! But, in the case of sealed games, the use value is not really a concern, and even if the disc is loose you can't actually PROVE that the disc has been damaged without looking at it... Schrödinger's disc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
