Gulag Joe 54 Member · Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Interesting points from Reserved Investments. I agree, every other graded collecting market has population reports readily available. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DefaultGen 1,555 Member · Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I think everyone wants it. In the meantime we'll just have to go with our gut and not pay 7 grand for Winter Games on NES. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shmup 379 Member · Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Why would they rush to do population reports when they have people submitting the most worthless CIB & Sealed games? And aren't some Wata people working at HA? So they get even more money when the worthless games sell for $7k. They'll drag their feet all the way. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jnak25 5 Member · Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I actually emailed Wata the other day to ask about population reports, and was given this not so helpful response:Population reports are not available yet but will be when Wata has them ready. If you would like updates on when they become available, I would utilize the newsletter: https://www.watagames.com/learn/newsletter I then asked if they didn't have the reports available online yet, can they provide me the information on specific games, and was given this not so helpful response:As a start-up, Wata is still trying to accrue a certain number of each game in our database before presenting it to customers as ideal for reference. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience of not being able to give you that information at this time. Where's the transparency? Just provide the numbers, it's not that hard.

0xDEAFC0DE 624 Member · Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 It may not be iconic, but Winter Games for NES is a fun game (and I'll see myself out so you guys can talk about population reports) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gulag Joe 54 Member · Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 This is what they told me,in regards to the pop report: "We have future plans to release it as a merchandisable guide book." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All for the low price of $99.99!” These fiends make me sick. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FenrirZero 308 Member · Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) The only reason why I will dispute the need for a population report is that it would become inaccurate over time. But even then I do like looking up these things regardless if it is accurate or not. On 11/9/2020 at 9:58 PM, jnak25 said: Does VGA have population reports? I want to say yes, but my edit says otherwise. Not only does it appear that they dropped it on VGA, but they also have dropped a portion of their population report on AFA as well! Ugh.

Luciobar1980 20 Member · Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 “When WATA has them ready”. What’s to get ready? They should have been counting them on a spreadsheet since the first submission. Haha. Honestly though I’ve been saying the same thing about VGA not having pop reports for years. Comics and card TPGs seemed to figure out this counting thing a long time ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anytime I've asked about a specific game, they have been able to give me the info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
