Count Hologram | 23 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Anyone know if there’s a comprehensive list of all the games that were graded from the Indiana Collection Pedigree with Titles and Grades? I’m currently in possession of one and curious about the others in the collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulag Joe | 582 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Wata doesn't release any information in regard to population reports. With that said, may your journey continue to be curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 3,837 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I will only recognize your pedigree if it consists entirely of Indiana Jones games. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californication | 1,477 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I don't remember hearing the details about that collection, I think the Florida collection over shadowed it at the time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Jones collection would make sense. Indiana collection on the other hand, some guy from Indiana sold his stack...yippee! Cant wait in 10 years time there’ll be like a 100 pedigrees and looking forward to seeing some more fancy names..

Ferris Bueller | 495 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 The Ferris Bueller Collection rings nice. I could see a separate DW collection. Guess I gotta sell first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of the "Paul Collection" I found on eBay a Wata graded CIB copy of Phantasy Star that scored a 1.5. It's gorgeous with all its mold and mildew stains, tears, and the like. But I cannot afford it because I do not qualify for the "Paul" discount. Which is why I am dubbing my collection the "This does not qualify as a pedigree" collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPX | 1,369 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Just to be a party pooper, and to clarify, I thought a pedigree is only for sealed games with proven origins from where it was purchased? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It totally depends on the grading company, and if they do the whole "pedigree" shtick. But I think you are right since they need proof that the collection do not contain resales, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you hear that? Dain's collection became the "Carolina Collection" just because he and Jeff decided it should be, and they ALSO happen to sit on the board of WATA, so they can say and do whatever they want to PUMP UP the prices of their games. Unfairly. What games, in fact, exist in the "Carolina Collection"? Is there a list, a definitive list anywhere? Where is the verification process, or the justification or criteria that each item had to fulfil in order to be included? Did Dain buy all his games sealed, original owner? He never bought games from others? He never, I don't know, SET UP A WHOLE WEBSITE JUST SO HE COULD BUY GAMES PREOWNED FROM OTHER PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD AND COBBLE TOGETHER A COLLECTION PIECE BY PIECE OVER TEN PLUS YEARS???? If Dain went to GameStop one day before the sale, does his sealed PS4 God of War count in the "Carolina Collection"? It's bullshit. There is zero accountability, zero transparency, zero information, zero integrity in videogame pedigrees, fullstop. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the means a company like CGC offers a pedigree the "Carolina Collection" feels too much like a cheap ploy to promote Wata. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeets | 2 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Only folks who have access to Wata’s population database is through the relationships with board members (i.e. dentist dude dropping mad coin on big titles off key members) or Heritage Auctions who has a vested interest / partnership with WATA behind the scenes. Rest of us normal joes are unfortunately out of luck and that “coming soon” mobile app thing is comparable to VGA’s “database lookup” from back in the day. 10 years later and waiting ;). Never understood why the “secrecy” behind population stats in this hobby. Can only assume its to protect value of certain titles in ownership that most others don’t have. Appearance or assumption of low population = higher purchase values (i.e. “sales” on HA). Edited February 26, 2021 by DirtyDeets 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's also the opposite. If I find that a particular variant exists and is especially rare, I might want to tell the world, but probably only *after* I get a copy for myself... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
