I agree, you can't even read the instruction manual which, for some of the older games, is almost more fun than playing the game itself. I will admit it would be cool to have an unopened copy of something like Metroid, but can you imagine having a VGA graded Mario Party 7, or buying a Viva Pinata and keeping it sealed? What about multi-platform games--are those variants?

Hey, I have 3 or 4 boxes in a storage locker full of old PC games with their boxes. I'll sell the lot for, oh...$250! Suitable for sending to VGA!!

it's only worth what you're willing to pay for - and this goes for anything. there's an elite brand of human scum out there that will exploit any human weakness for said human's money. what blows me over is the people that get taken by these uncontrollable passions, and are unable to stop themselves - everything from cabbage patch kids, tickle me elmo, pokemon cards to drug and alcohol abuse. i admit i go overboard occasionally, but i never spend beyond my means. having hobbies and interests is fun, but as soon as somebody tries to capitalize off of it, it just makes me a bit disgusted. human nature - can't fight it.
somebody always ruins it for everyone else. i've been looking for the futurama game for the ps2 forver, and the only copies i ever find are $60. takes the jam out of my donut. |

AFA is a bunch of BS. Do you see the prices dealers are asking for something graded AFA? How can anyone afford that? I perfer to buy junk and clean and fix it up. Same with video games. I buy NES games sometimes on ebay for a buck or two. They still work and thats cool with me. But I can see the collectibility in games that still have their boxes and manuals.

I like AFA and I do have my vintage Star Wars figures AFA graded. For me, it's not so much a value thing as it is a protection thing. But, to me carded action figures are different than video games. I didn't know there was even a market for hardcore video game collecting of this nature. But, everyone is different so if there is a market for it, why not?

do they grade the quality of the game itself, or just the condition of the case? If its quality, how the hell can they grade one of the original NES games. They'd need a brand spanking new NES for any accurate tests...otherwise you'd have to deal with the ORIGINAL blue screen of death that used to be caused by the games or by the NES console itself.
