Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Preview Trailer

[LaughingElfMan]

I've had a very nice condition, complete copy of the TP preview trailer for DS for around 12 years. My question is this: Will any of the grading services grade and encapsulate it for me? To be frank, I'm more interested in the encapsulation.
Alternatively, does anyone know of a good protective display for it? I could probably make something, but I'd rather find a professional. Thanks!

Yeah, that's the one. Came with a flimsy cardboard sleeve that I've somehow managed to keep in great condition. Its value justifies plexiglass protection.

ok my only experience is with CGC and its been a good one however it looks like they dont do DS carts with out cases even if they didnt normally come with cases:

that may change, it may not, who knows.
I would avoid wata from all their past drama so that leaves VGA. You might shoot them an email and ask them straight up.

anything in my collection that holds a value of over $1k monies i would slab too. sadly slabbing a sharp NES tv is far from practical at the moment

[LaughingElfMan]

Yeah... the Sharp NES tv would be a tough one. I guess maybe a plexiglass box with one removable side?
Anyway, it looks like VGA considers the TP Preview Trailer cart to be something "beyond their expertise." Sounds like a cop-out to me, but I don't see a point in arguing.
Before I start the process of making my own display for this thing, does anyone know of a prefab one that would fit?

if it were me i would get one of these:

and stick it all in one of these
