Sealed MarioLand Gameboy Game Graded at 85-90?

[Icarus Moonsight]

HAN SLABBED FIRST! END OF DISCUSSION! I SAID END!!!



Dude, it's not really you. Grading/slabbing is blight. I guess you weren't around when this shit hit the fan the first time. Eh, it happens. Very sore subject. Switch to VAG if you insist on continuing though.

[Igorr]

No, No, I am good. I am not here oftern enough to read everything about everything. I guess you guys dont like grading. Thats fine. Just looking. I am a loose nes game collector. I dont get the grading either. Thanks anyway.

I'm actually curious to how much a sealed Super Mario Land is worth, I think I have one somewhere that I never got around to opening(I remember getting one new back when the Gameboy Color first came out but I never opened it, I had a used loose cart so I didn't need to open it). I think mine is the Player's Choice version, what's the difference in value between the original version and the re-release?

Obviously I don't consider a graded copy to be worth anymore money, it's just a nice expensive container to protect the games without adding any more value to it.

Keep supporting this bullshit and watch it all collapse like comic books when they start grading CIB games and carts.

Good point.....that CGC nonsense with comics was silly....grading is so subjective anyway (one person's VG- is another person's G+).

But for some reason, grading was huge for baseball cards. It seems weird to me.

I got a VAG grade for a picture of a cart I found on the internet! They really liked this one, because I didn't know they could give grades over 100! I'll probably put this pic on ebay later!

Forget ebay, I'll take that beaut, and some maths lesson too if you got any?

Oh god. I had to go see his recent sales. Who in their right mind actually buys stuff like that? Silly.

I'd like to slap the next person to buy something from this guy *waits* yes yes.

I've looked through the feedback, and very few things actually sold. That guy mostly bought stuff from other sellers(including crazy bones for some reason, it must be a parent buying stuff for his kids). A lot of the sealed games that sold weren't even graded, and really didn't sell for all that much. Some stuff sold for a bit(new copy of Final Fantasy VII for $200), but considering that used copies still go for over $50 it's not that much. In general I see factory sealed games selling for way more than I would think they're worth, whether they're graded or not. Of course if I had sealed games I wanted to sell, I'd like them to sell for high prices too(I won't deny that).

I don't think I missed much from the feedback, did I miss anything really crazy?

Just make sure that you get back the copy that you sent. I heard from a reliable source that they remove the contents of the game boxes that they grade before resealing them. Caveat emptor is all I've got to say. Best of luck with your slabbed game.

Srsly? I'd believe it.

[Icarus Moonsight]

How to steal peoples stuff and charge them for it... Gotta slab 'em all!

[portnoyd]

Slab sellers spend a lot of money on the games themselves and getting them slabbed. They sell so few of them that's hard to believe they are turning a profit off of them.

Please elaborate. Wouldn't the customer realize that the seam was different/incorrect? Or wouldn't you at least notice the weight difference?

On second thought, what would be the point of pulling the game out? Example from OP, Why would the graders want a loose copy of Super Mario Land? Even with the booklet we are looking at about 5.00 on eBay. I wouldn't think that would be worth the possibility of a bad rep for you service.

Electric scales... We can get pretty accurate. The trifold and hori seams wouldn't be too hard, properly equipped.



Hey! Slabber! KILL!

[rpepper9]

Off topic, but the above photo of Indiana Jones brings to mind the new season of Robot Chicken. Anyone seen the episode where they have the guys constructing the tunnel up to the idol explaining everything as he goes to the chief of the tribe? And the chief is freaking out on all the money being spent!

Heeeelarrious!

[Icarus Moonsight]

We got the boulder!

[bgreenlee]

I just send out a sealed pretty mint looking MarioLand from 89 Gameboy game in to get graded. Value??

I have ALL intentions to sell it once I get it back in around 40 days. I assume it will get at least an 85.

Check the price-check section in NintendoAge or the "what's it worth" section of SealedGameHeaven.

Apparently, DP members prefer flaming to being helpful...

I give that White Knight a 7 out of 10; The East German Judge only gave you a 5.5. Try harder next time.

look at that ebay store...it saddens me. Every game that gets "slabbed" is another game that's essentially off the market forever. it's just doomed to sit on an ebay store for years.
