Some insight into the VGA
I found a video about the VGA and thought I'd share.
The guy makes some good points about the VGA.
Since paying attention to them I can give one example from what I saw. I won't name this particular game as I don't think it will be beneficial to me as I don't want to mess with the volatility of its value. But I purchased a game about six months ago for $65 of course factory sealed as I'm using it as a VGA example. Anyway I would estimate the grade it would get would be a 7-9 which I know is a huge and major difference in grade and value. I semi pay attention to comics and the CGC and even precious metals coins so I get the grading process.
Anway that same game I payed $65 for was on ebay VGA graded I think between a 8.5-9.5 I really can't remember as it's gone now and you can't see anything about it anymore but I know it was there. Anyway the price they were asking (don't know if it sold) $8.xx.xx WTF
Now I totally understand a grading process specially with other mediums but between there only being one company doing it in video games there doesn't appear to be any kind of a general standard. Just what they make up. The day they make grades available for public access I will consider using them.
