    I would go back in time with my homemade time machine and prove it but then you would just deny it so I'm not going to bother.

    Makes sense to me.

    Your train of thought trying to peg him as the christian crank is a joke. I'm surprised everyone is shitting all over buyatari. All he's saying is if someone here has one of those original shrink machines, and this person could make a totally dead on copy of an NES box, then do it and when you do it put a game in the box that's sealed with the word FAKE ON IT. Record the process, record the sealing, mail it to VGA, catch them in the lie, get it back graded, then crack that bitch open on camera and prove the argument.

    How does that sound fundi?? All anyone is doing at this rate is cementing in his mind people here can talk shit and not deliver and I wouldn't blame him either. If it can be done, just fucking do it and stop making excuses and stories. I personally would love to see the VGA house of cards kicked out from under them but I don't have the original 1980s shrink wrap machine or card stock/ink copying capabilities or I would do it. If VGA could pass that test then I'd probaby trust them, and if not then well that says a lot for their own credibility built upon blind trust and smoke & mirrors.

    You guys are so biased you can't even think straight. How is that the same?

    The dinosaur bones are the proof in that example. I'm not dismissing proof here. You are refusing to show it to me.

    This is more like refusing to believe an alien abduction story.

    Back it up and show me the bones ~!

    I think this is great.

    These arguments don't even make sense and it is getting worse.......or better depending on your enjoyment level.

    A qualified disc game and a strategy guide are one thing but if you want to seriously hurt the credibility then it would have be with their bread and butter.

    Fake a black box NES game from start to finish since it is so easy to do and post that video. Those games are selling for THOUSANDS each. Don't speculate on what I would think about it. If someone were to pull that off and prove it on tape then you would seriously hurt not only VGAs credibility but rock sealed game collecting to its core.

    You know, maybe if you folks wanted to stop others' arguments, you'd try to get the thread killed rather than, y'know, repeatedly posting one after another to essentially circlejerk each other and bump the thread back up the top.

    You're purposely calling attention to yourselves. It reeks of trollbait.

    If someone were faking a black box game to the point where it passed as real why would they expose it. I would be racking in my cash for as long as I could and take advantage of the community for as a long as I could.

    I'm more dismayed that the proposed solution/experiment here is to actually willingly commit an act of fraud.

    The only seal that should matter is this one:

    I don't understand why it took 8 pages of this nonsense for someone to say what is the most obvious thing in the world.

    If you have a person that's invested loads of money in making authentic bootlegs that can fool the VGA, why would they expose themselves? They wouldn't, it is that simple.

    Revealing yourself now would be like eating the goose that lays golden eggs just so you can tell your neighbors how delicious is was.

    It was a VGA Graded 75+ NM Sealed Game and Guide Bundle. Not a "Qualified'. Please refrain from changing facts.

    Of course. Same reason I don't prove my time machine.


    If they really were making thousands then they would be the biggest VGA supporters out there. These guys are saying that VGA is evil and want to see it gone. Making a video like this would go a long way towards that.

    Committing fraud at the expense of VGA makes oneself look worse than they will.

    If you sold them yes but no one (even VGA supporters) would fault a collector for producing a game only to expose VGA.
