So, I've never seen this item before.

If I was a scumbag, it would be very easy to fabricate unusual items like this.

...



Now you are scaring me...

This guy buys mine with original tags still on it and then 2 years later he suddenly has 10 new ones?!?!

You better believe it. You just don't know what's real anymore.

I've personally toyed with the idea of getting some custom embroidered shirts done with like a Sonic head or Sega logo or something since if you know someone with a machine (I do) and can get the design made (I know how to) it would not be very hard.  I doubt you could sell them though without getting issues from some company.

What's the lowest grading anything has ever gotten from VGA?  I don't think I've ever seen a 7 or lower.  Only 8s and above.

    I would imagine that people only try to sell the higher rated numbers.  The grading of Video Games is such a reseller tactic I mean I saw some nut selling a Boxed Graded PS2 SLIM NEW UNOPENED!!!!! for $1000.00 RARE!!!!!!


   I basically refuse to buy anything graded.

No one has tried to send a still sealed but badly crushed, used as dog chew toy, left in swamp for years crap to get it VGA graded for under 10 and sell it as the rare lowest ever graded game. Make it sound like the closer to a 1, the better.

I saw a listing for a completely worn sealed SMB that got a 5 or something.

NOTE: The reason why we do not see sub-8 or sub-7 gradings is likely the result of SELF-SELECTION, most folks are not going to spend $$$$ to get a shabby item graded. It seems reasonable to expect that most folks willing to pay for an item to be graded will send in items that are at least in "decent" condition.

I'm not saying there won't be some occasional outliers (i.e. clearly delusional fools, or rich bastards) who pay to have shabby items graded.

It was sealed, so I can see the owner trying to milk that aspect. Ha! I am sure the owner was disappointed.

BONUS POST: The used car industry has been using the euphemism "pre-owned cars" for decades now (I remember when "used" became "pre-owned", it was hilarious to me).

ANYWAY, I feel that the time is right for slimy sellers to start using "pre-owned cartridge"  and "pre-owned HuCARD" and __________.

Smile. :)
