justin Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 They probably saw the $$$ Wata has been rolling in. If anyone has a chance of taking them on, I'd guess it'd be CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wata has the worst cases of any grading company I have ever seen in my life. You couldn't pay me to own one of those unless it was for resale. VGA (AFA) and Wata are both backed up to the moon like CGC, PSA, BGS and almost every other collectible grading company, so the markets probably have room for competition.

I've always liked the WATA cases for video games. VGA seems too simple and having an old style casing look. In fact, the couple of video games I have that were in VGA casings were re-holdered by WATA. Also, when I feel the WATA cases have extra protection because it is heavier than the VGA ones and provides a clearer view of the overall grade and seal grade. Yep, VGA and WATA are indeed backed up really bad. I feel that CCG will be a real competitor and may wipe out the business of VGA completely.

Zeig Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Anyone know when to expect submissions to open? Later this year? Mid 2022? I was going to start sending stuff in to WATA or VGA but now I might hold off for CGC Videogames, just curious on the timeline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin76 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Just wondering if they grade all games, loose games, big box console systems, CIB, Accessories ect... I have a bunch of games to get graded, it'll be interesting if CGC can bring in higher $$ for a graded game than Wata. VGA only grades sealed games and nothing else.

A graded comic book can't be read, and a graded video game can't be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
