Getting Sealed SNES Games Graded?

[chazraps]

Hey gang, anyone have any experience getting a sealed Super Nintendo game graded and then selling it?

I found a sealed 'Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest' and need someplace trustworthy so I can maximize the value and sell it.

Well, I certainly wouldn't trust WATA I know that much. I'm not really into sealed collecting tho, I collect stuff I can play, so I can't give you much advice on this subject.

Seconding this; a lot of the retro gaming grade scene feels pretty shady at the moment.

Sidenote, where'd you score a DKC 2 sealed? That's a pretty sweet find. And ironically the one DKC game I don't own

Thanks! Was going through some old boxes, it was a gift for my Dad 25+ years ago that I guess he never opened. Came across two sealed PS1 games as well (Poy Poy and NFL Gameday 98), the former seems to go for bout $140 sealed, the latter $18 so I think I'm going to open the latter and try to get it signed by cover athlete Jerome Bettis to up the value.

Man, if you get The Bus to sign your game that would just be the best thing ever. That's so f***ing cool man

I mean idk but the market is inflated so if you want to sell now is the time

A 9.8 on ha.com went for 18k last year (including their buyers fee) and a 9.4 went for 4.5.... so yeah do it now. Both wata graded

A fool and their money are soon parted.

Sell now before everyone comes to their senses and realizes what a scam sealed video games are.
