[ When to VGA Seal a Sealed New Game or Item?]

Post#1 » Sun Feb 14, 2016 12:13 pm

Hi. Is it advisable to have VGA seal (not totally sealed it has slit to breath- not sure about that. sometimes ants that plastic seal on disk sometimes and no protection from water (like Evan Austin's collection on youtube, God forbids). Maybe they should vacuum their acrylic casing and custom silica gel lining on top) all sealed new games (and unsealed but brand complete/CIB new controllers) for the Dreamcast? The VGA service is 80 dollars at most not including shipping which could be times 2 back and forth- definitely more than the purchase of sealed new Dreamcast stuff.

Thank you. Happy St. Valentine's day.

God bless. Rev. 21:4

I honesty would highly not recommend VGA. Anyone can have their stuff appraised to get that VGA seal by any means necessary. Hell you can piece together 5 copies of the same game all with varying build quality and condition, scavenge the pieces together, and *BAM* VGA seal 88 right off the back. When it comes to authenticity getting any CIB game, having it resealed by how the game came package at the time after some extensive research and a plastic sleeve like this would be a better investment and would just look just as good as any VGA product sitting right on your shelf.
