After a recent expansion into trading card grading, it appears CGC (and it’s parent company CCG) are seeking to dominate the world of collectables.

At the very least it sounds like they’re actually looking inside the box to make sure the game is complete and the media itself is not counterfeit, unlike VGA where they only grade sealed games so their notes basically amount to fetishistic descriptions of shrinkwrap creases

I need to learn how to make molded plastic - could crank out fakes all day....unless they have a console to see if they work!!

Conversely....make fake labels for the expensive games, buy up cheap beaters at yard sales, steam off the old other game label and add a new one!!!!...again..unless they have a console to see if it's the real deal.

I hope they start grading those beanie babies.

As far as counterfeit games, they would have to pop every single game open just to see whether the actual pcb is real. Those things are not too hard to replicate, but there are differences between the real and reproduction game. As far as the labels, the quality, while good, not as high quality of the real label. From far away, you can’t really tell the difference. But hopefully those drunk graders can at least tell the difference.

They could always open up a southern branch in Dallas. I'm sure someone there has a basement or garage they could work out of.

Maybe I'll send them an audio of one of my farts, and they can grade that on a scale of 1-10.

I'll be sure and stop by the local 7-11 and buy about a half dozen Big Bomb Burritos, take home and nuke them prior to recording.

ps... No gift grade necessary.
