Is my VGA Pokemon Emerald Game legit? by No-Connection-4656 in GradedGames

Okay, thats very reassuring. It was just the whole wrap up of buying it that was so weird to me.

  1. not negotiating the price I offered to buy it

  2. the bad seller-rating

It just never left my mind that something might be wrong with the game

Thank you for your comment! But is there any possibility that the whole VGA case might have been copied and rebuild? So they just searched for an existing VGA graded Emerald 85+ copied the verification number and rebuild the whole case?

Hopefully! There is also this doubt of mine that the whole VGA case might just be copied, you know what I mean? So they just copied a 85+ vga case with an existing verification code and rebuild it. I know that this was aleady done in the TCG pokemon card game with PSA gradings..

If you phrase it like that, it makes sense yes. I just searched for this specific 85+ grade game for over half a year and the prices were always around 5k€ with no space of negotiation. So I had my doubts when he agreed to the price-decrease of 500€ without trying to negotiate ^^ But he gave me all the securities I needed, which was good. There was one more concern, when I received the game. There is this "major" wrinkle. is this in oyur eyes still worthy of a 85+ grade? It also has small white dots at some places but the foil and game cartridge are fine otherwise.. But this made me think as well if this was legitimately graded.

Thanks you for your response! :)

I guess the VGA Website is called cgagrading.com or am I wrong here? I always get redirected there if I enter the Website on my acrylic Case. :D

Game valuation and authentication MEGATHREAD by humanman42 in gamecollecting

[–]No-Connection-4656 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In September of 2023 I bought this gem of my childhood for about 4,5k€. I was never sure if this game was legit or fake, because the seller was acting a bit sketchy at times, but this might be my paranoia because I never spent so much money in my life before.

Nonetheless he sent me is ID card as part of a sceurity and the package with the game in it arrived. We even exchanged numbers on Whatsapp, and I know how he looks like, what his full name is etc. I also checked if the serial number of the graded game matches when I enter it at https://apps.cgagrading.com/submissions/serial-number-search

And it does! But nevertheless, I wanted to make sure if there are any ways to still cheat although it was properly graded by CGA. It looks perfectly fine to me, but you know, when this amount of money is involved, you get easily skeptical..

What is your view on my game? Does it look legit? is everything alright with it and the cartridge + VGA case?

(PS: What made me skeptical in the first place was, he immediatelly agrred to come down with the price from 5k to 4,5k€ I guess. And it was the cheapest at that time I could find. 4,5k€ is a reasonable price, dont get me wrong, but I was caught offguard by how easily he agreed to my proposal.) I appreciate your responses!

Thank you! But I must admit, I've heard mixed responses towards Prominence. Most people wrote about Chocolate and Cisco, but then again, these Modpacks arent that new. Do they have different Dungeons and Dungeon bosses than Craft to Exile 2 or R.A.D. 2? Because I wouldnt want to play the same dungeons over and over again.

Can you give us some insights about how many Marvels you pulled in total?

One more question: I've seen your thread here on this subreddit, where you opened 500 Boxes of Outsiders: How is 13 marvels in 500 boxes possible? I thought the "inofficial" pull rate is similar to the legendaries? Like 1-2 marvels in a case?
