The claims in this video are completely baseless and defamatory and it is unfortunate that Mr. We're humbled by the support of our thousands of customers who trust us to provide accurate and transparent grading. Wata Games is the trusted leader in collectible video game grading and we're honored to play a key role in this booming industry that we are incredibly passionate about. Update: In response to this story, we've received a statement from WATA addressing the allegations in Karl Jobst's video. If you're wondering exactly how this speculative market is drawing such large and improbable sums, Abramson has an excellent (and lengthy) Twitter thread that explains his findings, and Karl Jobst's 52-minute video is also a fascinating exploration of the evidence and allegations so far. Various copies of the game in significantly better condition regularly sell for thousands of dollars ( another recently example graded 9.4 on the 10-point WATA scale ended proxy bidding at $43,200 back in July). ![]() This particularly funky Excitebike went on to sell for a still-substantial $1,800, which includes a $300 buyer's premium. So how much money does "blue seal" privilege net Heritage annually?- Seth Abramson August 24, 2021 That beat-up, disgusting, low-grade, used copy of NES's EXCITEBIKE is at $500+ in proxy bidding, so it may go for $1,000+ in the live auction tonight. At Heritage, mold gets a *blue* seal.- Seth Abramson AugDoes it matter? Hell yes. At Comic Connect, they have to sell red-sealed games. The red seal-again, as I understand it-warns buyers of this, and consequently significantly reduces sale price. As I understand it, moldy games eventually disintegrate, even in WATA cases. Abramson believes this may indicate preferential treatment for Heritage Auctions. However, a mouldy copy of Excitebike sold recently (24th August) by Heritage Auctions - which has very visible mould across the front of the box - was rated 5.0 but carried a blue sticker rather than red. ![]() One example, a mouldy copy of SNK's Alpha Mission for NES up for sale at Cosmic Connect, has a grade of 6.0 on a red rating sticker on the top right of the box - a clear indicator that the game inside isn't in the best shape and, according to Abramson's understanding, specifically that mould is present (on the back of the box in this case). ![]()
