SGH sealed game grading

hi buddy!

First of all: very good questions! I think i would ask the same questions too!

answer #1:
Well, we all are sealed collectors for at least 3 years and I wouldn't work over 300 hours on our page if I wouldn't love this hobby.
The primary meaning of our page is to support this hobby and to eliminate problems caused by a wrong condition description.
If I want money I work for some maths projects for at least 25 Euro per hour (I am a maths student) or I start to program some webpages for at least 35 Euro per hour.
Even if I would have a criminal potential, a hourly rate of 770/300 Euro (which is around 2,57 Euro per hour) doesn't seem very well paid ...

answer #2:
The first thing I can say is: We have a lot of experience! Thousands of hours have gone into browsing the web for more informations about the different seal styles, more informations about good protections and so on... . So we all put our knowledge together and built a experienced team.
Of course we do not have any education! We start the whole grading system this year and we were the first one (yes we started our grading system before VGA started their grading). So their is noone out there who have ever done this before with video games.
But you can say we all created our own education over the last years. But its a good idea. Maybe we should offer a SGH education to pass on our big information pool .
Furthermore sealed game informations are more complex than often thought. And you do not only have to collect all informations you must create a network of other sealed collectors. And I think we have the biggest sealed collector community. I think i do not have to mention that this fact is very important for every project. Furthermore you get new daily informations. It is important that we share informations with each other and make sure that we all have a maximum of informations.

Havent every videogame magazine changed 100% to 10/10, just saying that many belive 10/10 scale to be better than 100%


But good initative, i think this whole site is fantastic.

Are your stickers on the inside or the outside of the cases? I can't tell from the pics.

the stickers are on the inside of the box.

Small info to everyone:
A big update is comming soon (in the next few weeks) to the whole SGH grading system! So stay tuned!

Hey i have one thought. Have anyone tried selling SGH graded stuff on ebay??!?
I guess this will attract best audience!!!

Do you have any population report for current SGH graded games? Would like to know how many games are out there and what kind of grades they are recieving.

The problem is the market has already showed it will not pay extra for graded games. Doesn't matter if it's VGA or SGH - the demand for graded games isn't that great. That said, I love my graded games and would love to see more selling.

I have a graded game as well. I highly recommend it, whether it be SGH or VGA.

For me I love my graded games. Eventually all of my personal collection will be sent in to get graded.t.

Most of the quality and good games are doing very well. Several have sold for record prices and demand is high.

Whats struggling is the crap that nobody wants in the first place, graded or not graded. And lets not forget that the poor economy has a big influence on every market, even ours. It would be nice to see grading take off and maybe we will see this happen next year.

I totally agree ... the demand for graded games isn't that great. We have a couple of SGH graded games but I think the majority of sealed collectors is not interested in any grading process ... the reasons? we asked a lot of sealed collectors during the last months of their opinions ...
The #1 reason was that most people think that they can describe the condition with many pictures (different angles) in a better way than any grading would do ... And I think they are right. You don't have many problems when you try to describe the sealed condition well. Of course not everyone have the knowledge to do it well but I think someone who don't really have the knowledge about sealed games do not really think about any grading ....

I don't care about grading at all. You're overpaying for nothing.

the only thing that puts me off is sending away a very rare item in the post and risking it getting lost or damaged .
i will try sgh grading soon , if pascal ever gets his new cases

they are coming soon (btw.: I think the German post service gets the World's Worst Service Award for being ultra slow )
stay tuned

LOL... this way i think VGA should start thinking about some titanium, carbon and bullet-proof cases. For insane people like you all dudes.
What do you do with your sealed games? You throw them to a wall or you have claws instead of hands maybe, people?

has the grading website been stopped ?? the grading link now takes me to the marketplace and not the grading site ??? pascal ??

no the grading has not been stopped... we are working on an update for the hole grading process but it will take a few days (maybe weeks) ... we are collecting suggestions how the hole grading process could be more enjoyable ...

ok , thats fine
