Yes.
2nd one here!!!! 🙂
The hype is real right now for video games. Time to sell.
I'd rather bid a million on that 1933 Saint Gaudens double gold eagle that is coming up for auction in June lol
Wow, this guy who wrote this email is so naive…
These auction companies are pushing graded games and have no idea what they’re doing or saying. HA has up a copy of Pokémon yellow, wata graded, making ludicrous and provably false claims about its rarity in the lot description. The whole thing is a joke.
I was really surprised by Metro on this one. I like Jeff a lot but yeah that was quite the pump sending out "million dollar game" to everyone on the email list
I remember when slabbing a card was special.
I'm sure some Timmy will pull the trigger on that sale lol, BTW did you see the Castlevania Resurrection proto copy that someone had for the Dreamcast game? He tried to sell it on ebay but Konomi contacted him to return the game back. I believe it was going for 25K at the time when he was forced to stop the auction. I hope the owner of this rare game made a few burnt copies if he had to return it back.
Funny how they are releasing this game for auction , two weeks before the last season of castlevania comes to Netflix 🤓
Characters and their series' titles matter though. It's important to that niche of pop culture. These characters are becoming multi-generational Shawn, surely you see that. Simon Belmont is no exception. It's hyped to the moon, sure, but based on legitimate selling points.
Comic connect eh
The one dislike is from Comic Connect
Shawn you don’t understand, video games are going to the moon!!! Future generations that have no idea what this stuff is will spend whatever it takes to acquire it! 😂🤣😅
I enjoy your videos and look forward to new ones. A question/idea for you: walk us through all the books behind you. I assume they are antique/collectible reference books. Which ones do you use most often?
I’m just here to see if we get, “Shower Fresh Shawn” today.
holy shit can't wait to grade my vhs lol
Every single thing in the collectible market is pretty much manipulated!
I had received that same e-mail and burst out laughing when I read the "inspired by Frank Frazetta", oh boy…If "being inspired" by something is now a plus and a selling point, then I have been way too hard on THE ASYLUM film company and all their rip offs of big blockbusters hit movies over the years. So my apologies to The Da Vinci Treasure, Invasion of the Pod People, The Day the Earth Stopped, Titanic II and Ghosthunters. As you were all clearly inspired!
Everything you said was right, but don’t auction companies do this all the time with any of the things they auction?
Is ComicConnect the same guys as GoCollect who tried to turn NintendoAge into a inv3st0r HUB? XD
The big pushers are delirious lol
The voice of reason strikes again! Always enjoy your insight and side of the story. Thank you for making these.
Wait!!! There's actually a company out there that is grading VHS, DVD's and Blu-Ray's?? And worst yet, there's people who would actually bid on those? Stupidity knows no bounds…
This video game thing is absolute crap. Make your money and get out. It won’t last. It’s not worth it’s weight in rubber dog shet.
hahah you are right! a friend of a friend I meet him yearly on his birthday. He is a hotel room cleaner for almost 40 years (thats his net worth) but he thinks he is a millionaire because he happen to snatch a Heiniken bottle with brown residue from Freddy Mercury's room so he has his DNA and he is not letting it go for under 1 million Euro. I seen this guy for like 12-15 birthday parties he never got any offers lol.
You know, ift were a millionaire I wouldn't buy that game at that price. I'd rather buy it used so I can play it.
Whoever pays a million bucks for that video game will be "the last one caught with the bag…"
I love how they claim to know the population reports of the exact games that they want to hype up.
In my local video game groups of semi-long time collectors, everyone is using this moment to cash out big on their extra items. The surge may go on for a bit, but for the people that have already been holding these items for 10+years, they're the ones that are winning, not someone jumping in today to be the next long term investor of these things.
Lol .. what kind of nutty people are there, bidding more than a couple of thousands on old video games ?!??
Really would like to learn more about their backgrounds …
The hype in the video game market is real. Grading isn’t really a thing for video games in the land down under for a bunch of reasons but speculators are going wild, particularly for Pokémon games. Even sealed Pokémon games are in the cross hairs of speculators who think that because Pokémon cards are being sent across the globe to PSA and are being sold for huge profits and because WATA graded games are selling for huge amounts on heritage auctions in America that the same is guaranteed to happen to sealed Pokémon games if and when a local grading company manages gain market acceptance. I think they’re chasing a pipe dream but there is a lot of money to be made selling into this hype for collectors who managed to buy games cheap when they had the opportunity to do so
I actually enjoy collecting these games but the money you can make buying them raw, if you know what you’re looking for, grading them, and flipping them is just insane. Can 3-4x your money on a single game. Long term I do expect a decent sized retrace so I’m just keeping the ones I’m okay potentially losing out on selling.
9.2 a+ Wata = 70 Vga it's a poo copy. lol
As soon as I got that comicconnect email, I was yep all hype!!
I knew they would come up with a grading company for VHS tapes!!! Anything racist, cult horror will be good money
The Picasso next to the graded contra LMAO that is hilarious sh*t!!! It's like hundred of years from now they will be saying hip hop music is same as Mozart LOL
imagine a comic book guy voice: "Uhm, Shawn, they did say most sought after Konami 3rd party HT game, so Contra can't fit into that description as it doesn't have a HT release. I rest my case."
Seriously though, I was discussing this with a few other sensible people and I haven't seen a hype attempt like this since the Mario Bros sticker seal went onto Pawn Stars for a 1 million ask. It's a wild, wild, world in the video game market…
I think you are more right than wrong… Everything is a bubble, will the bubble pop or we get the next leg up is the question.
