Good points. I'm still not sure we will see enough of this happening for it to matter in 5-10 years. If there IS future demand, I think whatever supply exists will be wiped out quickly.
Well I'd better get my colour palette out so I can differentiate 8th print and 9th print of breath of the wild since no one takes photos of the UPC but in 20 years I'll be the one laughing with my gold mine of "hidden gems"
I still think that there will be some value in factory sealed Nintendo Switch games…only because its nintendo…but they wont be worth as the rare nes/super nintendo / n64 games… anyway…great video, as always…
best video yet I totally agree
Older games will always be king like comics and cards, they're hard to find in good condition and supply was just so much lower than the commercial society we live in. However it's worth considering that the current generations don't necessarily feel a strong connection to NES games etc. They have the nostalgia for newer systems. Xbox 360 and PS3 will be to this generation what playstation and GBA are to me. Everyone starts collecting what they know and what they like. There will always be value in grading high quality video games. I just think that the margins of increase on average will be much lower. You are right when you say that newer console games are easier to find sealed because of plastic cases etc. Another thing to consider now though is there are many companies producing low price runs of games, even though they might not be as sought after, certainly the supply is lower. Gaming preservation is becoming more of a hot topic as of late (especially with PS3 marketplace being shutdown). I think this will also drive interest and collectability of newer generations. You didn't have to worry about Mario 3 being gone one day off of the "internet marketplace". Great video as always Greg!
It's funny how some german "collectors" joke about people grading their games with UKG or some other non VGA/WATA company in terms of investing. On the other hand those "experts" choose the most expensive grading company and grade common 3DS or PS4 games worth less than the actual grading + shipping. I'd rather have a rare sealed/cib game than a 95+ Mario 3D Allstars or GTA trilogy. I guess those guys are endangered to be the first who will quit this hobby once their investment does not pay dividends. I don't want to know how many of all the games wata/vga has to grade every day are worth less than the grading and shipping costs. #teamjewelcase
Was really hoping you'd make this video! Love it Greg 🙂
What do you think about grading the limited run Mario 3 d world
I have this same conversation with so many people, basically feel exactly the same way.
A game needs time to increase value imo.. nobody gets emotional by looking at a picture taken 3 days ago
you should talk about more comics! i feel that’s a good place for investing
Makes perfect sense in my opinion. Like Beanie Babies, the more collected something is immediately when it releases, the less collectible it is likely to eventually become. The most collectible things are usually the things that nobody thought to collect in the first place.
This is why I don't collect every single game day one keep it seeled I just played the game
I completely agree although I do find myself buying newer sealed games from time to time. I definitely have better luck with the older games but I have had some good luck with new games as well. Another great video man you are so wise in the video game force haha!
