Video games. Who would have thought video games would be sealed up in boxes only to never be played? Check out the price differential for a graded video game - the one on the left wasn't graded and sold for $250. The one on the right was graded (100/100) and sold for $1.5k. On the surface, these LOOK like the exact same game, but I don't know a damn thing about Pokemon so maybe the $1.5k is a different version? I dunno. Maybe @franalations knows...

I'm pretty sure grading through #vga costs anywhere from $30 up to $350 (depending on what options you select when having your game graded)...at any of those grading prices - it looks like it was worth it - a 600% increase in sold price from 'not graded' to 'graded'.
