The Collector"s Quest ·

2019/03/12

We're talking with Deniz Kahn, the President of Wata Games, about certification, grading, and where the collector's market for video games may be headed. If you're not about encapsulating your games and think they're only meant to be played, we're still talking about Wata's educational efforts like their recent comprehensive NES black box guide, and tackling the classic issues like NWC vs Stadium Events. This episode is super long so I bet we also got an iam8bit Mega Man jab in there

The Collector"s Quest ·

Not just things that have no value, but things we overpay for and getting caught up buying things that we can't ascribe as much value to down the line. If you have objects lining your shelves you wish could just be converted back into the cash you paid for them so you can buy the big thing you really want, let us know if we missed anything.
