This process represents the professional assessment and authentication of collectible games. An established entity examines a game, evaluating its condition, completeness, and originality. Following this evaluation, the game receives a numerical grade and is often encapsulated in a protective case to preserve its condition and authenticate its status.
The importance of this service lies in its ability to provide transparency and standardization within the collectible gaming market. Benefits include increased confidence for buyers and sellers, the establishment of a verifiable provenance for valuable items, and the potential for enhanced value appreciation of graded games. Historically, the practice has evolved from informal assessments to a structured, professional industry, mirroring similar developments in other collectible markets.
