The 5.5 was ugly and the 6.5 was pretty nice as you mentioned. Way too many AF 15's hit the market all at once. I have a Hulk 1 thats supposed to go up in August. Is it possible to pull the book from the auction with heritage. Never thought about doing that but it seems like its going to be a slaughter in that auction.

Wow 6.5 just sold for 120k at heritage. I sold my 6.5 for 170k in the last clink auction and thought that was bad. I feel like Indiana rolling under the trap door right now.

The af 15 7.5 shot up in the last hour or so last night. Watching the 6.5 closely to see if there’s a deal to be had. Looks almost as nice as the 7.5

So if this were to be regraded it would have the same 9.4 A seal?

what I take away from Haspel's statement is that WATA's executive page is all fluff. They use people who have credibility in the industry and plaster them on a page that says executive team in big bold letters. A potential customer who is on the fence about sending their games in sees a guy who started cgc and think "if he's part of the team im in good hands!" When in fact he has no real role and by Haspel's own words he rarely does any work for wata if any at this point. This is disingenuous and makes me wonder what other shenanigans they would be up to. It appears they did the same thing with Dain using his good name for credibility even after he cut ties with the company.

He’s not thrilled with a 5000% return?? He was looking for a 50,000% return It’s his fault for not crossing over. Wata might be unscrupulous but the results speak for themselves.

For the 100th time why is Mark selling games on ebay graded by WATA when he works for or with WATA. The CEO stated and it is published in the new york times that no employee can grade with WATA or sell games graded by WATA. You have no answer for this other than whataboutism. Maybe WATA should do themselves a favor and make a statement on this instead of ignoring it.

im going out on a limb here but I have a feeling youre not going to get through to anyone on the other side of the argument. Seems like Domo can do this all day/night long.

So you’re saying he was able to get his games graded very quickly even though he’s not an employee?! or did he pay the rush fee to grade common Atari games? and Bronty chiming in and cherry picking one data point where Haspel turned a $50 Profit just shows how biased he is in all of this.

Because that’s how it works. When you do operate in a brazen manner you get cut down. That’s why Meyer Lansky died at 89 years old in his modest Miami Beach condo and John Gotti died in prison. You want to buy your an item from your own auction house and tout the sale in a pr release? You want to push prices for games and have a Mario 64 sell for 1.56 mil and act like that’s completely normal? Ok cool now you’re going to be scrutinized and expect the layers to get peeled back.

So youre resorting to whataboutism instead of debating facts surrounding the current situation.

Haha so you think a listed executive on a grading company website should know how to grade and sell his graded games on the open market when the ceo of said company said they don’t allow either?

Seths reporting is over the top. The one article lumping Politics into this was garbage. Mark Haspel having an eBay sales page selling Wata graded games is not a good look. That’s a fact. Let’s see if there’s any further investigation. I’d be willing to bet he’s selling More than common Atari games.

Is he biased? I havent noticed!

Why hasnt he assigned a pedigree to these yet? "The Executive Collection"
