I GAMBLED, GRADING THESE VHS TAPES SIGHT UNSEEN; WAS IT WORTH IT?
I had a good chance that these desirable Star Wars VHS tapes would be in good condition ... but I wasn't sure just HOW good they'd be. IGS just sent them back after grading, and I find out in a live unboxing.

Congratulations! Thanks for taking us along for the ride
Sweet video 🤘🏻
Happy for you with the graded vhs..
Nice! Congratulations! You are due some good news. Thanks for the good info JIC I come across something like that sometime.
0% sellers fees. That is a home run. You know that they will make it a feature item. And 0 hassles. What a deal
Awesome grades there Troy!
Way to go man. Excited to see what you get.
congratulations on the grades! good luck with the auction. Cheers, Julien
Congrats!!
Hey Oh!!!!

That’s so awesome Troy. Congratulations!
AWESOME!!!!!
Wow, that was awesome!! Sooooo happy for you!!! :)
Thanks for the video
Way to go Troy, love it when you have a gem to sell.
Congrats on the SWs!
Epic!
Very cool!
I just started looking at thrift stores for dvds and blurays. I already had a small collection, but trying to add to it. I haven't had any streaming services for a while. Even when I had them there wasn't much I wanted to watch.
Congratulations. Awesome!
Nice Grades on the VHS. Hope you and the Mountain Family are doing well Take Care. Out
Definitely go with Golden!
Be careful with the auction houses. The really top tier tapes go high, but I have seen a lot of other items go for the cost of grading or less.
Great Grades
Those are some great grades. Graded VHS are such a good display piece.

I have a spawn vhs that I want to get graded. it's sealed but has a dollar general price sticker on it. Can it still be graded high with sticker on it or remove it. If remove how? Thank you for your help

Is it an original sticker? Some collectors like those on there. You can try to remove it with a heat gun/hair dryer, but risk melting and damaging the shrink. Grading companies will remove stickers for a charge, but also you have to sign saying that you understand it could damage or there be unseen damage underneath. (The adhesive can eat away at the plastic)
You need to consider fees from Goldin Auctions -- really any established auction house. Keep in mind that they usually charge 15% on the sell side and then another 15% from the buy side (buyers premium). So, if you think eBay fees are high then wait till you see what auction houses charge.

Good. I bet your youtube presence was helpful there. They'll get some good publicity. So Goldin will only pull in the buyers premium. @@MountainManTreasure
How much do they charge you to grade them each one thank you God bless

Depends. They have sales off and on but I think on average about $45

Beautiful pieces. Those fern gully stickers are so distracting though. I wonder if for future submissions if they offer a service to remove things like that professionally. Just a thought. Nicely done though!

Yeah they can remove stickers I believe. Some don’t like them, some do as it is more “as it was”

@@MountainManTreasure No news at all, I was about to send some cassettes in and was surprised too! I gather the competition i.e. CGC, AMG, REWIND, BECKETT etc was too much. I did like their horizontal cases for some music cassette titles.....oh well.
I don't think this will go worth anything extraordinary anytime soon though. There is no point, you will not enjoy selling it yourself in your lifetime for hundreds of thousands. No point on selling it for $1500 i would keep it at list 5 to 10 years then sell it.
