“My return address has my name on every package I ship.”
CEO informed HR that his son is coming for a scholarship interview.
CEO firmly reminded HR not to give special treatment to his son. Let him goes through the usual process.
I am quite sure that HR will be absolutely impartial during the interview.
Agreed. Unless an actual investigation comes out of this that reveals actual illegal/fraudulent activity (and I highly doubt this will happen), then I think the market will grow from this. Anyone hoping to see graded games fail are in for a rude awakening.
Scam-ception - Karl Jobst obviously made this video to bring more people to the market and pump his own collection. My documentary exposing this and more coming soon™.
“I live in Florida.”
Well there it is.
May as well stick this here as well. I’m sure a few of you will have seen this already:
The rip is bad enough but what in the world is the permanent marker on the front!? Does that say “Receiving?” Did nobody look at this before shipping it back to him…

That video is just insane.
I can’t imagine ever wanting to use WATA now given the entire situation. What an awful thing to do to someone and take zero responsibility.
Was this the same guy that was on Jake’s channel last night? I cant seem to find the stream, not sure if they talked about it.
They’ll probably get away with it too.
This video did not really say why at all. They also say its less then 30 graded higher, hard to know with no pop report
Disgusting.
The rip is one thing, but that permanent marker across the front is unbelievable.
Grading company damaging the collectibles submitted to them and dodging accountability isn’t really new at all. Plenty of evidence suggesting PSA and other companies have done the same thing in the past with trading cards, though in fairness the these incidents occur very infrequently. Though they ARE known to occur, so anyone submitting their cards/games/comics should be aware of the miniscule, though very real, odds of their collectible receiving damage in the grading process.
The ending of the video was uncomfortable to watch. I understand seeing the damage in person was upsetting, but he could’ve edited out the his man-child reaction and actually taken the time to examine the writing more thoroughly on camera (its hard to tell but to me it doesn’t look like its on the game). Instead he thought it was a good idea to upload himself whining and having a mini-meltdown. As someone who doesn’t know much about the graded video game industry or the problems currently going on with WATA, this video doesn’t really do a good job of convincing me of the existence of any issue other than “random customer has unlucky experience in a market known to occasionally grant customers unlucky experiences”.
“Oh, won’t somebody PLEASE think of the corporations”
Yeah dude this guy has reason to believe he has been lied to, lost hundreds (thousands?) of dollars from the value of his collectible, and his reaction makes him a ‘man-child’. How is he supposed to react? “Ah yes, I am one of the unfortunate ones, businesses should not be accountable for poor service”?
Someone just posted this in a collector facebook group. Not sure how common losing the games are at WATA
Oh don’t get me wrong, I would be furious too, but I wouldn’t leave my whines and nervous shakes in my video.
Lol wow, $199 declared value. Wonder what the game was actually worth
Assuming it’s the Game Boy Color game, the last 2 sealed copies sold on ebay for $1100
But given WATA’s turnaround times, at the time he sent it in, it could’ve been worth $200. Note the grading fee, that’s the price for the speedrun tier, which is currently several months backed up by all accounts, and that game was selling raw for $200 or less in early 2021, I think.
