According to Twitter User @pripyatbeat, a friend of theirs had an A+ graded original boxed copy of Pokémon Yellow destroyed by US Customs, including a broken acrylic case, a ripped seal, and the front of the box was sliced off. pic.twitter.com/Qfv72M5cqp

Grading is the biggest scam in every hobby.

The big boys manipulate the market to make you think something is worth that but in reality it just changes hands within a small circle.

Yeah, the whole grading thing is shitty. Sad for the person who got their copy of the game destroyed though. It was still worth a few hundred dollars I think.
