Fuck WATA for trending this bullshit. Like sure, it might've been a thing that was already going, but when WATA got into the picture, they amped it up. So now we've been seeing these people run around just securing their collections in little cases, getting little stickers and they're going around artificially inflating the value as to what to sell games by.

When, WATA has been shown to be operated by a bunch of hedgefund cronies that are definitely running money laundering schemes and are in court over things.

If you're an aspiring collector and you buy one of these kinds of games, you're the fool.
