With sealed and graded retro games now reaching millions at auctions, many are flocking in to get a piece of the action.

Looking to expand its business outside of just TCG and sports trading cards, Collectors Universe — owners of PSA, PCGS, and PSA/DNA — have just purchased Wata Games for an undisclosed amount. The authentication and grading company is looking to capitalize on the untapped potential of sealed games spannings from generations of consoles — even Skyrim is already selling for $600 USD.
