But starting one for vinyl would be tough because you already have a system everybody uses. I went to a few comic cons and you could pay to have a CGC employee witness you getting an autograph to verify its authenticity for when you have it graded and I can't imagine anything more joyless. It's also kind of a "gently caress you." to the creator because it just screams "I'm not here because I appreciate your work I just want some of that sweet, sweet ebay money.".

Cemetry Gator posted:I imagine there's quite a few challenges. Oh yeah I don't disagree that that this isn't for everyone and at best is for a fraction of collectors. Even as someone who collects cards I don't care about buying anything graded and have only considered it for stuff that I want either some sort of extra protection to or would rather flip it and know I could get significantly more if it came back with a high grade. But a lot of record people are weird to begin with. People who just want a good playing copy wouldn't care for it, but you'd definitely have people who would go crazy for some high grade copy of an album, even if just to say they spent the money on it. Given how much other stuff in this hobby can go from cheap to reasonable to expensive to dear god why would you buy that, I'm just surprised nobody has tried to cash in on it.
