If you are a collector of retro video games or video games in general, you're probably aware that the prices have jumped drastically over the past year and a half. During that time WATA Games has graded games that have gone on to sell millions of dollars.
YouTuber and SpeedRunner Karl Jobst recently did an expose video detailing what he believes to be blatant market manipulation. The video is well documented and goes over a lot of what popular game collectors such as Pat Contri (Pat the NES Punk) have been saying for years.

But that poses a question - is the Non-WATA graded market being manipulated as well?
Take a look at this video of Retronomics where I go over my thoughts on whether the retro video game market is being manipulated in the same way as the Wata graded games are.
