@Collinhall except that pokemon cards function lie exclusively in the art displayed on them. You can appreciate a Pokémon card in its entirety by looking at it, a game is different. Grading a game is done with the intent of keeping it sealed indefinitely. A game that is sealed cannot be appreciated to the full degree, it makes everything contained within the box/case entirely inaccessible. The manual will never be able to be appreciated, any other included papers will never be able to be appreciated, but perhaps most importantly, the game itself will never be played. Grading games is functionally identical to grading a sealed pack of Pokémon cards.
