  • Light Cleaning Most media have superficial dust, dirt, and/or debris that can be gently removed to increase the media’s appearance and grade. Soil, dust, and residue are expertly removed to avoid damage to your media while also making it more likely to receive a higher grade.
    +R200,00
  • Reholder You always want your media to be encapsulated in perfect cases but sometimes accidents happen. Chipped or broke your case? Make sure your collection is always looking sharp in new, clean, WATA cases for a nominal upgrade cost.
    +R550,00
  • Sticker Removal Through the Sticker Removal service, the WATA team may be able to remove stickers from the plastic seal on your media before encapsulation, which may improve the aesthetics and grade of media. This service, however, is inherently risky—often due to circumstances beyond our control. For more information, check out our FAQs. Note: selecting this add-on doesn’t guarantee sticker removal. If WATA’s team of experts determine that removal of the sticker is likely to damage the game or uncover pre-existing damage, rather than attempting to proceed, we will let you know that and refund the fee associated with this service.
    +R850,00
  • Post Grade Photos Show off your newly graded media with high-quality studio digital photos. You’ll receive three professional quality photos after encapsulation - perfect for sharing online! Note: These photos are separate from the high-resolution photos taken of your media before the grading process.
