Hey guys. I have been searching high and low for a AFA loose straight arm Cobra Commander for a while. I saw a few AFA graded without a file card. Then I saw this one with a file card.
http://cgi.ebay.com/1982-Mail-Away-C...QQcmdZViewItem When I was looking a couple months back, a regular straight arm with no file card sold for $399.99 on ebay. If I bid on this one, how high do you think I will have to go to win it???? |

Sounds like an expensive item. But at the same time, it was "only" graded 80.

Cause it was a mail-in, maybe? Those came loose, right?
Or maybe it's from the factory or from some direct sale of some sort...

I contacted the guy who is selling it. He says that it was a mail away figure mint in baggie, so the figure was never touched by human hands.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I do not buy in to the whole AFA deal. With all due respect to AFA as a company, how can one call themselves "the Authority" when there is nothing/no one else to rate yourself against? Side Rant: A friend of mine sent a MINTASTIC figure to AFA for grading. The figure, MOSC, received a grading of 75. Angered by this nonsense, my friend contacted AFA and was told "it is what it is". He then sent the SAME PIECE back to AFA under his girlfriend's name & address...and the SAME PIECE came back with an AFA grade of 90. Go figure. Ok, back on track. I don't know why the seller in question is referring to this piece as uncirculated. As for how much it will go for....or how much to bid, that's completely up to the buyer in question. I know I personally wouldn't pay more than $50 for it. |

Actually.. I don't think anyone in my country even cares. On topic: If it's a mail away, it's absolutely _circulated_. If the seller claims it's an uncirculated figure, it should come straight from the factory without entering the market.

IT IS UNCIRCULATED!!!!
THE BIG "U" in front of the grade, means AFA deemed it UNCIRCULATED! It's probably one of those Mail Away Cobra Commanders that came straight from the factory. The person who got it graded, must have kept it nice and fresh in the factory sealed baggie. That is the only way it could have gotten a UNCIRCULATED grade. Plus with that filecard, I think it will go for a pretty penny! |
