Whats so wrong with AFA and how does it truely take ANYTHING away from collecting?
I think it looks pretty cool. I mean the guy is keeping his stuff MOC and MIB (is that "wrong" too?) so what does it matter if he puts it in a cool looking diplay case especially after it being graded? Honestly, regardless of the value something that lasted THAT long in THAT good of condition, I feel, should be displayed. Keep up the great work Fire Fly, and please keep those pics coming. We may be a wee bit jealous of your collection but your pics not only help to preserve and re live your joe memorys, but ours as well. |

Nothing is wrong with AFA if you are collecting the figures to sell someday, or to increase the value over time, or even to just protect them forever. If you are not ever planning on opening your joes then i say go ahead and grade your figures if you want to. For collectors like me it would be a waste of time as i am going to open them someday when my son is born and old enough... |

There's an appropriate place to voice opinions on the matter, and this isn't it. If you don't like it then just ignore it, or start a protest thread. I'm tired of you barging on threads people are having fun in and going on about how you hate this or that because it destroys the hobby. Your attitude is destroying the site. ON TOPIC: Fire Fly, wow man, I envy your collection! Some very nice pieces there, and I love how pristine they all are. Wish I had the time/resources to pursue the hobby the way you do! And come on you gonna go run away because I have an opinion and its gonna destroy the site...yeah I don't have that kind of power unless you give that power and leave. But you and everbody else can say what they want on here as long as you follow the mods rules we are all cool.
