I got a yellow stalker that is on my wall right now that i would like to get AFA'd. I just don't think i have the money at the moment to do this? It looks like it cost $60, but that includes a hard plastic case. Im a bit confused, don't you get a case when you use the lesser tiers? Does it just take more time?

Okay, for all tiers you get an acrylic (hard) case. For the Archival Tier, which is the most expensive ($60) you get a UV acrylic case and they take about 3-4 days (I believe) to grade. With all other tiers you get hard cases, but they take longer and they are less expensive.

For the express, it should cost you $24 plus shipping/insurance.
I think it's M2 or something.

there expensive to grade, my birthdays next month so i'm going to see if some friends and family will give me cash to go towards grading all this stuff. when u want to grade alot of items at one time it gets kinda strange because with that money your going to spend on grading you could just use that money to buy more figures!!!!!! it's a catch 22!!!

Very true. I guess the best bet is to get your best graded. I'm gonna try to do that to avoid getting in that situation. It's tuff though.
