Hello guys! On a forum that I attend, there is a discussion about possible mistakes made by AFA. Someone claims that in the past they have graduated figures in fake or resealed cards. The figure in question is from the Black Hole series that I do not know. I am perplexed, do you think it is possible a similar error on the part of AFA? Every intervention of yours is welcome!
Thank you.

Not an AFA expert, or even fan. But, yes, it’s just some dude looking it over.

Yes. Hell there was even a Tanker awhile back who sent them a sealed in bubble yellow neck Serpentor that they opened and graded it as a loose figure.

That was the first thing which popped into my head - AFA ruined an incredibly rare piece and broke that dude's heart. I had never considered using them previously, but once I read that story I swore I would never use a service like that.

They had that big Star Wars reseal scandal back in the day.

Wow!.... Ok this is a big mistake indicating that AFA is not foolproof. Having said that, speaking of MOC articles, I do not think it is possible to grade figures in fake or resealed cards. I think it's fake AFA labels printed and attacked by other people to increase the value (and fraud) of certain pieces.
