Not hard to do at all. I understand your feeling, but I've had nothing but positive experiences with AFA. I've sent them figs twice and didn't have any problems. First of all you head to their website at toygrader.com and create an account. Then you go to the submission resource page and click on submit an item. It will take you to some pages where you fill out some simple forms. Once you fill in the blanks, you print the form, box up your item with the form enclosed and ship it off. When they get it they send you an invoice (for whatever tier you chose to have the figure graded under. Examples are Archival, Express, Standard...) via email with a "due date," which is the date they'll have your fig graded, once payment is made they then send it back and do an awesome job of packing it!

Silent Ninja got it. It's not hard, just fill out paperwork and ship.
Its alot of info but just read through everything and choose the right tier. The rest of my collection are kept in starcases in bins for now. |

Okay, took me a while but here are my pics! Here are the grades:
Snake Eyes w/ Black Timber U90 Snake Eyes w/ White Timber U90 Storm Shadow Camo U90 Cobra Commander U85 Flint U85 Cobra Officer U85 Snake Eyes V3 U90 Hiss Tank Driver U90 Viper U90 Spirit U90 Wild Bill U90 Duke w/ Jetpack U90 I'm trying to see if I can increase my collection to sealed cases only, but it may be asking for too much. I got lucky and got my hands on a Wave 1 sealed case recently, which I sent straight to AFA. |

Thank you! Yeah, I know several Tankers don't agree with getting their stuff graded with AFA, but I believe that one should do whatever makes them happy. I like AFA and highly recommend them!

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?
