Just saw this on ebay and thought it was worth posting. I've never been a fan of AFA for this exact reason.

Wrong broken backpack. Not worth $30 bucks, much less what they are asking. AFA is clueless...

It got an 80, but the pack peg is broken off.

It's not the right backpack, either. That one came with the second Payload, not the Defiant version. It's also missing the arms or whatever those things on the backpack are. Looks like it had a piece of one.

Well without the specific grading scale, its hard to say what they graded the figure at. I mean the figure could have been gem mint (95) and the backpack at 60 because it was broken and thus the average was 80 or NM.
But the case could have been opened and re-sealed by the buyer and the broken backpack could have been put inside to "increase" the value. It is tricky to open the AFA cases, but not impossible. I emailed the buyer and asked him to scan the grading breakdown paper AFA sends back and I will see what he says.

YOJOE.COM | Payload As you can see, that version is supposed to have a white backpack, not the gray one it is pictured with. |

AFA is as reliable as any other toy pricing guide or method. The true value of an object is that which the buyer places on it.
