they're the experts because they are in bed with the Wizard/ToyFare crew, and they artificially inflate the market with an imaginary grading system that has no backing or credentials whatsoever, save for that handy little price tracking guide in the back of ToyFare. Such a scam, and so many people are falling for it.

However, I can think of numerous reasons AFA has graded it "uncirulated". You will probably like the one with "graded straight from factory" the best. So go ahead and buy it, it certanly looks like a figure in awesome condition. Me, I would not trust AFA a single second. I'd probably get a carded Takara CC instead. I love their card art, and it's the same figure for 1/5 the price.

I have also had issues with AFA in the past. The only MOC figure I sent to them was an 87 outback and they gave it a 70 and it was "dead....mint.....perfect"! It couldn't have been any more flawless then if I had frozen it in time. I think it is a load of crap and I'd like to see a lineup of their panel of "experts"! Probably resembles a rogues gallery of the "do not rent list" at the local adult video store!!..........Not that I would know what said list would look like .....or anything :-()

I;ve been buying alot of ungraded figures that are in really great shape lately and you get them at a much more affordable price.
Especially if your buying off the card. I could bag-seal a figure and probably get an uncirculated tag from AFA? Matter of fact, where did I put that sealer at....?? |
