I prefer AFA and recommend them if you're ever having stuff graded. That night raven I bought graded by CAS had a damaged case so I sent it to AFA to have recased. Upon them removing it from the CAS case they discovered it was glued to the inside in several places and thus would now be getting a lower grade.
When I asked CAS about it they said I could send it to them and they'd recase for free but would still be getting a lower grade now even though it was they're fuck up that caused the damage. They also mentioned to me that "they have quality checks in place & inspect ALL items before leaving there" as if to say they didn't cause the damage. My reply was I guess the photos are lying.

Well, if the grading is going to mean anything at all then they are correct that the item should now be downgraded in accordance with the damage to the box. So that part is reasonable. But them gluing the box to their case really sucks. Sorry to hear it happened.

That’s why I only trust AFA even if I have to pay a little bit more.

I’m genuinely sorry you got burned, but grading companies are total rackets, so that’s just some good ole fashioned caveat emptor shit right there.

So here was what it looked like before AFA removed & discovered it was glued to the case. Let's see what she looks like when I get it back from AFA. It will be a 70 now instead of 75 but hell I will be happy just to have the AFA label and no more CAS.

You can sue them for damages in small claims court and I bet you'd win.
Even if you didn't, this is something that like Judge Judy would take on in a heartbeat. SERIOUSLY, contact their casting department, they're still in production and would love something like this.

I actually regret posting this. The owner of CAS took the time to reach out to me personally to discuss this. We talked on the phone for probably 20 mins. He couldn't believe this happened to me, said it has never happened before ever and that there was no excuse for it.
Really nice guy.
