I had to choose the fastest turn around time which includes the Archival case so it was pricey. Normally it would've been about $150- $200 for the standard service without the Archival case which is fine. I never bother with the Archival case anyhow when I send stuff in, it's just a sales gimmick in my opinion. Archival is supposed to offer UV protection but it's all a bunch of bullshit, who in their right mind would store these in direct sunlight anyway. If you ever think of having stuff graded don't pay the extra $ for Archival case you don't need it.

I grew impatient waiting for my stickers to come so I built it.
I was surprised how few decals this behemoth actually has anyway given its size!

I remember getting it for Christmas the year it came out. My aunt asked what I wanted and I pointed at the Rolling Thunder. The next year when she asked, she stipulated a dollar amount to stay under.

Just got another Thunder graded 85.
This was always one of my favorites. As a boy this thing was huge especially compared to a Havoc and such.

Very nice! (as usual)
Something I've been wondering - does anyone have any idea how the graders know if the seal/tape is legit and not just added on after? |

I just read on fb how CAS the other Grading company is now rejecting loose Joe figures if they think the o ring has been replaced. It's creating quite a stir

The entire collectible grading industry seems shady AF, honestly.

Wow - many of my o-rings spontaneously combusted over the years, so I would think an original would be hard to come by these days!
