The unfortunate thing is that due to all the dumb asses that pay premium for AFA graded products, it is now more profitable to remove the TF from a sealed 'age worn' box and send it to AFA for grading.Originally Posted by Sky Shadow
What's most ridiculous is that it has a loose grade of U90, which means that someone sent AFA a MISB Twin Twist, then AFA took it out of its packaging just to put it straight into their plastic packaging.
Personally, I don't understand why anyone would want a loose AFA graded toy. I can somewhat understand why an MISB collector would want a graded boxed toy. But the final cost defeats the purpose of it from anyone who wants it for their collection and not for re-selling.
Also what are AFA's qualifications when it comes to grading toys? If such an expensive service cannot tell the difference between a G1 Bumblebee and a Clifjumper figure then how can I trust them to produce the right grading?
