[QUOTE="SAVORY100, post: 393976, member: 5830"] I'm not saying either UKG or AFA specifically, but there are many examples (on this forum too I seem to remember) that show where a figure has been cased by a grading company and the pieces that hold the head (or arms etc) in place have rubbed with the figure and in turn removed paint... often in shipping... You don't need to feel to see its a sharp edge, the acrylic inside these cases is cut at a sharp 90 degree angle, the edges are not chamfered to be round, they are of course not a razors edge either. Even the flat edges when they rub against the paint on a figure will eventually remove paint. GW Acrylic cases do not hold the figures in the same way, they do though protect from dust and dirt as well as not adding to the risk of paint loss that grading cases do. [/QUOTE]
