[QUOTE="weasel, post: 492723, member: 14"] Edd, They grade foreign stuff on a different scale to Palitoy and Kenner. I'm not sure of the ins and outs of it, but as someone who has owned a lot of graded Kenner MOC's and a fair few Harbert/Takara/LL/Glasslite MOC's the difference is noticeable. Take two MOC's with identical issues, one Kenner and (say) one Glasslite and submit them, the foreign one will get a higher grade. I don't know if it's because of the relative rarity of the foreign stuff or not, but the fact foreign stuff grades higher has been going on for years. Certainly way back when I was actively buying, and that's 8-10 years ago. I would say the fact it was submitted by someone who gives them a lot of business (apparently) would be of lesser consideration than the fact the item in question is Glasslite. And, "yes" I agree that should be a 70 tops. [/QUOTE]
